SKI_NYC : Message: Is it me? Or is it getting cold out there?

Hiya Everyone,

The seasons are changing, snow is falling in the Rockies, and there's a bunch of
ski shops doing everything they can to get you in their door to do some shopping.
So why not stoop to their level? I'm not beneath it - it costs money to run a ski club.
So - Click HERE to get your own Official Diamond Dogs Schwag.

I'd like to announce that our own Adrianna Pidwerbetsky has been selected as the
new Membership coordinator for the club. So the best thing you can do right now to make
her look good is to tell a few friends about the club. So - If you have a friend who likes
to ski or snowboard, send them over to http://www.ski-nyc.com/Membership.htm now.

Lastly, I need to add this commentary to irk Dave - GO YANKEES!!!!
(Don't worry about him, I'm sure he'll get his payback on Oct. 24th...)

Soul Purpose features Sage Cattabriga- Alosa, continuing his laid back and stylish assault of big mountain lines, while the rest of the Utah posse continues to drop jaws. Micah and Nobis find undiscovered couloirs in Italy; the jib crew expands the industry's concept of big mountain lines; and Burks, Law and J. Jones descend on Mica Creek BC. Travel the globe to: Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Mother Russia, British Columbia, Wyoming, Oregon, Utah, California and AK. Athletes include: The Collins boys, Sage, Pierre, Skogen, Marc-Andre, Victoria, J Jones, Woods, Crichton, Rinfret, Law, and many more.
