+Yurkie Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I spent some time on the Virtual Slopes this afternoon. Course conditions where excellent, nice deep base with a couple inches of fresh powder. My best run. 24:51 I am in awe of the under 21 second time Tom's got on Twin Galaxies.

duncantoml Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I am in awe of the under 21 second time Tom's got on Twin Galaxies. Thanks! The slopes were extra fast that day and a little airplane wax on the skis did the trick. All BS aside, I got really lucky on that run down the slopes. Played a few games of Skiing and my best so far is 22.23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) My "SKI"hat off to you duncantoml on those incredible Skiing scores! What's the secret as I did a run straight down without even bothering with the gates and only could do it in 23:21 before the penalty time is added!!! THIS SCORE DOESN'T COUNT. Just had to ask as I'm ready to bash my head threw a wall. Edited December 14, 2010 by NIAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
