<p>You use the pencil tool to draw a slope. When you are finished, a little sledder slides down the slope on his (her?) sled. Warning - this obeys the laws of physics, so the sledder might get injured if your slope is too steep or not curved enough at the bottom or …???</p>
<p>If you think you’re creative on this (and it is addictive), try going to youtube.com and searching for linerider. There are some mighty inventive people out there…</p>
<p>My 13 year old has been doing this for months and has perfected it. His little guy goes forever jumping from slope to slope and doing triple somersaults. Mine just crash and burn.</p>
<p>One is I do not need ANOTHER addictive website after CC! Please! :D</p>
<p>Two, my kid is a ski racer and it is a very dangerous sport and the last thing I need is images and reminders of crashes. Thankfully, she has never been injured but we know many who have had serious injuries, some who will never walk again, and some who have died. I’m going to her first race of the season tomorrow and the whole time I watch her careening down the course at break neck speed, I’m thinking “don’t get hurt…finish the run!” So, I don’t think I can play that game on the link without it just ruffling my nerves even more!</p>
<p>ahhh soozievt we’re just going to have to ban you from that site. Maybe there’s a game where you have to sit in front of a roaring fire and drink hot chocolate. </p>
<p>Digi…ship it PLEASE!!! The skiing SUCKS BIG TIME here in the East, though as I write, the snowplow guy is plowing my driveway, hooray! It actually looks like winter finally in the past day. It has been INCREDIBLY warm in the Northeast and no snow but plenty of rain and green grass. My daughter is at a three week ski training camp with her college team in NH and I feel badly for her because the skiing is SOOOOOO limitted and really BAD and they have yet to see any time in gates and now she has races and so it is bad to never have been in a training course going into that this season. She hasn’t even been able to work on skiing as the conditions suck and they have to ski on crowded trails as the mountain they are at has no snow on the race hill. Some races were rescheduled. The race we are going to is far away and I hope the conditions are safe. At least it turned colder so they can make snow. Before it was too warm and rainy to make any. The other day, my husband was hiking on the mountain, rather than skiing on it, which is not what he usually does in January. </p>
<p>Digi…you guys have too much snow if there is such a thing. That avalanche on the highway was scary. That is the road I believe to Winter Park and that is where the National Collegiate Ski Championships will be this year if my D makes it. I wish there was a happy medium between your winter and our extreme opposite so far this winter. I tell my D it can only get better, not any worse! The other day she had to ski in a raincoat, ugh. I live in a ski resort town and so this is hurting many people’s businesses which is sad.</p>
<p>The highlight of my D’s winter so far was a few weeks ago as she traveled to Alta Badia in the Italian Alps on her own and stood on skis right on the race trail of the World Cup, a dream come true.</p>
<p>I tried it! It’s a cute site. I’m going to show it to D - she’s great at this kind of thing.</p>
<p>No lineriding here in PA - the last few weeks here have been unbelievably warm, with temps in the 50s, and even 60s - it got up to 70 (breaking an old record by a mile) this past Saturday! Not a single flake of snow until… just now this very minute… it’s snowing! And sticking! OK it stopped :rolleyes: and now sunny skies, but this is the first really cold day we’ve had all winter… It looks really bizarre in combination with all the prematurely blossing pink cherry trees in my area!</p>
<p>Soozievt - the Colo ski resorts are doing fine, but most of the snow in the past month hit east of the mts: Denver areas and the eastern plains. Now the problem will be frigid temps - single digits this weekend. We were planning to go up to ski on Saturday but will pass until the weather warms up. And yes, that avalanche could have been a major tragedy - a couple of hours earlier the road it hit was full of cars packed with families…</p>
