Winter time being a great time for story telling, and having been
involved in some story telling on another thread, I thought I would try

story tellers out there, and we're all ready for a good laugh or sigh.


It's a story all right. As in "Tall Tale."

There is no such thing as a "Triple Black Diamond" at Keystone or anywhere
else in Colorado. It's sort of like telling a story about a class nine
rapid.

I'd like to know how the subject of the story got to the Outback if he
couldn't ski, as it's the third mountain back from the front, and you have
to do quite a bit of skiing to get there. And there's no triple black
diamonds there! At all. Just some greyish blackish ones.

I think I acknowledged that my memory may be fuzzy as to it being the
OutBack, and that it may have been a green run for that matter. That's
what happens when you get older, too many stories, and they get all
mixed up together. However the basic story was correct, so I apologize
to you and all, if you had trouble connecting the dots in my story. TnT
