Thread: Snow in Houston

People are still water skiing in New Braunfuls on the the Guadalupe.....of course I stand on the bank at my dads place yelling at them like a maniac calling them maniacs.

Well lets hope not since you have 1000's of encounters of high altitude whilst jumping out of planes. haha

How very observant of you!

Yep, took my whole front yard to put those together.

Well, it's somewhat similar but also quite different. I am usually exposed to 10k+ ft for no more than 5 minute intervals while skydiving (most of that in the plane, ascending), and I am not exerting myself at all during those 5 minutes. A few hours skiing or snowboarding is a very different story (long duration, much energy expended due to activity). But maybe the skydiving helped somehow, who knows?

I started making one and after 10 minutes only had one sphere about as big as a beach ball, so I quit. First snowman attempt in my life = fail. Of course, I've seen much better snow in Tahoe and CO but too busy with other stuff to stop and play kiddie games.
