no doubt. tell it like it is man. Skiing is great and all, but 8 years? And to answer someone's earlier question: I am guessing he doesn't have a wife or kids.

Seriously, I mean 8 years is impressive and all, but I ski 200 plus days every year and I really enjoy having time off my skis to travel, chill on the beach etc.

As far as I'm concerned I think that Rainer Hertich is the man. He has been living the dream for 2993 days thats amazing! Every ski bum should look up to this guy just like we all look up to McConkey. I wish Rainer a speedy recovery and hope that he is back out on the slopes he loves really soon.
