Got out on my first couple ski tours in while last weekend.  Saturday felt like a race - but we managed to get first tracks onto almost every face, even with all the crowds racing up the bootpacks and skintracks to try and nab firsts.  Sunday pretty much whooped me - been a while since I did a solid ski tour and knocked out close to 5000 feet of climbing.  Snow was pretty deep so that added to the uphill challenge.  But what a fantastic weekend for late April.  So good that i’m changing up my workout schedule this week so I can try and grab a few after work tours this week.  Hoping to get about 2000 feet tomorrow, fingers crossed the weather stays cold!  lovin it.

It’s funny - I find the friend request option amusing.  While it’s a flattering when someone sends you a friend request-  it’s kind of annoying when there is no message content.  If you look at some profiles, there are peeps that are stalking over a 100+ profiles at the same time.  What’s the point?  At least a note saying "hey, nice job on the lats" or "we’ve got similar stats, i’m interested in your progress" - just something simple.  I have a hard time clicking accept on generic friend requests that have no value or meaning.  I’m adjusting some of my list because when someone has 1000 friends or stalking a mass amount of others, it’s kinda ghey.

If I use the friend function, I typically am looking for people of similar interest or builds- that I’m interested in their progress or gaining insight from (okay, double standard for me here cause with the ladies, it can also be that they are lookin’ fine, heh)

Curious as to other forum members thoughts on the whole friend request deal.  I’m all for networking, but at least make an attempt to personalize an intro.  There should be a little substance, right?
