Welcome to the forum Hudsonriver.
The BMWMOA and the forum is so much more than a pin.
Stick around for a while and check the place out - it may change your non-reup position.
Keep the shiny side up!
Good to see you back Red. I don't have any MOA pins but send me a mailing address and I will send you an old PSIA certification pin if it'll make you feel better! (Professional Ski Instructors of America). The nicer things about that organization was not the pins either.You guys give out pins?
I had no idea!

Red, A.K.A (Dale the Rail), you probably deserve more than a pin. Just trying to make a point about "pins." I did not know Chris. I have had friends die in avalanches. Sorry about Chris taken so young. I did work in Colorado at Telluride, Copper and Crested Butte; the last two for Club Med., now defunct in the U.S. I've skied Highlands but the last time was in '83, before Chris's death; I am assuming the run is named after him. And how appropriate. I know you're fom Colorado, as I am to a degree, growing up there in Pueblo and later Canon City. Guess this thread is hijacked,huh? Oh well....My best friend in the 70s was a guy by the name of Chris Kessler. Chris skied professionally against the likes of "Spider Savage" (the only name I can remember). Chris died March 31, 1984 while setting off charges while working as a avalaunch gunner to start dangerous avalanches when he was doing his real job of ski patrol at Aspen Highlands ski resort.
Anyways, the long and short of it was that Chris taught me to really ski, carve versus skid. He was a "ski perfessional" but always willing to push his friends to excel at speed. (Check out a very steep run called Kesslers Run at Highland). Chris nick named me "Dale the Rail" cause I would never tuck as much as he wanted me to.
I don't think I deserve a pin...
a BIG welcome to Hudson River; hope you take yer shoes off and stay awhile!
I'm disgruntled over the fact that we don't get a basic BOA member pin with a new membership. I know the pin schedule starts at the 5 years mark, but i made the mistake of assuming that all members get that initial member pin with the starters package. Its not like they don't make'em, they actually sell them in general merchandise area for $2.00, which is what pisses me off the most. For forty dollars i got myself a decal and had to email to request the anoynmous book. They'll probably waste more than the lousy two bucks on mailing me reminders next year to re-join. Well here's advance notice, don't waste your time or money, i won't be re-joining...
Some people could find somethin'to bitch about if they were in swimmin'on a sunny day...
'Specially in Canada where the water is soooo darn cccold!
