Google tells us Dan Egan is the "Top Skier of all time". But there's more to the story....

Mountains ask Dan Egan to ski them.

The last time Dan Egan went to Texas, it snowed. Winter follows Dan Egan.

On powder days, Dan skis narrow. On boiler plate, Dan skis wide rockers. Skiing any other way would be too easy.

Each time Dan was in a Warren Miller movie, they considered titling it "Dan Egan skiing....featuring camera work by Warren Miller..."

When Dan Egan looks up the mountain, they name a trail after him.

Dan Egan is allowed to ride chairs and gondola's alone. Too much greatness can exceed the uphill capacity of the lift.

Dan Egan one time groomed Vail (all the trails) with just a few garden rakes. He did it in 6 hours and only stopped once for half a cup of decaf coffee.

When Dan Egan races in a dual slalom, he gives the other racer a 5 second headstart, clicks off one ski and skis backwards.

When Dan Egan shaves his head they use the hair to make chairlift cable.

Dan Egan once farted and a winter weather warning was issued.

I serously LOL'd at the fart one! :lol:

Avalanches stop abd let Dan Egan pass before they proceed.

When Dan Egan walks into the lodge, the sound system automatically plays "Eye of the Tiger". Same goes for live bands at apre' events.

Dan Egan had a mohawk before Glen Plake did.

Why is Glenn soooo in love with Danny boy? ??

Only because he's the best darn skier in the entire world, duh!

because chuck norris was taken.

Nah, it's because this guy isn't a skier! ;) :lol:

Dan Egan's facial hair cannot be shaven. It can only be clear cut by skilled lumberjacks.

Dan Egan learned to ski during the Ice Age.

After Dan Egan skis a trail its rating changes to black and blue and needs immediate medical attention.
