    I have a quick question, why why the Johnny Klister blog taken off the blog roll? I noticed that a couple weeks ago and thought it might of been inactive for a while, but then went to the site to find it's still being updated early? It is because it is too opinionated?

    or maybe jk is gone from fs because in the winter a new post is blogged every 10 minutes. kinda hard to view other blog posts with endless jk blog-spam. jk is good for chuckles, but the human behind jk sure has a lot of free time - might consider getting a life, a job, train more or do something meaningful.

    Without revealing who the person behind Johnny Klister is, he or she has a full time job in the ski industry.

    @birkieturkey I've actually heard it's multiple people that have access to the blog which would explain the many posts that are specific to various places around the country.

    I don't know. Didn't know nathan shultz was one in the first place. I'm probably just rambling about a conspiracy theory. Too much 'Stuff They Don't Want You to Know' Podcast...

    @stormin: no problem, conspiracy theories are cool. seems like there is no shortage of fs blog spammers. first there was stinson, then johnny k, now statistical skier. i guess annoying people with hourly blog posts is more fun to some people than skiing or training (or having a life).

    I hear the main editor of Johnny Klister has reconstructive surgery every two years and travels only at night by stealth boat through the country's water ways. In any case, this is one tightly kept secret.

    It's true, the main editor is Gustav Graves and he's responsible for endless sunshine during Alaskan summers.

    Andy, I don't know about Johnny Klister, but I believe the endless Alaska summer sunshine was created by Sarah Palin. And I heard that after she created it she looked out the window of her house in Wasilla and saw Russia, and then she created long sunny summers in Siberia too.

    The clues are there that is unless you have no clue. LOL!
    Btw employers, especially the HR department, don't
    always see the humor. So umm I already gave him up
    & not doing it again. Besides the Train Wreck commentary
    was just priceless. One of JK's better moments.

    I like to post every once and a while... mostly around key Olympic years and mostly comment on how lame it is that skiers dont wax their own skis....
    Johnny Klister whomever he/she/they is /are a clown in a ski suit but man does he/she/they ever capture the feeling.... like the snickers guy .... man that guy is tough. Takes me back .... like to the time when salomon made the absolute worst bindings....wait they still do... and they squeak , oh god how they squeak...
    Whats my point.
