Default Off Topic skiing (was some wingnut rant or another)

Majordomo brain fart, guys. When I looked at the photos from the trip to
Colorado, the date stamps showed 2004. I thought, "How can this be? Did
I set the camera wrong?" My wife overheard me and asked what I was
whining about, and she confirmed that our trip was two years ago, not
last winter.

Time flies when one is having fun. (Or facing incipient Alzheimer's, I
guess.)


I get CRS sometimes too (Can't Remember S**t). If glodal warming has
indeed taken over the patterns, then it should be another great one at
Breck this year. You have to come back and ski the new Imperial lift - it
changes the whole Breck expert experience. And this year, there is new
terrain open south of the Lake Chutes (Snow White?). I am already getting
a woody thinking of those long steep pitches on a good powder day.


I worked Breckenridge for two seasons, and we never had any powder like that
in your photos. Must be nice.

I taught a couple of avalanche seminars at Jackson Hole while I was
patrolling at Breckenridge, and got to ski at least one day each trip. Both
trips had the sort of fluff that billowed over one's head in turns. I
thought I'd died and gone to Heaven. That was about as good as it ever got.
