This event sucks, big time. But next weekend is a million years away as far as I'm concerned.

boy, this dark side force is getting harder to combat by the hour!

What did you offer Ullr today????

Actually, I delamed some atomic Powder Pluses. The first step in reversing the camber. The rain is as expected. Collective bad karma for the ski areas hoeing out to flat landers while blacking out the true and faithful Ullr worshipers. Happens evey year...THEY come, and it rains. Don't worry, when they leave, it will snow again.

If you use lift service, don't slam the Flatlanders. Those millions weren't spent to serve a few locals midweek.

Not everyone wants millions spent in lifts.

That's why I said "if." If you don't use lifts you see VERY few flatlanders and have nothing to worry about.

I use lifts, just don't really care for all the problems that come with a high lift to acerage ratio.

I actually think JD was being facetious and joking. I am sure every resort in the east is working OT to make the mountains as family friendly as possible. For all of us, our kids our out of school, for many of us, it may be our only vacation time. Everyone deserves the best they can get. Just over xmas dinner tonight the family was figuring out which day we should go - it's not a matter of waiting - there is a narrow opportunity for us to be together as a family.

For the Ullr worshipers who choose to be fussy, their midweek days will come. While I love powder, the years have taught me to seize every opportunity, big and small, families, vacations, holidays, powder days, frozen and on and on. Sometimes, just being out of doors is the best part. I'm sure you all recall the days of hiking in a downpour, we never complained, tried to make light of it and enjoy the out of doors nonetheless.

Flatlanders and hill folk alike will probably have a better than usual week, because many will stay away, making it easier on us, but harder ($) on the resorts.

Interesting, Stowe is speaking of packed powder, I guess they got several inches last night.

Get out and have fun. that's all that counts!
