Getting ready to go to the sons house again. We got the water line in yesterday, the electrician was there putting in lights, switches, and plugs, and the heating guy was there working as well. Getting close to being done with this project- finally! floors and trim next I guess. Have some final sheetrocking to do in the master bedroom today.

Playing with the cats while I have my coffee. Raining here, so my plans of doing some yardwork and mountain biking seem shot.

Taking some time looking over some ski slopes maps wondering which one to hit this winter and which ones to avoid.

Taking some time looking over some ski slopes maps wondering which one to hit this winter and which ones to avoid.

I was curious so I checked what you had written earlier on this topic:

I don't think I actual have a "home mountain" yet. Last season I skied Sundown, Beast, Black, Wildcat, Attitash and Bear Peak, Cranmore, Stratton, Bromley, Pats. Never really got used to any mountain.

This season I would like to find a "home mountain" we can all enjoy as a family.

I presume you know about the Connecticut Ski Council voucher deal? You have a few days to join a club and buy your discounted tickets. The AE Ski Club does all their membership and ticket voucher buying online and has fairly low membership fees. You also get to participate in "Council Awareness Days" at various mountains. Looking at their web site, the cutoff for receipt of payment for the voucher program is October 8th so you have maybe 1 more week.

The Connecticut Ski Council is at: http://www.skiclub.com
That has a list of all the clubs.

The AE Ski Club is at: http://www.aeskiclub.com/

Here's their latest newsletter:

Here are preliminary Council Awareness Days:

There are other clubs like Goodmen that are also inexpensive to join.

Instead of North Conway, you should consider trying farther north in Vermont since it's a straight shot up I-91. Vermont gets a lot more natural snow so the surface tends to be better. If you find a mountain you like, you can probably latch onto a ski club that has a ski lodge there. That's also something you can find on the Connecticut Ski Council site if you dig enough into the member clubs. That's a good inexpensive entry into the "home mountain" game for a family.

Simultaneously doing Wildtree paperwork and reading Women in Love by D.H. Lawrence for English class. I have to say for a 500-page book that can be pretty stuffy, it's also quite surprising. Now if only I weren't behind....

Wanting to throw all my servers out a window.

Good thing there aren't any windows in the server room.
