I heard they were waiting until they had snow on their trails...man made or otherwise. Seems lazy...I mean, the lifts are already there, just fire them up already!

On RSN's Reel Thrills, Plake had these old "grass skis" which were built for skiing on grass in the summer. It was pretty funny watching him try to ski and he did pretty well until the golf course manager came over and threatened to wrap his golf club around his neck unless he left. Reel Thrills is one my favorite shows, especially like the "crash of the week" segment. :lol:

That is a great show! They have some great movie clips and Plake is an interesting character. Kudos to the guy for having such a long successful career.

Wawa just announced they aren't opening on the 27th. No surprises there.
