Nuthin' worse than a thread that degrades into rants about spelling.

And besides... I'll bet silk panties 'r mighty comfy.

Amen, on both counts.

Our lo of the day probably comes from Middle English lo, a shortened form of loke, in turn from Old English loca, imperative of locian 'to look'.
The phrase has been used in serious literature since at least the 1800s. To cite just one example, "Lo and behold, there was something the matter with the great clock; and a workman on a pair of steps had taken its face off, and was poking instruments into the works...." (Charles Dickens, Dombey and Son).
Lo alone is attested from around 1000. Perhaps its most well-known use, without "behold," is from Alexander Pope's Essay on Criticism (1711), which begins with the familiar "Hope springs eternal in the human breast." The crucial lines are,
"The soul, uneasy, and confined from home
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind..."

Corrected! But since the club just won't let this thing go away, I may as well stir the pot again. So, Sugarbush won't let people hike for turns because of liability issues, but they are OK with people skiing woods at their own risk with 10 inches of base as long as the enter and exit the woods off of open trails.....


Honestly, which is more dangerous, letting people ski woods that is "open" by their trail policy with no where near enough base by any reasonable standards, or letting people ski open grassy fields with the same amount of cover.
Can't wait to hear the justification for this one..

Lo..I just looked at your avatar on the MRV board. Wow, you're pretty old to be skiing aren't you?

I have no idea, but if the Mountain Ops people at Sugarbush can't answer your question, maybe the good folks over at Wildcat can.....:lol:

Ah...more uncoolness. 146 days huh....all at sugarbush? God, that's sounds so boring I almost just fell asleep thinking about it. Single huh? Not suprised. BTW, I am impressed with the Sugarbush loyalty, I haven't seen such blind adoration since the Republican National convention.

boy, I'm glad I missed this thread today. Guess the nurse forgot to hand out the meds today.

A bit more snow might help the situation; all will be well again. It sure gets grumpy in here when the snow is sub-optimal I seem to remember December 17th last year skiing in 12" of fresh pow. I'm figuring out my too-sick-to-work excuse now. Those are the important matters you should be focusing on....

Wow..seriously..I put Sugarbush 2nd to Stowe north of Massachusettes..and Killington is the best skiing in Massachusettes..yes I consider everything south of Sugarbush to be Massachusettes. I'm a northern Vermont ski snob living in PA..lol..Holla

 

[deadheadskier]

As they say, this thread delivers!!! :lol:

Only thing missing really is some more Killington speak

quote for stoke and helping march this masterpiece to page 20 :beer:

It is gross....and we really do need a dump.

Read www.treeskier.com. Jay is the man.

For all the challenges, Sugarbush is an amazing place. I love all of northern Vermont too and try to venture as much as possible, although I tend to play where I work. 95% of my skiing or riding is right here in the Mad River Valley and I never get bored. How could you?

Blazers rock!

The most important turn of the day.

Go go God-Willa! She can shoot fire from her eyes.

Coach Diggity!

Diggity again.

Coach Waitey.

Coach Rick.

Egan brutha!
