Don't worry Jay...it wasn't an epic powder day. It was a bit tough to see due to the sleet/rain sticking to my goggles...and they were giving out free plastic ponchos. My gear was a bit "damp" after a few runs.

Still, it was nice to have frozen instead of rain!

Thanks for making me feel better Glenn!

Also, bookmarked the website, we will def. make it in before the end of the season. Any word if they are planning to stay open for the offseason?

Also, we had our first experience with Pizzeria La Toscanella on Saturday. We didn't try the pizza, but the sandwich (Caligula) and panini (prosciutto, mozz, arugula, etc) we had were fantastic.

LOL! No problem! I'm just happy we got snow out of this one. It could have been much much much worse!

I'm pretty sure it's a year round place. I've noticed a few locals in there. We seem to go at odd times though...after lunch/before dinner; so there's not much of a crowd. The portions are great too; you get a lot for your money.

I've never tried Pizzeria La Toscanella. Where is it located? Sounds like it's worth checking out.

Hmmm, maybe I have the name wrong then...its in the shopping center with all the yellow buildings, on your right as you travel north from Wilmington, before you pass 7-11.

Wrong side of the road . . . . the place on the left a little before that. Yes, it's my understanding it's year round and they're open from 11 am until late night. Again, great place!

Pizzeria La Toscanella is in the business plaza on the Northbound side of 100, maybe 150/200 yards up from the plaza that Valleyview Saloon is in. (Palmitier Real estate is in that plaza too)

And Glenn, if you ever munched on a piece of pizza (kid food ;) ) at my place one of the nights you and M have been over, then more than likely you've sampled their pizza :)

Ahhh! Ok! I think Melissa and I ate there before one year...maybe after Oktoberfest or the summer brew fest.

Vince...I was describing the location of the Pizza place...I think I understand where the Saloon is, over by the radio station and spa in that one plaza.
