Shit, I did it. Ok what do we have? Looks like we may get a few inches. Meadows seems to be opening. Hmmmm are you thinking what I am thinking? That's right, it's time to ski the trees! And by trees I mean the tops of those poor little 24" trees that are still sticking up through the pathetic snow pack. But what the hell, the skis are trashed anyway. See you on the slopes.

Jokes of the Day:

How many Telemarkers does it take to change a lightbulb?
50, each to turn once and then fall down.
How many ALpiners does it take to change a light bulb?
None, they're afraid of change and prefer to stay in the dark
What does a Vacuum and a Snowboard have in common?
They both have dirtbags attached!!!

Be safe out there
