I skied with LAL back at the end of February. On Monday
we had a foot of fresh snow. We called it powder and
LAL later confirmed that the water content was about
8% which is within Bob's definition of "powder" being
between 2% and 10% water.


Uh, I think the deal was the fresh foot we skied was 12%; the fresh foot
a few days earlier in the week, which I probably mentioned, was 8%
according to the instruments. I don't know what that does to Bob and his
def.

How's the ribs.


Oh, sorry about the mis-read. It seemed pretty much powdery,
though I have skied fluffier stuff right here in good old
Vermont, say two years ago? I do remember being a little
tentative but I think I could get used to it without
crashing too often.

Ribs are mending. Or should I say the muscle between the
ribs are getting back to where it should be. Still a little
pain when I change attitude (standing to lying down), no pain
sneezing or coughing (that's good)

I still can't get the Raichle boots to be comfortable for
more than 2 hours. Tried last Friday. On at 8:30. Couldn't
stand them by 12:00. Switched to AT boots.
