LAL,

Where were you today ?
Friday at Sugar Bowl was pretty nice. Best day I've had there in a few
years.

I was too damn afraid of the tourists to leave the house today.

Still snowing hard, and cold. 40-50 inches in the last few days on the
slopes. Windy today, so top closed (anemometer on the peak froze so don't
know the actual wind velocity.)

But had plenty of freshies to ski. Irregular surface, as overnight winds
compacted some, drifted it deep elsewhere, and left wonderful light
faceshot powder in the trees and sheltered slopes. 15 inches more
predicted by tomorrow, with continued cold, so should be a fair day, what
with just a few locals on the slopes. 35 inches predicted through Tuesday.

Tough getting back to the cabin from the slopes, with a mob of people
parked on I-80 trying to get to the flatlands so they can go to work
Monday. Had to use wiles and backroad knowledge to escape their self-made
traffic hell. Must have seen 10 different vehicles in ditches, in the
trees, and one UP a bank. These tourists drive like maniacs.

Cleared the deck, then cranked up the plow truck and cleared the driveway,
and when I finished there were 3 more inches on the deck. Life is good.

Get it while you can.
