After bragging earlier abut how the local hill had been open
Thanksgiving weekend for decades straight, it isn't open yet.

Nuts.



Well, Boreal is open, which is more than most of us have got at this
point. Sow, you do have options, and any Real Skier (TM) would have
exercised said options over the past weekend.


Boreal encourages boarders. Between that and the fact they have only a
patch of manmade available, most of which is homesteaded by lounging
boarders sitting on their behinds, it isn't really an option. I went by
just to look at the scene.


Huh. Sounds like every opening day at the local molehills for the past
several years. They get one or two runs open, and start the lifts at
3pm, just in time for the after-school boarder kids.

Anyway, I see that Kirkwood and Northstar have a few runs of manmade
open as well.


However, it is snowing now; hard enough that I raised my hinged deck so
I won't have to shovel it off later.


Good. Things are looking up.

Got a couple of cases of Urquel to tide me over - I should be OK.


Save a few bottles for me. I'll be there a week from Sunday.
