And here I thought you were one of those people with the forethought to
plan their lives to reside in a place where you don't have to get on a
jetliner to ski. (Unlike us poor slobs who move to the midwest, put
down roots, and discover skiing late in life...)

What gives? South America? New Zeland? Don't tell me you wasted
airfare on a trip that doesn't involve skiing?

Did you know there's no snow in the Virgin Islands? Came as a surprise
to me! I even brought my favorite skis; usually when transfers are
involved I just bring my boots. Dam uninformative tourist brochures.
