Another miserable year
wrote in message
... And now as I try to post this through my regular newsreader, I find that Comcast seems to have dropped RSA and RSAM from its list of newsgroups. WTF? That only adds to me general annoyance with the lack of snow. I can still download and read but I cannot reply -- it tells me that no such groups exist. Odd. Hmmmm. I use comcast and I still have them. |

Dave M Heading there for this weekend. Huge base compared to same time last year. Snowing now according to my friends up there. Still only the Paradise lift for the fun trees and glades on that side. Still rather empty from what I hear even on weekends. They have started the condo developments at the base. Will wait until next year to see the impact of that. TG |

Dave M Yep, I think you should whine some more. It seems to be pretty effective. Mt. Spokane was pretty good on Sunday and we are headed up to either Red or Whitewater for next weekend, as well. I like Red, but if we stay in Nelson there is more to keep the Mrs. entertained if she decides not to ski for one of the days. Ping me off-line if you'd like to get together either on or off the mtn. -- Dave in Spokane |

They're probably blocking access from outside their network. Verizon does the same thing. If you still want access from the road, and you have a 2nd PC at home, you can set up port forwarding with ssh. That's what I have to do to access my news server from work. -- To reply by email remove "_nospam" |

I have slowed the whine down a little bit. Schweitzer is over 100" all of a sudden and Red is close to that also. We haven't been to Whitewater is a few years. Should probably put that on the list. We are going up to Red tomorrow (Friday) and will ski Friday, Sat, Sunday. Can't remember where we are staying but it is one of their famous "ski-in walk-out" places. If you are going to be up at Red it would cool to hook up for a beer or something with another Spokane/ RSAM local. I don't think that they have changed to lodge up there yet so it should still be a dark hole with mediocre beer -- just what I need after a day of skiing those trees off Paradise. Let me know. I'll send this off group also. |

I was there with my family from Kentucky. BTW, I thought conditions were great Friday/Saturday with Sunday being great up on Granite but a little icy and chunky on the bottom - eg. cat track area of Long Squaw. Have a good one. |

Well, we probably did run into each other then since we were at the Red Rob condos also. I spoke with someone who had a vaguly southern drawl that must have beenn you. We were on the left side of the building as you went in -- number 8, I think. The snow was really good on the Paradise chair and the visibility on Saturday was a lot better over there. Once it froze on Saturday night, I ventured down from that side only for food and beer -- and to go home. They haven't gotten much in the past weeks so we have been skiing closer to home but we'll probably get back up there before the end of the month. I don't suppose that you'll be back, eh? DaveM |
