BTW, it snowed

again last night, and is trying to get started again as I type.

Not much (~ and inch here at dawn) but enough to remind me it ain't even
close to over. Had to take another couple of paraffin blocks to the
locker for the wax bench. Wax up every morning these days...

You seem to ski a lot.. do you work?

Jeepers. Maybe Tahoe isn't getting spring at all this year. Lucky buggers. I
think you won this winter, fair and square.

Aye, it's rough on Eastern skiers, nobody to fill the chairs = closed!

Communism has fallen, the free world is safe, (except for fools in high
places) and there hasn't been a middle size Bang in Nevada in years and
years. My work here is done.

Do you ski?

It started snowing again about 8pm - two more inches on the deck in the
last couple of hours. I don't think it'll amount to much, but it will
sure prettify everything.

I do - but I wish I could ski with around the same frequency as you seem
to..

So what you're saying is, no spring corn for a while?

Occasionally. But these light snows (3 inch more last night) insulate
the surface, and the overcast skies keep the sun off it, so it never
softens. Keeps it kind of bumpy. Corn will return.

Weather forecast is for warming - should be Spring soon, I imagine
(maybe as early as next month? certainly no later than June!)

Skied a few with a visiting Kiwi this am, mostly high speed groomers,
with occasional flourishs into the chopped up refrozen just to keep the
knees limber. Or sore, depending on how one looks at it. Nothing an
apres ski beer doesn't cure.

Got as foot here at the house yesterday and last night.

Won what? You need to get out of Park City more.
