Monarch still good

I was just away visiting my parents for a week in Southern Michigan. I
decided against trying to ski Brighton, Alpine Valley, or any of the
other local "mountains" and waited until I got back.
As a nice welcome back to the mountains I skied Monarch on Wednesday.
They had 4" new over night, 4" the night before, and 18" the night
before that. Temps had stayed pretty low so the powder was really nice
and dry. I was still bottoming out onto the pack here and there which I
could feel had really firmed up from some warm days since the last big
snow.
I had my cousin from Australia with me and he'd never skied (snowboarded
in his case - I try not to hold that against him) powder like this and
was loving it.
I have a few (touron-style) snapshots at:

I skied Monarch on the 9th & 10th and really enjoyed myself especially on
the 10th. I am not a poweder skier (yet) so I kept it on the groomed runs.

I just went to these links. Both give me "Server Error
in '/' Application. Runtime Error" and more.

They worked for me the other day, but now I get the same error. Try
going to his home page of http://mattb.net/ then clicking on the pics
link or maybe jumping to http://mattb.net/pics.aspx and see what
happens.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I renamed something and figured I'd break some
links, but also figured everyone had already looked who was going to.

My site is starved for attention, but my son isn't .

But, I just made a quick-fix that should help with the bad links and
just put you at the most recently added gallery if the specified one
isn't there. I also (hopefully) improved error handling a little.

PS - Monarch is where I learned to ski powder - it's great for that!

Sounds like all is as it should be, then =)
