If all goes well, I should be there but not working (in civilian garb). Let me know if that's where you'll be and I'll monitor channel 5-2.

Hey Ron, I've been out of circulation for a couple weeks. My wife had a medical problem and I've been care giver. I'm planning on going tomorrow. I'll let you know. I'll be free skiing next week probably Tuesday and Thursday. I usually go in via Skye Ship on Route 4 since it's the closest entry to my home. I may also try Pico on Thursday to see what has happened there. Pico is where I go if I'm forced to ski on a Saturday, otherwise I generally prefer Killington which has more diversity. Here's three ways to get ahold of me. Cel 802.770.2784 I'll monitor FRS channel 5-2 for the first 2 hours of the morning Leave a not for me at the patrol shack at Killington peak (it's new, a hex shaped building where Great Northern does a hairpin turn within sight of the top of the Gondola) or Skye Peak. Leave it near where the Ambassadors sign in an out. Try the cel first, but I've been having trouble with it. Time for a new one. |

I'm willing to bet your Patagonia outfit is so big that it has it's own area code. When you get on the lift does it grind to a quarter speed? Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |

You undoubtedly missed the headon collision (2 dead, according to rumor in the traffic backup) on 38 just below the mile 17/5000 foot elevation markers. From a distance, it looked like an uphill car wandered into the downhill lane and both ended up in the gurad rail I spent 3 hours waiting for police cars, ambulances, tow trucks and helicopters to clear the scene and just got home a few minutes ago. I passed some sort of accident on the uphill side, but there was no traffic backup on either side and it didn't look serious, so that must not have been it. That would have been around 1:30 or so, maybe a bit later. The real story: http://kbhr933.com/current-news/high...ts-fatalities/ I pulled into a turnout behind a 40-foot tractor/trailer whose driver said he couldn't turn around there and promptly got boxed in by 5 dump trucks returning down hill after delivering loads of crushed rock to a construction site (doesn't that mountain already have lots of rock available?). You'd think. Could it have been part of the dam roadwork? The arctic circle would seem to be an excellent place for gathering rock, but maybe When I wandered out into the bushes to take a leak (it must have been obvious - one of the truck drivers yelled at me to be careful of the poison oak) a CHP helicopter flew over carrying, I must assume, cameras. Should the worst happen in the poison oak department, a Decadron shot works nicely -- or at least it did 40 years ago; they probably have better stuff now. And yes the skiing was perfect. Usually Big Bear days are icy in the morning slush in the afternoon. Today was packed powder top to bottom, start to finish. Bev's skiing style includes scolding snowboarders who stop in blind spots, and she looks enough like a little old lady (excuse me Bev) that they don't give her any **** for it. Too bad about the poison oak warning -- it would have made a lasting memory, reminding you that women of a certain age sometimes have unseen talents. I REALLY don't like that road. There are few (one?) passing lanes, it's too slow for 3rd and too fast for 2nd downhill, and brake fade is always a worry ever since it happened a couple of years ago, maybe the first time I drove the Caddy down the hill :-( -- Cheers, Bev ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++ Warning -- Driver carries less than $20 worth of ammunition |

The real story:http://kbhr933.com/current-news/high...ts-fatalities/ Thanks for the link. I woke up 3 AM Friday planning on hitting Bear Mt. since my pass works there also and everything is reported open. However, I checked the weather channel radar and there was intermittent rain all over So Cal, so I rolled over and went back to sleep. Today I am loading up the truck for the Mammoth trip. If I get the time, I will be hitting the local Play it Again Sports shop looking for replacement bib (broke a pocket zipper Wednesday - still usable, but a PITA when it's cold). Plan is drive up Sunday, stopping for lunch at the Ranch House in Olancha and at K-Mart in Bishop to shop for real tire chains and dirt cheap ski clothes. Lodging will be at Econo Lodge in Mammoth Lakes (surprisingly affordable and earns me points on my Choice Hotel plan). 2 days at Mammoth, Wednesday at June, then hoteling a night in Bishop and back home Thursday. |

He bought used snowboarder pants. Probably because they have a full cut to hide his diapers. |

Be a real dirtbag, simply stitch up the pocket with the offending zipper. The bib-overall-style pants in question had already been patched with velcro strips when one of the suspender strap latches broke years ago. And the zipper still works, but the pull tab disappeared so it requires bare fingers to open and close. Anyway, I took the opportunity to get myself 2 new pairs from a used sports shop. And, just to keep up the dirtbag quotient, I removed the lock from the gas filler panel on my truck because it was getting difficult and replaced it for the moment with a couple of strips of duck tape. |
