Cute, those rsa folks need RESERVATIONS to go skiing. No wonder they
plan ahead.

This depends on the scale of the trip.

Some people are in the unfortunate situation of having to plan ahead
to be able to take a week off work for skiing. Also there's plane and
hotel for that trip to somewhere other than the usual driving distance
places. Looks like it's going to be Serre Chevalier this year!

I wanted to do a month long ski trip to Europe Jan/Feb. 2005.
I stayed home to work on systems software issues for going back to the
Moon and Mars. I soldiered on. 2006 after I left that I asked for the
month off. No Europe trip this year. I see the Europeans here.
They want the excuse to visit the Silicon Valley.

A snowcave, many years ago now, from the Pass and then NE.

Building snowcaves are so fun. When I was dumbass freshman I drove up
into Logan Canyon with some similar minded buddies. We found a LOADED
Northeast facing slope. And dug this nice cave just big enough to fit
three guys and a massive J. Five minutes after lighting the stupid
thing, I noticed the celing started to sink down (go figure) and I was
crawling outta there for some oxygen.

Good times...

I wish Vail / Beaver Creak would dynamite a few mountains across the
highway from the resorts....Put in a runway long enough for a 747
and they can just drive like five minutes to the lodges and
mountain. Damn that would be nice.

These are all good, but you have to do things like cite JOBS.
EMPLOYMENT. etc.

Nope, nice Wilderness N. of Vail(tm), huts and real skiing (and
probably Ed's snowcave...er, igloo). Don't give them any ideas. Make
'em land in Kansas to get that 'rado powder. They gotta earn it
somehow.

You guys will have to work on politics a bit.

What, for the Gmail data mining thingie? DIA is almost in Kansas. Not
enough bandwidth here anymore for much useful data mining.

Think Solitude. Think Honeycomb Canyon. Think taking a **** in the yard of
the houses at the end of the road. Take a dump while you are at it.

I think you'll be ok.



PLEASE try to disuade people from coming to this state.
Colorado...California...Taos....JaxHOle....He ll British COlumbia
even...ANYTHING. Do your part to prevent this place from becoming the
playground of the upper middle class from the East Coast.

Upper middle class from the East Coast?

The future of Gmail data mining will be interesting on this group.....

Speaking of which. Colorado has more and better snow at the
moment. *Awesome* early season in Colorado... Got
that.. Colorado. Think A-Basin COLORADO, Loveland COLORADO. El Nino
COLORADO. California should be good. But not as good as
COLORADO. Ugh.. Idaho.. can't forget Idaho. Or COLORADO. It's not just
about potatoes anymore. It's COLORADO. And my favorite, North
Carolina. Which is almost as good as COLORADO. That should it for the
greppers.
