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: http://mattb.net/pics.aspx?gal=2005-02-03%20(Another%20nice%20powder%20day%20at%20Monarch %20with%20cousin%20Rob%20and%20Jackie) or http://tinyurl.com/4xtpr Matt |

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. -- From: Mark A Framness http: http://www.framnett.net/index.html With all of thy getting, get understanding! Proverbs 4:7 |

http://tinyurl.com/4xtpr 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. |

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