What about you? http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/satellite/?wfo=slc Check out the Western US 16km animation. Southern Storm track. I'm in Salt Lake at the mouth of Little Cottonwood. The weekend after this we'll be in Moab. Then back to the Hole. Gov't Ski Team on the loose... Ah, I'm envious. We're in make-do mode here, but we _are_ making do. Well, enjoy it -- somebody ought to get some use out of it! |

Who knows. How about this cold snap? Pretty chilly. At least I'm driving a loaner Outback from the dealership that has heated seats ... and an indicator so that I always know how cold it is outside. Brr! Still planning to go skiing Saturday and Monday. Just gotta bundle up. -- monique Longmont, CO |

He's said that himself. Got a cite for that? Because that's sure not his history. I cited the WC and Worlds numbers for you. And, let's remember, he's a New England boy. At CVA they have what's called "Speed Week", when they train speed events -- that should give you an idea of the balance of speed to technical in ihs background. Last season on OLN. It wasn't printed so I doubt I could Google it. It was either during ace coverage or in the special they did on him. I can't remember which. His results ought to be enough proof though. Look at every combined he's skied. He's way behind after the slalom and makes up for it in the DH. We've beaten this argument to death. Time to put an end to it. -- To reply by email remove "_nospam" |

It wasn't printed so I doubt I could Google it. It was either during ace coverage or in the special they did on him. I can't remember which. His results ought to be enough proof though. Right, but...I showed you his results. He has more career wins in tech events than in speed events -- far more. Look at every combined he's skied. He's way behind after the slalom and makes up for it in the DH. The combined doesn't work like that. The DH is _always_ run first -- and in every combined that I can recall _except_ for this one at the Torino Olympics, he has been _trailing_ after the DH run and made it up in the slalom. Sometimes he has made up huge deficits -- take a look at the '03 Words, or the '02 Olympics (didn't get the win that time, but came within a few hundredths). We've beaten this argument to death. Time to put an end to it. I thought the facts would do that, and I think -- if you want to talk record -- the facts are on my side. |

Jump in somebody elses ****. I'm sorry, I think you just broke my irony meter. You're talking beyond your experience. I'm calling you on it. Live with it. And get off the internet and get some turns. Jesus. Why do you keep telling me to go skiing? What were YOU doing today? |

I'm sure you could find sucrosic snow at ground level on North aspects left over from October. It's irrelevant. Your pressure bubble is about a meter. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

A bit strange to go to Loveland to warm up (from Denvers burrrr cold temps). I was never cold Saturday, well until I returned home to Denver. Traffic was nice and mellow on I-70 both ways. Sweet Day!

A bit strange to go to Loveland to warm up (from Denvers burrrr cold temps). I was never cold Saturday, well until I returned home to Denver. Traffic was nice and mellow on I-70 both ways. Sweet Day! I went to A Basin on Saturday; had a great time. I thought it would be cold, but it was actually beautiful. Thighs were toasted by noon or 1 (I forget). The weather was beautiful, but without thighs it is hard to ski ... I was planning to ski Monday, but then ... I ended up slipping in the shower (what am I, 85?) and bruising my right foot pretty badly. I could have skied with some pain, but I decided to take that, along with the fact that my friend cancelled and my husband couldn't go, as an omen and stayed home. I hear it was, again, beautiful =/ This weekend, I'll be cavorting with friends from out of town at Vail (hey, I didn't choose their vacation spot). And the weekend after that, I'm heading to Steamboat for a few days. God, I love living near big mountain skiing! Sam "Breck, Thursday, be thereeeeee" Seiber What's going on Thursday? I already know I can't make it =/ -- monique Longmont, CO |

Hey, how were the lift lines? Loveland doesn't get any once they get all the chairs running. Saturday, I think 6 people was my big line of the day. It is a real kick to think about leaving Denver to go to Loveland to WARM up. I guess Friday, it was something like 12 at Loveland, and -2 in Georgetown. Can you say INVERSION? Well, we spent more time on the Pali lift than we usually do, and the Pali lift is always more crowded than the mid-mountain lifts. I'd say about typical for the Basin; the mid-mountain lifts are ski in, sit down. I'm intrigued by Loveland, but the Colorado Pass has me enslaved. It's just so cheap ... What's going on Thursday? I already know I can't make it =/ Well, I am NOT going to work. I am going to Breckenridge. Ahh. Have fun! -- monique Longmont, CO |
