If the sun is shining, usually just wear my normal sunglasses. If it's not shining, why would I go to Snow Summit? |

I tried duct tape just to close off the draft on previous goggles, but the tape doesn't stick well. I got some from Tognar http://www.tognar.com/index.html years ago. I don't see it any more at a quick glance but you can dig deeper or telephone. I used spray glue with stencil-like paper maskings to control the spray. It worked well and lasted another season allowing me to wait til end-of-season sales to replace the goggles. I just keep a couple goggles ahead for $3 at the thrift shops. |

Resort food just isn't worth it. You've never been the Stein Eriksen Lodge, have you? Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. Merry Christmas everyone. God bless us all. |

I wondered why my eyes were feeling a bit chilly last time. There was foam there when I started. Hmmmm. But you forget -- I buy mine used for a buck or two. People generally get rid of them when the foam goes, even if the rest is virtually pristine :-( I have some gaffer tape now (Thanks, Spawn!). Maybe that will work better. No, it won't. Gaffer tape is, AFAIK, black duct tape and no more. |

You've never been the Stein Eriksen Lodge, have you? I have. Fifty times or so. Have a ceremonial hot chocolate there, sing with the musician, hang with the rich folks. Best on mountain bar in skiing. Last year after we humiliated Brain Fried Bob when he didn't have the nads to show up with three months notice, we skied to Stein's and laughed at all of you freaks, especially him. A great time was had by all. Funny I never run into you. Oooops, forgot. You don't ski. |

Bev can wear it like a mummy, and nobody will run off the hill screaming having seen a monkey head on a human body. |

That was my opinion of Deer Valley food: expensive like other reosrts, but actually worth it. |

That was my opinion of Deer Valley food: expensive like other reosrts, but actually worth it. Expensive food is only worth it when you can put it on your expense account. In N Out food, au contraire, is ALWAYS worth it! It's raining now. WOOHOO! My ski backpack usually includes a sandwich, chocolates, cheese and crackers. What else does man need? It's maybe 200 feet from the ticket windows to my car. Easier to walk than carry stuff in a backpack. OTOH, my skis are really heavy and I don't feel comfy leaving them. AND the walk to and from the car may have contributed to my early tiredness. Maybe I will dig out a small backpack. And put a neckstrap on the little Canon A400, which seems to do whatever is needed and was $5 at a yardsale. I carry a cable lock for the skis or board, and the pack for lunch. Stevens Pass is still good enough to provide a microwave and hot water, so lunch is usually quite good. |
