Default Finally!

Hi All,

I have been grumpily reading posts here for the last month or so
wonder, when is it going to be my turn to ski?!!? We have had a warm
fall, with lots of rain, but no cold and no snow. But the last few days
have been cold enough that the guys at the ski club have been running
the snow cannons non-stop, and the prep is supposed to be ready for
tommorow. Just a 1.1km loop, but it's a start. We had huge snow last
year, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Time to go prep my skis!

The fall has been so lousy that there has been in the local paper talk
of a ski-tunnel for year round use. As part of a highway improvement
project, 1.7km of 2 lane road tunnel is to be retired. They are now
apparently working on plans to use it as a year round ski facility.
1.7km out and back would get pretty boring, but I have fantasies about
taking a long sweaty bike ride to the tunnel in the middle of the
summer, and skiing all afternoon, then riding home. Bliss!

Joseph
