Glad to hear that. So did I. One pathological liar chatting comfortably with another pathological liar. That's rsa, folks, where decency is unknown and evil rules. |

Close It's my pet name for the track back to the lift if you take the poma lift at Powder and go way, way (skiers) right. It's a fantastic run until the return journey along the creek. |

It's a fantastic run until the return journey along the creek. Take up skiing, use poles and it wouldn't be nearly the problem. ;-) I've given thought to the poles... but the skiis? (shudder I find it takes less energy to whine than it does to take up a new sport. And I'm aware of the irony of complaing about a long flat cat track when you consider the folks who posted here, Bob, Bob, Jeff, Andrew, probably you, the list goes on. Besides, I LOVE my boarding. Although the skiiers in the pipe this year were really strong. (but I can't wait until they start hitting the rails in force) Dave |

Car hire in Utah
In ,
pigo typed: "Alan Rowland" wrote in message ... I'm planning my first ski trip from the UK to the US, staying in Salt Lake City from Mar3-17, and driving to all the local resorts, and I'm about to organise a hire car. I have a couple of questions: do I need a 4wd or snow chains? And which hire companies (based at the airport) would you reccommend for low cost? Thanks, Al My bil might be here about that time from Coventry. I would get 4wd if you are coming here to ski the crap out of it. If you can take not getting up if we get nailed it's not necessary. The other option would be to take the bus up if we get nailed. 2wd will almost always get you to the bus stop at the bottom of the canyon. Personally? The few extra bucks are worth it. The few thousand extra I pay for a 4wd truck is justified the first time I push the button and don't have to get out and dig or push. But budget is a consideration. If it takes 2wd to be able to afford the trip, it's doable. Look me up when it gets close. We'll go have a warm one. pigo How reliable are the busses for getting up the Cottonwoods in bad weather? I'm going to be out there about the same time Mar 7-12. there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel we're staying at in Midvale. The cars, Pontiac Sunfires, we rented last year barely made it up there on sunny days. Mike - and I don't care what Scott says about you. ;^) |

The cars, Pontiac Sunfires, we rented last year barely made it up there on sunny days. I don't use them but my sense is that if traffic is going they are going. They might get crowded in those conditions. As far as the sunbird goes, you probably just had to peddle faster. Cooking in and taking your lunch could make up the difference in a car rental. So it really depends on your priorities and budget. I would get here and scrounge for any way to get up. Beyond that, if it's one more months payment on the credit card, or bringing a sandwich (that's probably worth $100/wk at least) that's a personal decision that you have to make. Mike - and I don't care what Scott says about you. ;^) Nah. Who does? Since he knows where I live and I suspect he is closing in on where I work, I have to consider that. But, I have! It almost would be a welcome hassle because he *has* stepped up to the line but not all the way over it. We're waiting. The only fret is when and where he "goes postal". Too bad that political correctness has taken us to a point that ignores public safety. See you in March! pigo |
