.... Hi all. I'm writing a story for Monday's paper about the big snow
dump in the Sierra, upcoming weather, etc. and am looking for Bay Area
skiers to interview. If you're interested please shoot me an email or
a call.

Thanks,

You must be kidding. If they are worth interviewing,
they are all out skiing. I'm responding from the
snow-deprived east coast.

Ha! Yeah, that is a basic problem with doing this story at this
particular time.
You don't have snow back there? I thought you had a bunch.

Depends on where you are. At Killington, we had pretty much
zilch until Thursday. Skiing on machine made snow, don't
you know. We got 6 inches on Thursday and another 6
yesterday and last night. You wouldn't believe how happy
everyone was today. Course we did add a picture perfect
day to 12 inches of new snow. Also another rarity in
the east.

The storms lately have been tracking south of us. Connecticut
has been dumped on. The storms have also been of the liquid
snow variety, which then freezes into really hard crust.
Some people call this ice. We say it ain't ice unless you
can see a fish through it. But then this year, some of that
stuff HAS been transparent.

Sigh. I'm jealous. I haven't skiied since my pre-kid days, which would
be about 15 years ago. Just talked to someone who said they were
skiing today in powder over their heads. ay!
Hope you get some good snow soon.

Glennda

Great idea! I haven't skiied in years, since before I had kids.

Can we talk on the phone for a minute? My deadline approaches.

Powder days after days ...
Thing to do is through away your taperecorder and your job and get up to
the slopes. I'd talk to you on the lifts - I bet several people would
take the time, as long as you didn't try to cut into their runs ...

At least you understand THAT little detail. I hope your editor is as
quick on the uptake.

In the meantime, you could probably scribble up an awfully funny
enterprise story about what skiiers eat when it's snowing like hell.
Most of us here are unabashed eaters with ravenous appetites and amazing
recipes.

It'd work nicely in your Food section ... if you leave out the more
bizarre ramen recipes...

Good idea! What are you cooking?
I'll never forget sitting across from a couple of French guys in the
dining room at Squaw. One of them pulled out a big old onion, sliced
it up and proceeded to eat it raw!
