I was at Attitash yesterday. My God, what a horror. Probably the worst
day of skiing I've ever had in my entire life. They groom the place so brutally, so obsessively flat that they had courdoroy bullet-proof ice, everywere. Unskiable. And it did not soften up much during the day. I just gave up. But I should know, it's an American Skiing Company ski area. Dave |

No, it was so bad, that I wished I was doing something else. On the other hand, the valley you drive through on the way to Attitash is very beatiful. Dave |

The proper name is "Atticrash" ;-) (My only experience there is working in the first aid hut) If conditions were like they were yesterday, you must have been busy indeed. I don't mind icy conditions necessarily - ice is a force of nature in the Northeast. But when iciness is caused and exacerbated by deliberate human action - that's when I draw the line. I hate ASC.

A little further east was where we skied last season and where Bodie Miller will be running the ski program from now on - Bretton Woods. -- Chuck Remove "_nospam" to reply by email |

When exactly is he going to be running this ski program -- in the summers? I think he's kinda busy right now... -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::: Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, Other days you're the bug. |

I don't know if he's retiring from FIS to take on this job but the details are available on http://www.brettenwoods.com. -- Chuck Remove "_nospam" to reply by email |

The way these things work (everywhere) Bode will collect a fee. For the fee he will let his name be used in adverts, he will come around when in town and ski a training run with the local race team, ski with the boss and any well connected clients, give some advice to the coaches, and head back to Europe. If he's really cool (which I think he is, from all reports), he'll watch the local race team train and offer each kid some specific advice; and the kids will feel super and the parents will feel super. In fact, the money he collects will be well earned, because if done right Bretton Woods will pop way up in visibility to skiers which will translate to the bottom line. Why the hell is Bode mucking around with a snooty NH ski mountain more widely known as the site of historic financial conferences shaping the global economy, when he should be at his home hill: Cannon?
