More fun just to ski a ton of days and not get obsessed with the exact number as they blend with each other in a perfect cloud of white crystalline goodness. Zen?

A couple of the sailing blogs I read have installed a counter in the right column of their front page. Tillerman has a goal of 100 days of sailing this year and at the mid February had six days. “I’ve lost count of how many days I’ve skied this season…”

I was assured Louie has a good schedule and isn't just ditching. Way to get after it guys!

Don't knock typing class, I'm using those skills now! We were offered Highlands season passes for $50. Yes, for the season. My Dad did the same as a kid, he'd scour the hills for Stein and spend the day shadowing him. It really shows, he's a beautiful skier and to this day he totally out-swaggers me on a pay-to-play slope. He was just visiting and, after remembering him spraying silicon all over his polyester socks to get into his old rear-entry Hansons (sp?), I showed him how easily my Scarpas slid onto my feet. That was fun. I gotta go ski with my Dad. As a kid in the Grand Valley, my HS senior year was similarly “lightly structured.” Don’t knock typing class, I’m using those skills now!
