Because of the warm weather last weekend the ski resort next to me had to close. They expect to open again mid week when they make more snow. It's been a lousy season for skiing.

It's like 14F here now...they had better have snow now!

They are making it around the clock. I can hear the snow guns if I open the door.

Funny thing is, I don't downhill ski. I like to cross country ski because it's free and a good workout. Downhill is too expensive for me and I don't want to get hurt in a fall.

I love downhill skiing. I like going fast and I find the activity really enjoyable.

I'm not too crazy about it anymore.... Something about that sudden stop. I think snowshoes are more my speed these days.

Lumberzac is going into a nyquil-induced 'comma'? LOL

My roommate had never skiied except on water until last year. If you're a good waterskiier you shouldn't have any problems snow skiing with a little instruction.

So Dub, have you considered coming down to Savage Gulf - there's gonna be about 30 TTers there.
Roam Around

I did consider doing that trip...I can't remember why I decided not too though...I think it might have to do with distance, it's close to a 9 hour drive or something...and maybe the weather?
Dub

They're completely different in one respect -----

1) Water-skiing: don't lean forward.
2) Snow-skiing: don't EVER lean backwards.

Yeah, too far to drive to be cold ;-) When it's warmer I'll do more trips.

Dub, it won't be THAT cold, just a little below freezing. I'm taking my kids with me.

(If I didn't take the kids, I'd never get to go)

Eh, call me a wimp! I refuse to go back out in cold weather until I have a good pair of winter boots. I'll go out with everything else, but I need warmer boots. My toes were ice last time.
Dub

Icy toes suck! You need some good liner socks and some nice merino wool to go over them.

I got my boots at Wal Mart. They're insulated and waterproof and cost about 40 bucks. They've held up exceptionally well. The only complaint I have is that they are a little heavy and in the summer they're a little hot, but not tooooo much. Best bang for the buck on any of my gear.
Roam Around

My liner socks suck. I have a good pair of Merino wool socks that go on top. I'm just gonna save and buy some boots with a removeable liner.

New, ligher weight boots are fairly close to the top of my list. I tried dayhiking in running shoes and it was ok, but on some rougher sections I was afraid of twisting an ankle.

Yea. I wouldn't want to use trail shoes cause I'm very clumsy and I'd fall the second I stepped onto the trail.

If you look at my Palmetto Trail Hike pictures you'll see that I was wearing Nike tennis shoes. I like low cut shoes for summer. Gonna buy a pair of Merrell Chameleon XCR low cuts this spring.

The shoes were lightweight and comfy, but offered no support and weren't worth doodley squat in muddy sections - and you know how I just HATE steppin in the MUD!!!

will do Dubster.

I'm a tax guy - Federal, state & local income/franchise tax. Mainly looking for a Director of Tax or Tax Manager position for a large corporation. I've got feelers out up around Columbus, Chicago, Philly, Providence, Dallas, Denver, San Jose, hell all over.

I don't really care where I wind up living as long as I can get to some good bping without having to take a week off, which should be pretty easy to accomplish. My main criteria is good long term opportunity and stable company. The last one I worked for went into bankruptcy and just got bought out.
