I walked into painbearer's office yesterday and what did I see, but a HUGE paper shredder!

When I say huge, I mean like the size of a small kitchen stove. It had a gaping 1.5 inch opening for paper and some very angry looking knives staring back at me from the hole.

Fresh powder and high winds today. Great fun except for the slow lifts and frequent stops. Friggin kids.

Back to reality tomorrow, hopefully accompanied by bluegrass music and beer.

sick in NH and watching the snow. reflecting on the tennants of good skiing form: body facing down fall line, weight on downhill ski. If I get into crappy snow, weight over the tips; the shovels will "float" over the bad snow. Let my legs absorb the shock. Avoid the "frozen ice death cookies."
