Just be sure to type an "e" after the "m" .

I will keep a look out for those. What are you doing with so many mint skis -- pretty sweet!

We were kids, we had to steal P-tex from dad.

Those colorful Head bases bring back some memories. There was a couple year period when our posse had an informal contest for # of colors of p-tex. By February the bases started looking tie dyed,
Had a pair of Winter Heats that got really ugly. Green, yellow, black, and orange, put those red white and blue bases in an altered state.

I mentioned that in the ski passes thread and no one batted an eye. I'm guessing MWP, along with others in this fine thread, will be ecstatic!
LOL, I've never heard of that much snow. I wonder how long it will take them to get the roads cleared..
Just jealous really. I expect it will be another two or three years before I ski at over 10K again if ever. Let the snow be abundant for us all this season.
Smell that? Winter's coming!

I am!!! We are heading out to Breck again in a few weeks so my wife can participate in one of the many trail runs out there. I remember a few years ago she had to run in snow over Labor Day (even in town)! I made a snowman for my son by the jacuzzi at Mountain Thunder Lodge while she was running.

Thanks! I will have to see how much time we have -- we have a 1200 mile round trip drive for 1-3/4 days actually in Breck. Anxious to get in on any Labor Day ski sales.
Too bad you don't have any of those great garage sales in your neighborhood then!
