We were just over on Atlantic that day. Wow was it warm! I took a long nap at 13k in just a light jacket. The snow was like mid May.

Crazy season indeed. Nice write up Benners.

Presto/Prakash - shoulder feels alright, until I think about I-70, then it throbs.

Matt - Agreed, we need snow BAD.

Caleb - Was a great day for sure! What did you ski on Atlantic?

Caroline/Presto - Thanks for the kind words!

Prakash - Car wreck on I-70 in January, I got the worst of it financially, Brian got the worst of it physically. We're both doin better now though. Thanks for asking!
