    A gym that I belonged to about 15 years ago had one of these things, but I wasn't really skiing at the time and I never got a chance to try it.  Looks kind of fun though.

    I have boarded for a long time but decided to try a ski lesson with my wife yesterday at Blue.  It was awesome, however while I was practicing on the beginner hill I had a raccoon run at me then pass directly in front of me just as I was getting up from a fall.  It then ran towards a mom and her daughter who i yelled to and I think the mother hit it with her pole and it took off under the lift loading area.  My wife was already back at the lodge outside having a drink.   When I texted her to tell her about it she told me I was full of shit.....then the raccoon showed up there, drank a left over drink and ran inside.   It was pretty wild.  Did anyone else encounter rocky raccoon?

    Raccoons are nocturnal, sounds rabid to me..

  5. A tough season for the TLCITW men. Pre Christmas limited trails and questionable conditions. Christmas week, too many people overcrowding the same limited trails, then conditions deteriorated further, eventually causing the 3 day New Years weekend shutdown to recoup.

    Finally all last week the Covid virus struck.... Extremely fatigued, headache, off and on fever then chills, sore throat, no congested lungs or severe cough, thankfully.. Feeling better last two days.

    Hopefully the season will improve soon.

    The beer is cold anywhoo...

    I should elaborate. Straight oil....tank. it's been so cheap the past few years I had a huge credit going into this winter. I literally thought that I might get this year for free but the price per gallon went up pretty drastically so there goes that dream.

    Price per gallon at TLCITW went up exactly $1.00 this year compared to last year. An additional $440..

    speaking of collecting water, my rain collection barrel outside needs to be replaced. It cracked at the bottom and is slowly leaking. I just drained it to try and patch it but I might be in the market for another. Any idea where I can find something like that? This one I got from PSU when they rain a local sustainability clinic.

    Craigslist usually have some..
