Was at Mount Spokane in E Washington today, the last nordic trail work day of the year, and it was a good thing. Started snowing about noon, was sticking pretty well by 4:00. We have ~35K of trails, and are getting a 14' bombardier this year. It's a Washington State Sno-Park, so for $80 a year, you can jam as many people in your car as often as you can and ski all day. Quite a deal. It's the best x-c between Methow and...I don't know how far east.

Stuneberry...I think i skied at mt. spokane back in 85 before they were grooming...if i remember correctly the road to the ski area was long , straight , and steep...? I remember skiing at this funky little bootleg ski area called achilles ranch near Priest River.. The care-taker had turned the property it into a small nordic center...On the sly i think...? wet snow falling here...

Nita, it looks nice with the ornamental artsy-woodsy Billy-porn above the window. But it's just not "the same place."
Know what I mean? And did you mean http://sunsetinn-yosemitecabins.com/ ?
Hey, Nickell's one of the most repressed artists I know. If he let himself go, he'd surprise us. He's gotta make a living, though.
He's an old wooden ski guy. The tales he and Mathis got 'bout skinny skiing could fill many a night.
Is it snowing anyplace in the Park? Is Tioga gonna close? Has it closed?

Why do you torment me with pictures of skis and powder? I have spent the better part of the day trying to chew my leg off and escape from this cubicle. Why do you torment me so?
