It is still early for the corn harvest, even in NJ as it seems. I was 
hoping for some corn for dinner last night at Geek Peak, but surprisingly, 
instead I got packed powder and eastern hardpack. The packed snow covered 
more of the mountain than the eastern hardpack, so it was actually more of 
a joy to ski.

Bubba was sick and the rest of our weds night gang couldn't muster up the 
energy to go out after work, except for one friend riding snowboard. She 
and I ripped it up for nearly 3 hours straight w/o a break. Having a 
chatty girlfriend to ride the lifts with really helped make those long 8-
10 minute rides go fast.

We realized that this would probably be our last wednesday of night 
skiing. I suspect that after this r@!n we are getting, they will no longer 
be running the lifts after 5pm after the weekend.

Surprisingly, there was a decent turn-out last night.

Season's Passes are on sale for next year. They went up $20 to $249. Day 
tix next season will be $54, a $5 increase. Who knows, maybe if they get 
more $ they will put in a high speed lift (wishful thinking).
