Hi folks,

I was up at the Snow Bowl today with the kids for some dryland training 
with the ski club. Ha! Dry land training; yeah, right. The land was 
soaked, the rivers were swollen, and it was raining hard, but the kids 
got in a spirited soccer game, followed by a good hike up the Allen to 
the top of the mountain. There's a new trail that's been cut that 
connects the flat part of Ross to near the midstation on Allen. I didn't 
get to see it myself, but the kids report that it was really steep. 
Should be fun, unless they've gone and messed up the nice woods shot in 
there.

I hung out in the ski club cabin with the dry parents, cleaning up after 
the squirrels and rearranging the furniture. People brought gear to 
swap, and the feeling of standing in a ski cabin surrounded by ski gear, 
and talking skiing, was enough to start the mental countdown going. The 
seasonal gears have shifted. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the 
clouds to start making the right kind of precipitation.
