Not having met Jay personally, I shall not presume to judge his heart and soul. That being said, I've met quite a number of Skivittlers and they're quite the generous bunch. So I, personally, hesitate to compare Skivittlers' hearts and souls. I hope Jay has many wonderful days, too, whether at ski areas in the sidecountry, or in the backcountry. But I also hope that he leaves for others the same opportunities for exploration and discovery that he has enjoyed. Even if areas may be oft-visited, why not leave some mystery? I like Adam B.'s style: "Skin up the well- traveled hiking trail, traverse a little, and descend back to the trail." caveat lector On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 3:04 PM, William Davis <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Come on, give Jay a break.
