Ouch.

No part of livin far from the slopes hurts worse than the idea of always
*not* skiing on marginal days.* Never having owned a season pass (sob,
sniffle, thwurrnnnggkk), I've never had the experience of going for an
hour's ski just because you could fit it in or in spite of a
lousy-forecast-but-hey-you-never-know.  A ski day means a big driving
and a big bucks commitment. As a result, many good days get passed.

Are we feeling a bit sorry for ourself here?

Youbetcha.

Maybe it's a reaction to the Intro in Powder's (kinda lame this year;
very predictable) Photo Issue. The new Editor was talking about the Zen
of being patient with ski days. I kept thinking, yep, that's an
admirable quality, and a heck of a lot easier when your season total is
closer to triple digits than it is to single.

*Bzzzt. Insufficient thought processes. No part of livin far from the
slopes hurts worse than not skiing on powder weekdays. That "marginal
conditions" thing is a weak second.
