I'm hoping to ski Targee on the 26th and be at m6 that night. I'll have plenty of ale for toasting.

it was a poma lift when I started skiing there. Good of them to realize how big that climb is for beginners.

Much thanks for the great hospitality food tours etc. Good times were had despite the cancellation of skiing by the big lift companies.
