We have some snow, but it's not like last year. I did a moonlight ski
last night which was really nice butt there was a bare spot or two in
the track. Very nice night, temps in the teens, and the surface hoar was
_really_ reflecting the moonlight.

I'm hoping to head to Silverton for some skiing next week if this storm
comes through. If not I might head West and actually do a little riding.
