Blackout Days

I don't care about "blackout days" because I don't have to ski on week-ends. I do feel for the rest of you that do. On the other hand I had to endure forty years of standing on lift lines before I could retire. I tend to do stuff on week-ends that "normal" people do. Normal being...

Santorum v. Kennedy

While I haven't forgotten Kennedy's involvement in the drowning of his aide Maryjoe Kopeckne (sp?) and the "stain" it made on his character, and while I don't know anything at all about Santorum, I can not believe that Santorum would lay the clerical perverts scandal at the feet of liberal...

Bush and the Press?

If screening the audience and checking party loyalty credentials worked so well during the campaign, why not make sure that the "press room" isn't stacked also? George couldn't deal with an unscripted question before he got elected President (I didn't actually consider him so much elected ...

Crash!

Looking around beyond the focus of the video I realize that there are an incredible number of people out there; many of whom probably shouldn't be skiing that level trail. This video pretty much confirms my conviction that I must stay away from K on week-ends or holiday weeks. Retirement these past ...

Poor Bronze Schlob

With or without my Bronze Pass I wouldn't be near an ASC ski area next week. I value my carcass to highly to expose it to "rubber legged skid skiers" who are out to squeeze every last minute of their very expensive annual ski vacation out of the slopes. The idea of trying to carve a nice l...

Snow Tires

What type you get depends upon the conditions you need to drive in most. For deep and or icy conditions you need something like the Blizzak WS50. Great in the deep, but a bit mushy (and fast wearing) on dry roads. If you drive a lot on cleared roads and want better dry performance, you need somethin...

FWD

Skibumptress you have me curious. What does turning up the heat in your vehicle have to do with fuel economy? For the original question: Get yourself a decent set of "real" winter tires, and your FWD will do just fine in snow. SUV's with "no season" tires are an outright hazard ...
