You're at Timberline right? Were you able to ski all the way to the lodge? Was the Palmer chair even open?

Tom- How long are you guys going to be in HR? I should've come down this weekend. I might have a 3 or 4 day weekend coming up next week, you'll probably be long gone though. Are you going back to Cham this winter?
