Why do I always seem to make a point of travelling when this stuff is happening? I missed nearly the whole winter Olympics and now I'll be away for this too.

I'd better get the Star Choice receiver fixed and crank up the DVR ...

Ready?!:lol: You should see the parking lot...its like a maze with all the tubing, trucks and buildings everywhere. The bottom of the hill (panda peak, government, the superpipe) is snowcat territory. Its all cut up and roped off. Its crazy how much activity there is around here. I'm sure they will be ready of course, but right now its a mess. Seems to be turning people off of riding at Buttermilk right now, makes my job kinda boring and slow.
