- I was going to make some sarcastic remark about how nice it is living
- living in Florida and all but I realized that would be cruel.

- I am _so_ glad that I don't live near finerty.

- Launce (launce@apollo.med.utah.edu) and I stepped out of the Snowbird
- tram at 10:00 a.m. yesterday. It was clear and cold, and the air
- sparkled with the crystals of fresh snow being swirled around
- 11,000-foot Hidden Peak. We quickly fastened our powder straps, and
- headed off the exposed mountain top.
-
- Rounding the Mid-Cirque traverse, we decided to drop into an untracked
- chute near tower 2. The surface appeared mottled from an avalanche
- earlier that morning. My heart leapt into my throat from the
- acceleration as I turned my skis along the fall line. At each turn, I
- sunk to my elbows in the snow. White clouds blasted up from my ski
- tips, stinging my cheeks and covering my sunglasses. I skied the last
- half of the chute totally blind.
-
- Finerty suffered so that I might ski.
