- Just a moment, Sir. That "huge broken crust slabs and boot-sized death
- cookies" are part of our skiing culture in Idaho. If you pay $155 for
- the cat, you should expect some special challenges.

- I was there yesterday, and we had to deal with 0.61 metres of a mixture
- of dendritic (mostly), sector and plate, thick plate, and spatial plate
- crystalline uglies that had been created by a brief origenic activity
- the previous evening. It was so bad that the crowds stayed away.
- Closure of all (well, all but one) Idaho highways helped.

- If you want really great snow (and Beer), Utah has it all. Colorado has
- the night life...and welcomes almost everyone with open arms. New
- Mexico is so hospitable that it caters to Texans.
