Well, now I have to go to Canada on a vacation

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ve had this idea for a vacation (well, this is one idea I have). Fly to Edmonton, see the Oilers play some hockey against the Avalanche. Cruise down to Calgary, see the Avalanche play the Flames. From Calgary, go […]

If this passes, Winter Park just got a lot more popular

There is a bill in Colorado that will charge a $5 toll at the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70. This tunnel runs right through the Continental Divide and is Denver’s link to various ski towns (Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge, etc.). There is a bunch of opposition about it, but I feel that something needs to be done […]

SteepandCheap.com - Woot for skiers, but better

Woot.com is a pretty cool shopping website. They sell one item a day, and there’s usually a very limited quantity for sale. Sales begin for each item at Midnight. They also publish an RSS feed, so I can read via Bloglines Often, the item sells out before I wake up. So I check what’s up […]

Assorted computer-related ramblings

I’m also in Winter Park right now, doing a little bit of telecommuting. I think that Apple laptops, especially the new ones are absolutely fucking fantastic. I’ll probably never get a desktop again. I would also hope that they come out with the goddamn phone/iPod/Newton thing soon, with some real computer functionality. That way I […]

The Difference Between Intrawest and Vail Resorts

At Vail, when a new ski lift is purchased and built in the Summer, invariably you will have a brand new 4-person chair made by Dopplemayr or Poma. This is a very nice thing for them to do! Quads are fast. At Winter Park, however, they expand by using a 6-man chair (last season) and […]
