Top excuse for missing your opener: Gator around one ball

Our former commodore Sue S. forwarded this one along in '05 and it was such an innarestin' item it deserves preservation here in the "We'd rather be skiin' " Web Log:

"Don't want to ski there!
 
This was taken by a news helicopter flying over Lake George,  Ocala FL. That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth! Are you ready to go skiing on Lake George?! If you ski at the west end of the lake -- try not to fall."

Go Nomad.com publishes ill-fated Taos piece...

When we last left off, Kevin H. wanted to know if anyone was up for skiing, as it was snowing and raining buckets around these parts.

TWD, announced an injury of Jan. 18 and suspected being "out 3 weeks to 2 months after tearing a calf muscle in Taos Ski Valley." 

We're going on five weeks now, and while the air cast and wrapping has largely been put aside, it is not a sound proposition yet, as range of motion is still not restored whilst nagging pain persists.

Well, also today, the travel site GoNomad.com published the piece TWD was working on while injured in the line of duty.  The topic was snowboards being allowed March 19 for the very first time.

Check it out, and the MLP video at the bottom as well on the home page, and, under the heading Taos Ski Valley Opens Up For Snowboards.

And yes, you can still just call me "Gimp"
