when there's a lot of it, that's true.

i grew up in NC, so i know how it is.  and believe it or not we get ice 
out here too...  either way the stuff is sometimes near impossible to 
drive in, but there's definitely some common sense moves that you can 
adhere to that a lot of people (Coloradans too) don't seem to pay 
attention to.  biggest fact of the matter is that NC is never ready to 
handle the snow/ice.

and, all are welcome.  I've got an extra room with a bed and 4 very 
comfy couches.  Plus some of the best microbrews you can find ;-)  
(with good water comes good beer).

Haven't seen a whole lot of the fluffy stuff at the resorts this year.  
had a couple good powder days, but most of the untracked is in the back 
country...  but if you can handle it, i can take you there too.  And 
i'm always up for some fast laps on groomers.  who wants to race?  ;-)

damn this is making me antsy.  i shouldn't have come into work today :)
