ORDA Opening Announcement Rant

Now that you mention it, I have been unusually chill recently. In my defense, I just got back from a week in Denver for T-Bars birthday party and trick or treating with my granddaughter. That stuff always makes me happy.

Not to worry. I'm doing my annual mandatory Florida trip next week and I'm sure I'll return in fine grumpy form.

Most likely will have the best snow as it doesn’t go to the bottom. It’s colder up there.
Ya might even see some deer and white rabbits.

Right now they plan on running the Face Lift and the Summit on Friday.
If the Summit runs then they will have the most vertical.

I'm tempted but it's a long drive. Maybe Belle Friday, Gore Saturday, Whiteface Sunday. Ambitions often exceed reality... On Monday I'll you know if just stayed home and cut firewood.
