Tales from the Hinterlands, 2021-2022

I'm here to say that now all is ok in the world. The chair most definitely abides

Twigfest, our annual backcountry ski festival is back on (Feb 5). It's the sixth annual. We couldn't do it last year due to covid (actually, unofficially it happened with just five of us shhh, keep that quiet). SBR and Tele Dave are regulars and help guide the newbies while I chat up all the purty girls. Here's a few pics, from years past, sending some good karma your way from the Great White North in the hope you will (through prayer, political or spiritual connections) send us more lake effect snow.

Good morning from the Hinterlands! Let's hope it warms up a bit for Twigfest:

It just means I can drive my Churchill tank across the river, I use the 76 mm cannon for avalanche control. No duplex drive required.

I don’t miss that. That Wyoming cold was in part what inspired my move to Arizona.

Slow but steady progress in the snow department up here. Still effing cold, though. I might actually break down and go skiing tomorrow if it warms up a bit.
