The Days and Nights of Abba

Sunday, March 7th, 2010
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

Ski Road Tripping

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Back in 2005 I was a member of road trip questing for snow and family.

That was an all around good trip. The trip was out to Cañon City Colorado. The family was my cousin and the snow was found at Monarch Mountain.

Empty Chairs

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I detest them. Even at the end of the day on the more advanced terrain, when there are plenty of chairs up the hill, I prefer to ride with another person.

Getting Fired Up

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

One of the true pleasures of ski season and skiing is the fireplace that most lodges have. In addition, Wisconsin Skier Ski Headquarters also has a fireplace.

However, I give a lot more bonus points for wood fireplaces and this is what I see in most ski lodges and what we have in the Wisconsin Skier Ski Headquarters.

My Ski Hill

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

Do you own a ski hill?

I suppose the overwhelming response is NO (though I hope at least one ski resort owner is reading this site from time to time), the closest thing to ski venue ownership for myself is this website.

Car Rides

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

In order to ski you have to get to the hill. Nothing revelatory here.

Our Ski Headquarters is a three to three and a half hour trip from our residences. So we spend a fair amount of time in the vehicle on Fridays and on Sundays (and from time to time add in extended Saturday trips). The greatest thing about driving up to the Ski HQ is being together with friends and family. Our trips up usually do not take the three to three and a half hours but are usually longer.
