so far, so good

Best pre-Xmas season ever! Got in my 22nd day of bc skiing; nice powder turns on steep slopes. I'm pretty laid back about skiing and this year I skied once in poor snow, none in poor weather

Good on ya Andy! 

At least I can rest assured that you are getting yours.  I think about guys like you and Silas and Zap and so on and hope that I may be cut of the same cloth.  (Except of course that you guys all worked hard for many years before becoming ski bums.  I'm hoping to stumble across a short cut.)
