Note
At last, another stint of yowsa! was indicated, and performed. I enhanced my performance by running "Revolution" (the single version) through my head, which led to some surprisingly frenetic yowsa! action. In almost no time at all, the sidewalks were clear once again.
New snow at last, breaking the Drought of the First (nearly) Two Weeks of December 1015, a snow drought that probably will not go down in history. The trails were rolled by the time I went up, and skiing was quite nice with the new snow. I know elite ski racers probably love it when trail conditions are toughest, thriving on the adversity provided by extensive litter of needles, bark, pine cones, twigs, sawdust, and entire trees (very good for practicing your high speed jumping skills), but as more a "commoner" skier, I like it better when it's just snow on top of the snow--and not so much all that other stuff.
