3/14/10 Zero

Good day to all you people of the United States of America.  I would hope I have foreign readers by now but I really don't think that could be possible yet.  If one of you readers is a foreigner please let me know. We have a saying here in the U.S. "having fun with foreigners".   If you are a foreigner and would like that explained before you get involved with the Hill House Gang then you better contact Coyle's husband.  He's probably out in the street right now hornning his horn.    Why are we called Americans anyhow?  Why aren't Brazilians or Canadians called Americans?  Why do we get to actually use the name of the America's in our title and no other country in the America's gets to use that title?  The hubris of it all I say.

Oh I forgot, this is just supposed to be a crummy little blog about the skiing up here on Killington Mountain (or should I say Broke Ass Mountain?)  It was a zero star day yesterday.  You got that right zero stars.  We tried. We should be given the gold medal for trying.  We picked up Amy and Eric at the back gondola at Killington in hopes of hitting better snow at Pico.  What a shit show that was.  Not only did they only have one run going (high winds) with only lots of nice green trails available but there was a lift line because of the special Olympics.   We then headed back to Killington and took a total of three torturous runs trying to find something decent to ski.  The last run down Super Star I thought it may be possible to die so I quit and headed for the bar.  Toooooo many yahoo's were heading  right for me.  It was like a shooting gallery and I was the target.  Just imagine very few runs open and bus loads of teenagers from New Jersey flying towards you in Jets jackets.  You get the picture.  After we hit the bar for lunch we headed over to Suicide Six to see some of the Special Olympics.  Of course, I didn't get any pictures of this cool event except for this Cat that the mountain must of purchased off of Mt. Bachelor.

It's worse today with the rain and all so we are staying home.  Alan and Bobby couldn't make it up here yesterday because of the storm on the East coast.  They tried to catch the ferry boat but it crashed into the dock because of the high seas.  That was their start to a very lovely day of sciatica and circular driving.

Until then,
Sarah
