Halle’s Smooooth Words o’ Wisdom

We don’t typically see hoarfrost around here.

Nonetheless the sky is puking snow and the skiing is fantastic.

Santa was good to me this year. Look what I got: You can get one too or download mp3s here.  

Scott Rice and I were treated to a buncha new snow at the Bowl this afternoon. There was plenty of untracked in the upper bowl.

The man says… 

I think I see a big ‘ol grin there somewhere…

Happy holidays.  

City of Angels style road rage carnage comes to Oregon. Are we surprised? Not really. Saddened? Most definitely.  

I have an 80 gig hard drive full of mostly live soundboard recordings I’ve collected over the years. I stumbled upon and opened the wingless.txt file this morning to discover an album I never knew I had:

Nelcote, FR 7/12/71-10/23/71, Mobile Unit**Philadelphia, PA 7/20/72#Philadelphia, PA 7/21/72#n/a - STUSB

Whoa nelly it’s good! I found out later this comprises Exile On Main Street outtakes.

Today was my first tour this season. It was also a reminder that there are some large trees left in Oregon. It was a surprisingly good day. Blake and I met at the church at six. I forgot my poles in the bed of my pickup though lucked out with a slopeside rental shop open at 7:30am and a cool Meadows employee who hooked me up with light rentals. Managed to graze only two rocks and bounce off several buried tree parts without core damage. Whew.  To cap off this surprisingly good day my forgotten poles were untouched.

The snow is piling up. Let’s hope it stays awhile and we avoid catastrophic melts.
