January 3: Well, it was another chilly day. Went to the mountain and did about 5 hours of riding. Because of recent conditions, only a few lifts were running. Consequently, the zillion people that are still in town for the holidays were concentrated on about 4 lifts. The good news is that most of them didn't arrive until after 10:30 or so. So we had about two good hours where the lift lines were short. However, the snow was fantastic. Since it has been so cold, the snow was light and easy to move. Talked with Don Bolster (an old high school friend) today. We email often, but nothing like a phone call now and then. Went grocery shopping with Kathy after I got home. Got a lot of good stuff like oranges, vegetables, etc. for good prices.....
