I have been involved in gold since its price was $20/oz in 1932.
I have visited the gnomes in Zurich and been in gold mines in South Africa and Nicaragua.

If one owns gold coins of small size for walking around money, one will never be disappointed, and there will be a continuous psychic benefit.

This is a core Stockman objection as well. The hedgies are indeed laughing all the way to the bank.

Nice to get a SPOT again. Betsy and I have been skiing at Sugar for the last couple of days. Good and cold. We will be here for a couple of weeks. The camp is good and warm if you have any interest.

Hoss, I can catch a flight from ATL and meet you later this afternoon. Cannon sounds like a great place to ski; I especially like the way they keep it family friendly and crack down on troublemakers.

The real gem at Cannon is the Tucker Brook trail. No grooming, just a twisty fun backcountry ski trail you can access off the Cannon lift or by skinning up Mittersill.
Don’t bother unless it just dumped snow, as it will probably be bumped out. But if you’re one of the first down it after a good snow, it is deep powder heaven.

P.S. Wildcat has the Wildcat Valley Run, which drops off the backside of the mountain, and in a good year goes all the way to Jackson. Kick and glide maybe required at the bottom, though.

Nice summary Wes. Did I mention that I was still peeved at Cannon.

Heading to Cannon today to ski the festooned slopes. Heard last night that they blew snow all week and conditions are ideal, now that the Mainer and the Greek have been successfully repulsed…

Tough crew. 4000 ft in 2 miles at that elevation is impressive. Seeing you all up on Moosilauke on a blustery New Years Day was impressive too. I’m not worthy!

Thanks for the returned ribbons. I’m distributing them now to the various relatives. They loved the pictures and were appreciative of the recognition.
