While on the chair, heard one bro call out to another below "just call me Cliff Huckstable" - didn't see the drop (giving him the benefit of the doubt). Got a good chuckle in any event.a guy named "Cliff"

You mean “like a Lorelei.”There was a different "Cliff" in my ski week group. Maybe Taos attracts them, calls to them like a Siren.
Ah! Didn't know what that was... had to look it up.You mean “like a Lorelei.”
Luring you onto the rocks. Hmmmm....You mean “like a Lorelei.”
Guess you weren’t paying attention. Rick B. explained when we stopped mid-run, on Lorelei, a bit after the refrozen South facing bumps. We reached a point among trees where you look into a roped off shallow bowl and the cliff below is obscured. Ernie Blake named that run accordingly. I love the feeling in there. Awareness of the rest of the mountain slips away.Ah! Didn't know what that was... had to look it up.
And retention of what your instructor is telling you apparently slips away too.Awareness of the rest of the mountain slips away.
I spent about three extra hours in the airport, and had to change my connection in Dallas to a later flight getting home about midnight... but I too got my bags!Got the impression the ABQ airport was surprised by the wet snow yesterday afternoon. Lots of flight changes - I was re-routed through Vegas; amazingly my bags made it!
21 skiing days in a row with no injuries
Well, they’re kind of brand-new 30 year old boots. He’s been hoarding.IN THIRTY-YEAR-OLD BOOTS
To be fair, last Wednesday when only the bunny hill lift was open, I couldn't get him to go to last chair. We stopped at 3:30 when the chair closed at 4:00. So he took an ENTIRE half-hour off... slacker.And it’s not like he skis a half day, ever. Nope, 21 days of being ready when the lift starts and skiing until last chair.
i lost 8 pounds during the trip. If only I hadn't skipped that half hour, maybe it could have been 10!So he took and ENTIRE half-hour off... slacker.
I mean, I think that's actually the reason, not an obstacle. I can't even wear modern boots a full day anymore, much less ski all day in them. Bring back the rear entry!IN THIRTY-YEAR-OLD BOOTS
