Surveil me better

I’ve joined the travel site dopplr. It’s pretty simple. Put in trips, connect through them. Useful for the frequent flying types that I’m supposed to become soon. You can see the little badge over there on the left telling you that I’ll be in Mount Snow this weekend.

Except that it tells you West Rutland, because neither Mount Snow or West Dover are understood as places by Dopplr. I picked a town near Killington, but that seems a bit lame to me.

Vail Vacation

Finally broke down and went to the hoity-toity Vail with some fellas.

Vail is really swank, really huge. We definitely went too early in the season because the legendary back bowls are packed snow. Coming here mid February when the bowls have been filled must be incredible and I’d be willing to go back here for a trip during that season. Even though we were here in the early season we were able to get some really good soft runs in through the trees.

Also – for the future – there are real, honest cliffs here that you can jump off of. I did not, because I am not that nuts.
