my son noted that it would take a lot to make mt chestnut (Galena IL) look impressive but Aspen-Snowmass managed that today with two bunny hill slopes open.
Looking on the bright side we got to figure out the buses a bit, but I really can't figure out the point of having the mountains open except to say they are open. And I can't believe the number of locals who put on their skis and boards just to say they skied. A number of them said they want to ski 100 days this year so I needed to get out. What? Why? I don't understand the desire to quantify everything and then compare (who are we kidding compete). I am not going to keep track of the number of days I ski, nor the number of vertical feet or speed or anything else. I just hope we get enough snow that I can find a blue run or two to ski with the kids (or even without).
Now about medical weed---we tried it (patches and ointment) and found no effect. Jarvis tried capsules and she also didn't seem to find any relief. I am sure it works for some (placebo maybe) but in my very small sample set it is not a miracle drug. And watch out if Jeff Sessions becomes the new AG he might just bring the Feds in to prosecute production and consumption "good people don't smoke marijuana". If I was a producer I would be up at night worrying.
