hey swaterfall, kailas called me the other day and told me you were not having a very good trip. that is seriously lame. and in such an awesome place to be. can't say i've been there exactly, but i feel your pain. hope your winter's going well otherwise. kailas said he was snowed in town. i would say it sucks to be stuck in a place where there's so much snow you can't ski it ... but i'm not gonna because i'm stuck in a place where there isn't enough and i think that's a much worse problem!
