Lessons Learned While Hitting the Slopes

The following are lessons learned while at Winter Park, Colorado. I hope they are as useful to you as they are to me.

• Never video-tape crazy, homeless people. It only leads to police involvement.
• When snowing, always use chains on the tires. Failure to do so will result in you being stuck on a pass for several hours.
• Altitude sickness can be nasty. Very, very nasty.
• Avalanches block mountain passes and roads.
• Always wear a helmet. Failure to do so leads to a concussion.
• Texas Hold'em is a great way to bring in the New Year.
• Trees - they hurt.
• $60 buys a lot of food. Even on the ski slopes.
• Cold wind is cold.
• Be weary of the path you choose.

Rock on.
