Happy 2004 everyone! First post of the year…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jumped onto a plane last night after work heading for Salt Lake City – since I will be working there next week, I figure that I should bring my snowboard with me and spend the weekend visiting Snowbird <\/a>– and see what it is like breathing air at 11000 ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, an observation – have you ever visited a resort-city airport, and had to wait alongside others at the ski\/snowboard pickup area? Last night I was waiting with 30-40 other people, all eagerly waiting for our gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gate opened, and as the cold air poured into the airport terminal, I saw the weather outside – snowflakes slowly pouring down from the sky, dividing the fog-lamp-lit area outside of the <\/u><\/strong>airport (how in the world did we manage to land in dense fog condition anyway?) and the flourscent-light-lit area inside the terminal<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly a man appears outside, dressed in a thick red coat – it can’t be – it isn’t – but it sure looked like… Santa Claus<\/strong>. The way we were all surrounding the door, it sure felt like Christmas again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all got excited as the Northwest baggage agent (Santa Claus in disguise) gave us our snowboard\/skis (presents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… Oh yeah – with 106″ of base snow<\/u><\/em><\/strong>, tomorrow should be quite a fun day – some of my friends will be jealous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
