Went skiing after giving a seminar on Unix to CSUS.
Anyone in the 209 area code willing to poll a new uucp site?

Sierra Summit, [formerly China Peak] E of Fresno
Weather conditions: clear, some wind on ridges, temps: evenings in 20s
day time in low 40s.
Snow conditions: 3 ft base, 6 inches new from Wednesday.
Current conditions, surface hoar and wind crust in certain exposures, sugar
underneath
Wax for X-C: purple stick glider, red kicker; solid red if you are climbing
up any hills
Downhill wait: 10 minutes max on worst lines.

Went skiing at 1am - 4 am in the moon light [forgot my headlamp]. Really nice
skiing.  It occured to me that I should try my headlamp with a red filter
like astronomers.  The white light spoils the eyes for seeing snow crystals
glistening in the moon.

Leading a trip to Squaw Valley next weekend for someone.  I will attempt to
ski to the Bradley Hut one day as well as downhill and X-C.
