maybe the bird means 'third time's a charm' orignated in WW1...on the third attempt to light a smoke in the trenches the Germans would have your position...blam last puff...

3rd bullet is more or less 4 million visitors. Probably a billion pictures taken.... Few shared.

Just me whining again...



RobE - yup, saw some guy with a view camera too coming out on Monday

As always, Chick-on has trouble distinguishing between a bullet and a dash.

I was amazed at the number of photographers-with-tripods that I saw this weekend. Lots of DSLRs, and one view camera!!

Awesome pics. I guess chick-on forgot his sled?

Plan was sorta to do some glissading off the Dance floor...
But lazy butts said "no mas" after getting up there and setting up shop.
Something about "we did enough up for today".

Or maybe it was the poofy stuff...


(btw ... the summit guy that wanted to go up Clouds... we alluded to how lucky he was with the snow situation
to attempt that in a day... if he woulda tried last weekend... we woulda said... "hahahahahahahaha ... good luck!" )
