From Cosmo:
So not only did Brayton deal the mighty DC Yankee its only loss of the season last week, but he also bumped himself up 3rd seed in the fantasy playoffs. That means he and I will meet in Round 1—our 3rd and 4th weeks of competing head-to-head this season.
Lest you think I’m looking past this matchup, I’m still bitter about the tie in Week 4.
Cosmo, thank you for reminding me it’s playoff time. I will make sure to get my team in order before that sneaky Thursday game might catch me off guard. Rest assured, I’m not looking past this matchup either.

Hello Silver Star (Take 2).
· Dec 8, 08:56 PM
We’re back. And I’m excited. Very excited. After two weeks in Montana we made the two day drive across the border and I’m again settling into a condo on the Knoll at Silver Star (if it sounds fancy and resorty, that’s because it is). Yesterday’s drive (Bozeman to Spokane) was smooth sailing – 400 miles and 6 hours of I-90. Today wasn’t particularly hard, but it just didn’t go as fast. Between crossing the border (3 minutes) and shopping for food in Vernon (more than 3 minutes), it took somewhere between 7 and 8 hours to get up here, but we still made it in time for an evening ski.

This picture exaggerates the damage quite a bit. We had to break/tear the broken pieces so they would fit in the car while we took them to a dumpster. The initial break was only in two.

What a difference a week makes. When I left, we were seeing highs around 50, clear skies and snow up around 8000 feet – really, quite nice for October. Now, we’re looking at winter. There are 18 inches (and counting) up at Bachelor. “Tumalo Langlauf Club”: is getting after the grooming on Century, which means my appeals for a groomer have been answered. There’s not too much else to ask for right now. Well, “snow in West Yellowstone”: sure would be nice.

Day 2
· Nov 4, 08:48 PM
It didn’t get nearly as warm as forecasted today – we probably have the high clouds to thank for that – and the forecast is now a lot more favorable. I’m quite confident we’ll be on good skis for the rest of the week. This morning it was klister covered at Sovereign Lakes. It’s getting a little granular and greasy over there, but it’s still really good skiing. The real bonus though was this afternoon at Silver Star. Marshall and I decided to try to explore the knoll a little on the way to the mountain trails and we never made it to the mountain. The Pisten Bully and tiller were out – and the skiing was pretty good. It was a bit soft (the daytime grooming may have prevented it from setting up perfectly) and a little dirty, but otherwise pretty much perfect. With the knoll open we now have two sets of legit ski trails to train on. Hard to argue with that.
My camera battery is struggling. I’m going to try to coax a few shots out of it tomorrow.
