We've got Bristol Mtn. (a lousy 1000' drop) and Swain near us. Alas,
I put away my skis in the Spring of '79 and never got them back out.
Lotsa reasons for not sking any more, but I won't bore everyone to
death with them here. Sounds like good times ahead for you. Enjoy!

Hey, what about one of those ski-bikes?
