   I was going to make some sarcastic remark about how nice it is living 
   living in Florida and all but I realized that would be cruel.

   I am _so_ glad that I don't live near finerty.

Launce (launce@apollo.med.utah.edu) and I stepped out of the Snowbird
tram at 10:00 a.m. yesterday.  It was clear and cold, and the air
sparkled with the crystals of fresh snow being swirled around
11,000-foot Hidden Peak.  We quickly fastened our powder straps, and
headed off the exposed mountain top.

Rounding the Mid-Cirque traverse, we decided to drop into an untracked
chute near tower 2.  The surface appeared mottled from an avalanche
earlier that morning.  My heart leapt into my throat from the
acceleration as I turned my skis along the fall line.  At each turn, I
sunk to my elbows in the snow.  White clouds blasted up from my ski
tips, stinging my cheeks and covering my sunglasses.  I skied the last
half of the chute totally blind.

Finerty suffered so that I might ski.
