Best of winter

Just in from XC skiing at about 1400' in the hills above East Corinth. With the afternoon sun hitting a south slope I watched a group of 5 buzzards (may have been crows or ravens....I couldn't be sure) core a thermal and climb until they were specs in the sky.
Best skiing in years and a reminder of what spring will bring. Life is good!

Has it been only 104 years?

Today is the anniversary of the day the Wright brothers spoiled their best glider by putting an engine on it.

Only 120 days till our season starts.

Administrative

After a small amount of controversy and confusion, we can now summarize how this blog works:

When a news item appears on the blog, a copy of it will be sent to subscribers to "News via Email." Whether you subscribe to this auto-notification service is entirely up to you. Click here for details.

Regardless of whether you subscribe to "News via Email," you will receive club announcements by email.

Occasionally, a news item will also qualify as a club announcement. In that case, subscribers will receive two copies.

Finally, please note that any club member may post news items. Click here for further information.
