RE: NON ORACLE SUBJECT - Skiing USA/Canada

Walt,

N. Cal.: Ski Bald Mountain above Oroville (free). Use *very* tough ski wax and wear a good helmet, and lots of pads. :)

The problem with Tahoe is that the traffic on I80 or State 50 has gotten incredibly bad, especially weekends, mostly because of all the bay area morons. A cool place for hard core mountaineers: http://www.alpineskills.com (Old Donner Summit, next to Sugar Bowl)

In Utah (sorry to locals for mentioning it since it is supposed to be sort of a well kept secret), I heard the best "funk" place is Alta. At least a couple of years ago, people were saying Alta still had some *antique* lifts, runs that blend in with nature instead of wiping it out, completely non-corporate and "family" oriented. A very cool telemark/backcountry venue due to the intimate feel of the scenery and the "alternate" ambience. http://www.altaskiarea.com/images/7.jpg
