"As this great new year of 2023 begins let it be a year of rewarding yourselves, even if it's a small reward, whenever you make a breakthrough with a goal or a dream that you have. Take great care of yourselves this year and don't be afraid to try that one thing or those things that you've wanted to try out for a long while." 

Happy New Years! Hopefully you had a great 2023 and treated yourselves a bit. Here's to a great and blessed 2024.

Happy New Year all!  Let's hope we can pull in an area-wide solid event this upcoming weekend.  It's been far too long since we could actually track something realistic and more than a car-topper.

I put this in the medium-range thread at midnight last night, so re-posting here in Banter!!  Trading Places...still a hilarious movie!!!

Who’s everyone got in the CFP games today?  

Since I have some family members who went to Michigan (and I was one of about 3 people in my HS in Ohio who rooted for them in the UM/OSU game each year!!)...GO BLUE!!! :D  I'd kinda like to see a UM-Wash final, or at least any final without 'Bama in it (always have been "ABB"...Anybody But 'Bama!!).

Anyone think that if the winner of the CFP is one of the teams with a loss, that there'd be a TON of "unofficial" discussion about whether UGA should actually be #1?  I say this as NO fan of UGA, but consider this:  Georgia had that insane win vs. FSU in the Orange Bowl (albeit against an essentially 3rd string Noles team) and they lost by just 3 points in their conference championship to Alabama.  Other than the Alabama game, they were dominant this season, really.  Regardless, it certainly makes next year's expanded playoff all the more welcoming!

Just got back on Saturday from a few days at Wisp. I’d say about half the runs were open with the base eroding quickly after that big rainer last week. Good to see they’re snowing lightly now and should continue to do so over the next day or so…and I imagine they’ll be in pretty good shape come the end of next week.

Thanks! Was just looking at their website. Looks like 10/33 trails open today.

Webcam shows it snowing currently. 

We're heading there the last weekend of the month.

My kiddos just started skiing last year and loved it. 

Was hoping to take them somewhere locally before our weekend at wisp. Hopefully in the next week the local places can get open.

Rooting for a UM-Wash final too!  Go blue!

My girls skied for the first time last week. Little one (6) really liked it and the older one (10) liked it OK enough :lol:. We had a blast overall though.

Last week of January should be fantastic up there. I’m jealous!

My son is 9 and my Daughter is 13. We went to Liberty twice last year. The first time they took a lesson. Spent an entire Saturday there. They loved it.

Then went back for a night ski right before they shut down for the season.

My son scares the crap out of me. Just flies down. No fear.   My daughter takes a more measured approach.  :lol:
