[pct-l] Sierra Snow Report...getting better

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear Reinhold


Due to my poor English ability and to my habit (I can drink but I
usually do not drink), I forgot to drink beer or soda at VVR in 2009
and 2010. So, in my case, I expect THREE beers in this summer.

> Hi gang,
> Trouble is back in town which,  like always,  is good news for the girls
> but bad news for the guys.
> Nothing new....the Sierra is still buried in snow.
> Mammoth Mountain has already received 324'' of snow this season which is
> about the average total for the whole season or about twice the average
> snow for this time of the year and the season is far from over.
> To give you an idea of how much snow we are talking about,.....Jim, from
> Vermilion, wrote  "Reinhold, I'm heading back this weekend to shovel
> roofs, not sure were we'll put it as the buildings appear to be buried.''
>
> Serves that ''LOUSE'' right!!!.....when I picked up my resupplies last
> year he called me a trouble maker and did not give me the free beer or
> soda which is customarily given to JMT & PCT thru-hikers.
> However, Vermilion is still my favorite resupply in the Sierra...they
> treat thru-hikers right...free beer, free camp site, meals loaded with
> ''horsepower'' and a store with most everything a hiker needs to
> ''hike-on''.
>
> I expect  ''TWO''  beers when I resupply at Vermilion this year!!!!!
>
> Say Switchback,
> This has been three solid weeks of high powered skiing for me and I have
> not gone down once.
> I can think of only one logical explanation.........I  AM  GETTING  BETTER.
> Some things do get better with age....take wine and whisky for instance.
>
> I  ''MUST  BE''  one of those  ''RARE  GEMS''  that get better with age.
> I am so exited about this I can't sleep,......knowing I will be better
> tomorrow than I am today!!!!!
