If I wanted to ride in weather like that, I'd do Mt. Washington.   B21   PS I am giving Fatty's Pista to anyone who can tell me how to type my name where it says YOUR NAME under the new format. I hit the SIGN IN button and I am apparently signed in without signing in (thus I use the expression "sign in" three...NO, FOUR times in one sentence....), but I cannot type my name in. What is it with this fashtookina format....?? Geesh! If I wanted to ride in weather like that, I’d do Mt. Washington.

Utah's loss is Spokane and Coeur d'Alene's gain.
