Skiing on July 4th

This should really be titled "wish I was there". A former Gore skier who has retired to Reno, NV ( not sure he's a hooker or stripper now) plans to ski on the 4th. Here's a good article from the WSJ

I didn't quite make July 4th by two days, but still skiing to be had here in the northeast today:

Just need to figure out if I can make it happen again next weekend as there will surely still be skiable snow left.

Some great pics and flavor in that TR River, thanks for posting.
