Attention, attention, attention,....please let me have your attention....today Friday Dec 21 is the last 'Value Pass' day at your favorite ski area until, a very long 11 day wait, till Wednesday, January 2. This is a huge hardship for all us locals 'Value Passer's, and now all we got to do is to shovel snow. At least, a snow shovel will never break down.

Maybe , the ski areas could open up a 'Retro 1967' ski trail that's serviced by a rope tow and grooming ala '67 style, and keep it open thru Christmas vacation for the local-yokel value passer's.

Hey, anyone remember those 'We Survived the Winter of '69' bumper stickers?

How much snow was there in 1969? There was sooo much snow in the winter of 1969 that the gondola at Wildcat had to be shovelled out so the gondola cars wouldn't be rubbin on the snow. The base lodge had to be shovelled so people could get in the doors and not be walkin up on the roof. Was the Kangamangus Highway kept open that winter? I don't know....can't remember? But every Ford, Country Squire, station wagon in the state had both that vinyl wood look and a bumper sticker that says 'We Survived the Winter of '69.'

'We Survived the Winter of 07'...... as the real winter returneth to NH....believe it!
