Say it with me... Studded snow tires.  Very good.  The roads in New York aren't the best paved around.  We know that.  The roads in Aspen are terrible.  You would think that with the amount of snow this place sees, they would have a snow-removal plan all set.  Dude, I rocked my 4-wheel drive and was still sliding all over the place.  And this was only in a few inches of snow.  Maybe 7 or so.  What am I supposed to do when there's 7 feet out?  My guess is move into a snowbank until the June thaw.  My car is white.  It'll get lost.  Yeah.  I've gotta buy some salt and toss it out my window in front of my car.  I hope no elk swerve into me.  Yahoo for snow.  Yahoo for me.  Yahoo for the overnight shift that's killing me, even though it's only been one day.  But Yahoo most of all, for the mountain that opens on Thursday.
