(if you want a ski report, skip a few paragraphs) <BR> <BR>It was guinea pig day on Madonna 1 today, this being the first day it being open since the big retrofit. There were a few problems, <BR>but nothing that was too annoying to me. The derailer sensor on Tower 26 was a bit loose or...

Couldn't let the foot of fresh powder just sit there, so I went to go earn <BR>my first turns today... I got a late start at about 2 and <BR>hike almost half way up.
