S–t sometimes happens with air travel — and sometimes on the slopes. YouTube sees all!
I’ve been skiing Aspen/Snowmass with friends from east (New Jersey) and west (Australia) this week, and I’m glad that I live within driving distance. Steve was flying back to New Jersey on Wednesday. United canceled his Aspen-Denver flight (too much wind for the aircraft scheduled for this route or too low a load factor?) and re-routed him to Newark Airport via Los Angeles. I suspect he took it in resignation but good grace. Jim, Dee and Greg are scheduled to fly Aspen-Denver-Newark tomorrow. A big storm is bearing down on the Colorado Rockies. They were considering renting a car, but I suggested they ride back to Boulder with me today so that at least they’ll be on the appropriate side of the Continental Divide. If the Aussies can’t make it out tomorrow, I suspect they will also take it in their stride.
