Hi all - arrived back in Spokane in the wee hours of the morning on the only-slightly-delayed westbound Empire Builder after 2 good days of skiing. Yes, Ed it was at Big Mountain - the mountain and the town of Whitefish combine to make my favorite spot in the world. I'm definitely going to have to find a way to retire there! <br /> <br />First day was clear as can be, could see the peaks of Glacier Park and the entire Flathead Valley. The second day (yesterday) was snowing so there was always fresh stuff to ski through. Lots of great skiing (with one epic crash worthy of the "Wide World of Sports" - a few tender spots this morning but nothing serious, just funny stories for the lodge) and relaxing train ride on both ends. Oh, if you ever find yourself in Whitefish waiting on a train, might I recommend the Great Northern Bar and Grill for good food and drink. <br /> <br />Today I'm semi-stranded in Spokane - was supposed to drive the rest of the way to Puget Sound (when we made the reservations on the train, there were no tickets available for Everett, my normal stop). But the interstate that goes across Washington is a big icy mess and the mountain pass is supposedly a hockey rink. So, with plenty of vacation days on the books and nothing pressing to get back to at work, I called the boss and let him know it will be another day. I'm at my parets' house, so as far as "strandings" go it's not bad at all!
