The interminably long pursuit of skiing the 14ers continues with a ski of Kit Carson peak, of special note for this climb and ski was the company of Bill Middlebrook of 14ers.com fame, and another board member Otina. It was cool to get out and ski with some new people so I wrote a little TR about it.

Preparing for the end of the world
Why bother preparing for the end of the world? I mean if the world's gonna end what preparations do you have to make for that. Think about it.

Plans for the 2012 ski season
- Getting the usual 4 packs to loveland, hoping to ski there a bit with the family and get Phoebe learning to ski finally, she's got all the tools just needs to commit to it.
- Continuing on the 14ers ski descent figuring on where the snow goes, still a bunch of peaks left in the grahs, the juans, and the elks. As for some trips, would love to do the Blanca\Ellingwood\Little Bear trio for memorial day, an overnighter down to sneffles is also high on the list, as would be Kit Carson from willow lake. Down further in the san juans, the chicago basin trio is always on my mind, can't wait.
- It would be nice to get out for some longer winter tours, exploring some different areas, even if not getting any real turns in, just skinning up and around in RMNP and IPW.
- Also would be nice to get some more berthoud days in this year, but we'll see, with the kids and all it's registering about 10 days on the snow with the family, and 10 days without, and it's all good!

10 things I love about linux
1. The small memory requirement, VMWare recommends 512MB for ubuntu and 2GB for Windows7.
2. sudo get apt install, if need something run it, stuff installs and boom you're up and running.
3. ruby on rails, like crack for coders, quickly prototype active record apps, especially with the scaffolding stuff.
4. The OS makes you embrace the shell.
5. It's just cooler to say "I'm using Git on Ubuntu" than I'm using "Team Foundation Server"
6. The openness of everything, want to know how something works, here's the source.
7. Connected user community with great support from the irc channels.
8. The file system organization.
9. The cool t-shirts.
10. The feeling of superiority you hold over .net developers.
