That first smattering of snow early in October did not get me too interested, as early snow like that can be problematic.  Some friends of mine got some nice turns in the high grassy spots, and the snow got The Faithful thinking in the right direction, but the return to a dry pattern calmed my apprehension.  Right On Time the pattern changed, with a nice cold front moving through the Front leaving the hills once again frosted.  This time, the timing reflects a much better scenario for a good launch into the season.  More storminess is on tap for later this week, the snow guns are working to develop a head start, building up the cushion on those pesky main run reef sections.  I am feeling much better about the prospects now.  I have been experiencing some computer problems due mainly by my ignorance of some of the obscure details of data entry, so I found myself at a loss as to how to get things going again. But, now I have the lion’s share of the issues resolved, leaving only some hardware details to wrestle with.   I have been assisting The Chef in fabricating another pair of WINGS, as his flight with my pair last season really got his attention, so we set up a makeshift work area in his garage and struggled our way through the process.  The highlight was the first fire up of the Hot Wire, which was a Darwinian exercise  setting off circuit breakers, and me holding the vibrating surge of Juice as it lit the wire on fire.  Wow!!!  That would have certainly made for an interesting back page news item  ” How could they be that stupid”!!!  Needless to say I survived the experiment and we took a more Low Voltage approach to the problem, getting much more realistic results.  So I will not be the only one pushing the boundaries of intense excitement this season with funny looking silver things in his hands.  I will be making much more frequent posts as we get closer to opening, now that I have some of the computer problems ironed out.  Be patient, keep the visualizations going, and get those tools waxed.   IBBY!!!   P.S. this is posted on Nov. 1 and the post date on the site reflects problems I was having.  My Bad!!

The first installment of Essence fell in the last two days, leaving the hills looking beautiful.  The fall colors, new snow and clouds made  it fun to look around.  Some folks have been getting some turns up high, making it unofficially official as the Cycle has returned from its sojourn, bringing , as the Chef would say, “The Promise Of The Wasatch”.    I am very  excited about the season, so I hesitate to get too anxious about early snow, which can become problematic.  I tried to get some up to date shots, but the clouds were uncooperative.  I will get some soon, in the mean time I am getting ready for fun.  Soon we will be getting all of it!!!  Peace Out!!

I spent the last week bringing The Trailer down from the High Desert, after what seemed like a two week Summer.  The TRANSMISSIONS were coming in loud and clear the entire time, so I am fully downloaded with more Useless Information to mull over the Winter months.  I will be getting the antenna array aligned in the next few days to keep an eye on the Cosmic goings on, but for the next bit  I will be dialing in the pre season vibe that is beginning to build in a big way.  The fall colors at The Bird are as intense as I have ever seen, and if I had remembered my camera I would have taken a shot, but…… NO!!.  The weather forecast is talking about a shift in the pattern to a wet and persistent system to move in later in the week.  There has been much speculation about a post record setting season hitting again, and I have seen old ladies in Wendover hit two big jackpots in a row on numerous occasions.  So,  Mother Nature, pull the lever and see what comes up!!!  I am betting on GREATNESS prevailing personally, so we will see how that little visualization turns out.  To the Faithful, turn on that inner imagery now and be part of that LARGER collective imagination, which was instrumental in bringing last year’s bonanza!!!  I am doing my part. Here is shot I took from the front deck of The Trailer of a curious cloud feature, and after looking at the image I noticed a CRAFT dematerializing, which seemed to have left a cryptic message  ” SNOW POWER” on my monitor.  It took me a while to put 2+ 2 together but that was the same bunch.  Go figure!  Here are more images I have been producing as of late.  No hands have touched this, it is purely Universe driven, and you gets what you gets, and that is what makes it so darned interesting.

They're here!!

No Hands

Late Afternoon

Snow is on the way very soon, and I will keep you posted on developments as they arise..  I did not mention the light dusting a couple weeks ago, so as not to jinks it.   Be Well, Dream Hard, and I’ll Be Blasting You!!
