The high today is 23. It's just too cold to do much of anything outside without hurting. Now, granted, this is only my 3rd winter season as a skydiver, but I've never seen it this bad! :evil:

We talked about heading out to Hidden Valley from 3-8 tonight...There AREN'T making snow until after they close which is a plus, but it's going to really cool off once the sun goes down! So, not sure we will bear the cold or not, but if anyone is interested post or call us on the DZ phone...

PS - back to my subject of the post.... WINTER SUCKS! Too cold to even go skiing. WOW, that's just sad!
