According to Vaildaily, the Vail Mountains will be opened on Friday, but they are still waiting for the big snow. We also had the ski season 07/08 opening expo here in Finland a couple of weeks ago, but as you probably have heard, FIS alpine skiing world cup Levi race was moved from Finland to Austria.

Jim Cooper in Vail mountains is trying out all possible “summer-like” tricks to tease the snow god. Jim hopes the snow god will punish human beings by letting it snow lots of new fresh powder. Jim is devilish with that strategy. Well, looks like Jim is running out of time. He should do something wild now. Vail will open on Friday and there is still just a little bit of snow. What makes it even worse is that the weather forecast does not provide anything better..

People in Vail mountains are getting nervous. They are trying out some weird snow dances and even woodoo things… I am glad I am not wittnessing. Jim Cooper has a problem, a dificult one. There should be snow before Friday. I hope the snow god will punish and will let it snow big time. This sounds like at my my job as my boss usually says: “Marko, here’s a problem. Do whatever you can, just do it. In time and within budget, preferably faster and for free“. Jim, keep on dancing and performing those woodoo things. It will snow one day for sure.

I am an old-school alpine skier, snowboarder and telemarker, and I love writing. Therefore I founded Homeboy. I (too) enjoy powder, mountaineering and backcountry skiing as well as photographing. Nowadays, as an old fart, I mostly ski with my kids and focus on financing their hobbies.
