M.... what a great suggestion to tent my steak. Did that yesterday and enjoyed one of the best steaks I've ever fixed. I couldn't get outside because of the huge snow drift on my deck, so I used my George Foreman. I cooked the steak a little less than 5 minutes then tented it for 4 or 5 minutes on a hot plate out of the oven. While that was going on I heated a twice baked potato from the deli, in the microwave. A small tossed salad combined to give me a terrific meal. I will definitely be doing that again, real soon. Thank you, nice lady!

Skyline and Tye Mill were my favorite lifts. My daughter got both of her concussions in falls coming down from Tye Mill. <ouch> I fear my skiing days are over. I just don't enjoy it enough at this point to go to the expense and effort of getting out there.

When I was skiing, I always used a cable lock to lock up my skis (or I'd use the ski-check area). Thieves on the prowl for gear at ski resort Story Published: Dec 31, 2006 at 5:25 PM PST Story Updated: Dec 31, 2006 at 6:27 PM PST By Mark Miller Watch the video SNOQUALMIE PASS - At least eight people reported their snowboards stolen at the Summit at Snoqualmie on Saturday night, as thieves took advantage of a busy weekend on the ski slopes. Theft victim Matt Bermani says he left a $900 snowboard in the snow outside the lodge while he and his family got some thing to eat. "I looked over and...my board's gone," he said. "The immediate feelings are anxiety, extreme anger, rage, frustration." Holiday weekends draw huge numbers of skiers and boarders along with their expensive equipment, to the mountain. And the vast majority of skiers and boarders do not secure their equipment at the Summit. They leave boards and skis unattended in the snow or in ski stands provided by the resort. Some are inevitably stolen from time to time, but the Summit staff say eight snowboards in one night is still an unusually high number. "I would call it an unusual event we're looking into," said staff member Jon Petty. The Summit staff says they feel terrible when people's gears are stolen, but at the same time, says it's hard to understand why so few bother to secure their gears. "The best thing you can do is use a lock, use ski check, or one of the lockers here at the resort," said Petty. And that's just what one snowboarder Morgan Jordan began doing after he lost her gear to thieves. "It's happened to me before, I know how they feel," he said. "Because I don't want my atomic, $500 snowboard to be stolen."
