No broken bones is a good thing. Of all the things I can't do because of my knee the one I miss most is downhill skiing. Oh well.

I believe the reservoirs out there did some good filling last spring and should do so again this spring. I know Meade and some of the others out there were at historic lows so that is a good thing.

Snow Valley is one of the first ski resorts up there. Gold Mine is in Big Bear close to Snow Summit, which is where I first took you skiing.

A judge allowed disgraced investor Bernard Madoff to remain free on bail Monday, rejecting an attempt by prosecutors to send him to jail for mailing more than $1 million in jewelry to family and friends over the holidays.

The decision means Madoff will avoid having to leave the comfort of his $7 million penthouse and await trial in a cramped jail cell with nothing but bunkbeds, a sink and toilet. Madoff will remain under house arrest and under the constant watch of security guards.
