    Hey. Over 1 million vertical. WELL DONE. Glad you had a wonderful ski season. Solitude has offered much more than just skiing. Maybe in 09-10 season you will see me up Fantasy. Funny, how come NO laps in Soligully, Little Steamboat or Cabin Hill. Gotta impress with the Low-angle Loving. Anyone could ski Fantasy? Right? Thanks for making The Wasatch our second home in the winter. Love ya, Bro
