Bigger, better, badder, and more user-friendly!

Ok, there has been a slight change in our blog. First and foremost, the web address is now

http://mtsnowbowlskipatrol.blogspot.com

Next, I will be updating our photo site and will likely be dropping Flickr. The reasons for this change are that I didn't think this through all the way before I began and I had set up most of this stuff under my own email addresses. Not so good for when this gets handed off to someone else. So now our gmail, this blog, and our yet to be created photo site will all have the same log in and password for increased user-friendliness. I know this may seem confusing...bear with me and it will all work out in the end.

Wow, so much has been accomplished!

So I just sent our esteemed PD a draft version of the new website (most of it is there) and just invited him to begin posting on this blog. Now...what's next? Oh yeah, finish the website, and open up a Flickr account to begin compiling our multitude of memories for all the world to see. I hope they all think we are as cool as we think we are!

Also, here is the link to the page that I used to build my Adirondack Chairs.

Website renovation is underway!

Leigh and I have been furiously working on creating a new and improved, updated, modernized, beautiful website for our patrol. As soon as we get a bit further along and upload it to the server, we'll send an invitation around for you all to check it out. Stay tuned...

End of the Year Party

Remember we decided at the final meeting of the season that the end of the year BBQ will be held on May 8th at the Buchers. This will be a potluck so bring something to share and Neil will be providing a pig for our eating enjoyment (thanks Neil!).

There was talk of building ski chairs before the party ramps up and we become incapable of safely handling power tools so if you want to build a chair, come around 10:30. This is a BYO materials event. I will post a link to a chair building template soon...

Welcome to the Snowbowl Ski Patrol Blog

Hey there everyone, this is my first foray into the world of blogging. My hope is to create a blog as a useful resource for all of the members of the Snowbowl Ski Patrol. I'll be including stuff like current events, upcoming events, photos, announcements, breaking news, weather, avy conditions, and other time sensitive information.
