Riverside

Yeah, we skated back and forth on the new grooming at Riverside.  Pretty nice
but limited.  Tomorrow we are off to Idaho for some real skiing.  My favorite
for cross country is Teton Ridge Ranch, the private ranch owned by Paul Allen
(or maybe it is his sister); Allen started Microsoft with Bill Gates and he owns
our local (bankrupt) telecom company--Charter Communications.  Anyway TRR is  professionally groomed every day and is wonderful and it is only locals who
know where it is and have permission to ski there.  You upscale people  can stay at the lodge for
about $700 a night (and that includes dinner!).  The other good xc skiing is
at Trail Creek at the base of Teton Pass, which is for members only and their
guests.  Hardly anybody ever skis at either of these places; I happen to know about
them because my brother has a house in Victor.  Also, I want to check
out the new gondola at Teton Village.
