He who skis Boyne during Hell Week, on only 12 runs, must expect it as it is..... Corn, boiler, dirt and overcrowded. The Dopp line is small compared to the line Wed. afternoon.. I took 2 runs, disliked the boiler plate and left. (My pass is good till this flipping, shit-hole, bastard, piss-warm, gorillia cum winter ends.) Right know is when its 'kind' of nice not being the 'regional powerhouse'. We don't have a HS and huge crowds scraping the little corn snow we have, off the ice. Boyne, best regional skiing, maybe to some, but its only a name and address to me. Sage, at least at Boyne you can watch the wave rider rip swimsuits off unexpecting 16,, no, no,no, I meant 18 year old girls.

Man - that's gotta' hurt the bottom line.
Pretty hill though. It'd be great for tubing.

Sew? Like sewing a quilt? I can agree to that, but since you used the other term, can I sue you?

You're right: sue. I can't be held legally responsible for the misspelling either. :tongue:
