overdue

been a bit too long between posts, but such is life in Breckenridge around the Holidays. we are very busy, and now we're under the grips of a major winter storm. DIA is closed, I-70 out on the eastern plains is closed. They're saying 24-36" in the northern foothills, which is pretty much where Bill and Mary live. Maybe 12-18" here in Breck, since this southern/upslope storm is favoring the foothills. As much as we need the snow in time for our Holiday rush, it has been a real pain in our ass here at work. We have some guests who are scheduled to depart today, but of course their flights are cancelled. They wonder why they need to leave today if the people scheduled to come into the same property today might not be able to get here. Well, for operational reasons, we have to assume that all check-ins might show up today. Most guests are understandably just a bit stressed and not sure of the best course of action. It's not like we're rolling in the dough for a few extra nights here or there. Believe me, we'd love nothing more than to have the roads and airports open and people leaving on time.

The true off-season is awesome now. Not even a remote itch to ride a bike now. And I don't think I will want to ride until at least late January.
