MIke -- Thanks for the correction.

Ohh, that's embarrassing.  I did the right triangle calculation backwards.  I took the root of the two legs, added them together and squared that.  Thanks for the correction -- and the bursting bubble.  3-4-5 = 9+16=25.  CRAP.

John, I'll pass on the goggles.  This is kind of interesting as I sit here in Virginia watching Lynn rack up vertical at Beaver Creek, but the woman she is attending the conference with only does groomed slopes and likes to ski them fast.  I don't think total vertical tells me much about how much fun I had or what the trees or bumps or powder was like.

But I have to admit to being impressed by the guy on the "leaderboard" that has 105 days on the snow and 4.25 million vertical feet.  I can't find a day that he hasn't been out and racked up 40-60,000 feet.
