    Running low on Winter Gear

    s My 210 Elans still go pretty fast (in a straight line). Once a year I pull 'em out of storage, wax them up, and scare the bejeezus out of myself.

    a great climb. I've summitted 3 times, most recently September 2019. Can't go now due to international border restrictions, but will return when able. Hard on the body due to my advancing decrepitude :D

    Are Peakbagging lists about to change again?

    Except for Everest. It's growing at about 0.2 inches per year, possibly enough to offset sea level rise.

    Re-Openings

    Yes. Hoping to book a stay at Cape Breton Highlands NP in latter part of July. Doesn't sound like I'll be able to visit the Whites very soon, so might as well play at home.
