We really have the best of both worlds, enjoying a great ski season with mild weather down here in Denver.

We tested here three weeks ago and it was dry and sunny, about 85-degrees. The weather is supposed to clear up for tomorrow so we can put the setup on the car that we tested with. If it is wet or changing conditions we are ready for that as well. If it rains, starting from the pole will definitely be an advantage.

Off the field I thought we had a phenomenal year. With the rainy weather we had early and the struggles we had late, the fans really stuck with us. From season tickets to picnics to renting the Bat Cave to sponsorships, it was a great year.

There have been some weather problems in some very important markets around the world. First of all, we can point to the flooding in China. Secondly, we can point to cold and rainy weather in parts of Western Europe.

Ski season is here; a dance, with every turn a leap of faith.

It's been since 1986 that someone was killed (in Utah) inside ski resort boundaries on a run.
