Working for Ramer in the early 90's changed my life. I got hooked on snow science and became more human somehow. I was the dumb blonde beta tester for the Avalert, now morphed into the BCA Tracker. (They bought the rights and design from Paul). Paul taught me to ski better by skiing behind me and making puking noises when I lost my form. And hey, I got to drive the "Ramermobile".

She's working; I'm editing stuff on Wildsnow and perusing EYT. It is prime mosquito season, so citronella candles are flickering and I'm wearing my Couloir hoodie, pointy hoop up (still in near-new condition--I covet it a bit) to keep the skeeters at bay. Great story about Paul Ramer. Thursday night nerdom: My wife and I are both sitting on the porch swing with laptops. She’s working; I’m editing stuff on Wildsnow and perusing EYT.
