Bonfire and Fireworks at Kokopelli Inn

Bonfire and Fireworks at Kokopelli Inn

Ok!.....this has got to stop!

The weather forecast was for 8 to 12 inches of powder. We got 4 inches of slop! So the locals are reacting.

Tonight, at the Kokopelli Inn on Route 4, some of us got together to hold an informal snow dance to ward off the evil spirits who have haunted us all winter. Chuck and Christine at Kokopelli hosted. Mary and I participated along with Jason and Kim, Chef Claude, Jerry, and a whole cast of others. Chuck created a ceremonial bonfire at the back of the inn, complete with fireworks. Chef Claude's dog "Bullet" took Claude out when the fireworks went off, resulting in his banishment to the car. Copious malt beverages were consumed, along with a healthy dose of corn chips, salsa and other tomato based product. Purely a pagan ritual that can only happen at a ski resort when the locals get restless for some powder.

We are not complaining too loudly, mind you, as the ground was covered white with todays wintery mix. It certainly will help build base on the mountain to aid in expanding terrain. But a little powder would would be nice! We are only asking for a foot or two. We are not greedy! Let it snow!
