  • BOSS

    I love the show and enjoyed the BOSS conversation. Back in his day, Glenn Plake would have certainly made a run at the BOSS title! Also, I didn’t totally agree with your take on not opening on Thanksgiving. As soon as we can ski, I want to be out there.

    This may be because I’m predominately an east coast skier.
