Tailgate Sunday was another success, thanks to all of you and Fred that hosted today. Please note, as my schedule allows, I'll continue to post here. More current info can be found at our <a href="http://www.solitudefogs.com/">facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/solitudefog">youtube</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/solitudefog">flickr</a> pages as well. I'll also keep my <a href="http://twitter.com/solitudefog">twitter</a> page alive, but it does contain other things from me as well. With all the internet social options available to us, I just don't have the time to try to keep them all up-to-date. I know that everyone prefers it one way or another, but when contributing to the group in my free time, I have to choose the options that are more popular and easy for me. For this group to get social on the "internet" we must contribute as group instead as of one. <a href="http://www.solitudefogs.com/">Facebook</a> allows us to do this, I have contributed to this blog solely since 2007 and it's time for some change. Our homepage and archives will stay here as long as it can (free). <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/solitudefog">Flickr</a> is a paid service that I and John E contribute to, so the photos will always be there. <a href="http://www.solitudefogs.com/">Facebook</a> is where we can share, post, and keep the group informed. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/solitudefog">YouTube</a> I'll post videos and slide shows to. I have registered all of our domain names to keep it easy for all, hopefully. We are all social, so let's bring it all together in the next step as technology marches on! ... and we will always ski you on the slopes ...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169200731974790936.post-43195354756108584062011-01-04T17:01:00.002-07:002011-01-04T17:03:45.367-07:00Our New Facebook PageOur new facebook "social" page is now live.

Sorry about that lack of updates the last 3 weeks. I will post some stuff in the next week or so to fill in. LDS will be upon us this Sunday. John E has been kind in keeping everyone up to date via email, in his own words:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">Hard to believe with new snow on the ground that our favorite ski area is closing this Sunday. Where did the year go??? We will be doing our new normal, at ownerships request. The Employee Appreciation Day celebration is discontinued, and instead we will be in our private corner of the world at the far end of the lot with a party for FOG's, their family, and guests, only. The party will kick off about 8-8:30 am with Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, and sweet rolls. Lunch is served about noon and includes: Kobi Beef Dogs (the best in the world), Chili, and fixins. Bring side dishes and some money for the jar so that we can pay back the expenses incurred by everyone.

Remember the George Harrison tune? Well, it was not a long time ago, but we are FAB (Fogs at Brighton). We visited Brighton via Sol-Bright and had a good time on Millicent. I even think we should make this a regular visit a few times a month. Ski over, have a brew or bite to eat at Milly Chalet and cruise back to Solitude. When you're ready just say "FAB", we'll follow you...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169200731974790936.post-28681735950017237482010-03-19T15:20:00.006-06:002010-03-19T15:30:09.229-06:00Subi the Avalanche Rescue Dog<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1tmcxpgKY7z95dbM4q5EeottHvZwrY594zbDcFnEZpIystF3CxbaZq67H64aug4WnOqrlF5Zrfmw9qYPYsLQD9pNdbMVkJGprwy4WWdcjkOLcV15jAFdXo_zdgSJzS-cFLUOXesWZa5o/s1600-h/subi.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1tmcxpgKY7z95dbM4q5EeottHvZwrY594zbDcFnEZpIystF3CxbaZq67H64aug4WnOqrlF5Zrfmw9qYPYsLQD9pNdbMVkJGprwy4WWdcjkOLcV15jAFdXo_zdgSJzS-cFLUOXesWZa5o/s200/subi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450457971546023298" border="0" /></a><br />Found this little tidbit on the Solitude Facebook page today.
