LOL:) I've spent countless days at Sugarloaf and other mountains when i lived in Maine. Used to be on the High School Ski team. And yeah, north east is icy in comparison. One place i wish i would have gotten a chance to ski would have been Wild Cat. But i haven't head the opportunity to go back to north east. But places like Taos and Santa Fe get pretty horrible as well as this area doesn't get that much snow. Wolf Creek on the other hand is a different story, every time we would go there, always fresh snow with in the few days. And as for Durango (Purgatory), not a huge fan, way too many people. Even though i got a chance to hit few slopes around reno/ lake tahoe area, Wolf Creek remains my favorite. Ow, also, if you want your butt handed to you, check out Silverton. Some of the most amazing skiing I have ever done. But you will get your rear end handed to you unless you are in a top shape and can deal with 4000+ meters elevation.
As for computers,I used to be a database manager and data analyst when i was in the air force and at one point in time worked as a pc tech for about 3-4 years. Kinda got tired of dealing with that, and albuquerque, quit everything, enrolled in school in Reno and moved. So i'll keep PCs as one of my side skills and not my everyday job:) As for engineering, my goal is to get into alternative fuels in racing applications, but still got couple years to go and probably a masters afterwards. As it was said by some engineer "This 4 year engineering degree was the best 6 years of my life":))
