Bruce Laidlaw, intrepid weatherman and super-groomer, writes:  Finally seeing some winter sunsets.  Ski trails are in great shape except where someone walked along them with snow shoes.  Wait, wait—Bruce, did you not say “What we really need is more skiers and walkers so that snowmobiles will be discouraged from coming into the park and wrecking […]
