Right, I had that with me. To do the repair I would need to clean the entire area (a very large one at that) and re-wax the surrounding area. I had nothing to reapply the wax.

No snow in the forecast--booooo. :(

None of my days have been bad. They would be so much better though with some fresh powder. :)
