Van Ho conditions:  Thinner than Mary-Kate Olsen on a week-long crystal meth binge.

Windbriefs reports that conditions at MVH are thinner than how Mr. Rose's patience has worn with his 9th period class.  The flats were skiable... but 15 minutes on the trails were enough to cover Flatlander with an even layer of P-Tex.  It's nothing that a good 6-10" of snow wouldn't cure.   Outlook for Saturday race:  Not so good.
