On President’s day I attended the sSQUINT followup conference to SQUINT 2008. sSQUINT? Never heard of it? Neither had I. But when I learned that the “s” stood for “ski” (or maybe “snowboard”) and that some of my fellow quantum informationers would be trekking to Wolf Creek Ski Area<\/a>, well I had to submit a paper. Mine paper was about mogul formation as a self-organizing system. Another paper was on the ski bum as an outcast and iconoclast. Much to our delight the weather gods gave us some beautiful blue southern Colorado sunshine. For your delight, pictures below.

\nOne quantum information theorist off the rock,
\nA second quantum information theorist off the rock,

\nThis is the arm of a daring jump off Knife Ridge,
\nYou can’t see it in that picture, but my ski is somewhere near that arm. Rental equipment cranked to the full just ain’t up to double blacks!
