And now Dirk Collins is out on this big, tractor, auger…they have lots of big equipment, a Tucker AsnowCat with a plow in front of it, in 24-hour shifts trying to plow the six inches to foot-and-half snow drifts off the blue ice runway which needs to be plowed off before we can fly out of here, but we're going to go skiing first. We're eating real good...who said the British can't cook, not me, the food is really good. They got some great cooks here. The Greek team gave a heartfelt talk tonight, talking about their country and revealed the fact that Greece is the most wild part of Europe left. They have bears and wolves and no place in Europe has bears and wolves. There are only about 30 hard core climbers in Greece out of about 10,000 other backpacker types and out of a population of millions. They have a lot of mountains in Greece and it was just a really nice talk, they're a great team. The night before that, holy cow, that's the secret weapon. We're going to do a special magazine article on, I'll give you one hint, his name is Alain, and he's from Belgium and he is... hmmm, three-word definition...secret weapon, he's our secret weapon. He is the secret weapon of the future and we're going to talk more about that later...
