...people who won't stop talking about their pets. Sure, there is the occasional flash of excitement or wit - like in August, when I said that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sounded like the name of a law firm, or November when my friend Marc went golfing in a canyon - but the moments were brief, hidden among anecdotes about breakfast burritos and daytime television programs...

It will be their record-setting ninth trip down the so-called Canyon of Heroes, the skyscraper-lined stretch from the island's southern tip to City Hall.

Although there are only four lifts, these access some dramatic chutes and superb powder fields with virtually no competition for your fresh tracks. It's there that the beautiful Tara River runs through Europe's longest canyon, and there are 20 peaks over 6,500 ft.
