Denver Blizzard Leaves Skiers and Snowboarders Stranded with Powder Envy

If your Christmas ski or snowboard vacation was ruined by the Denver blizzard either because your flight to Denver was cancelled, or because you’re now stranded in an airport, I couldn’t feel worse.* Having been stuck in O’Hare on many occasions, I know how dreadful it is to spend hours hoping for a flight with only the steady drone of airport announcements to keep you company.
Caring person that I am, I began wondering what I could do to palliate the suffering of all the poor, stranded Snow Huggers. Like the Magi, I asked myself: “What have I to offer? Frankincense? Too smelly. Gold? Too expensive. Myrrh? Who even knows what that is?” Then, like a bolt from the blue, the answer came to me: mindless computer entertainment.
Behold, Line Rider:
Make your own slopes and enjoy high-speed sledding action, albeit virtually. It will distract you from fantasies of showers and strangling the six-year-old who’s been singing “Frere Jacques” for the past 45 minutes.
*Ha! More powder for me!
