You could identify where he was standing from the bottom of a ski lift while he was near the top (visually about the same size as the head of a pin). Everyone else on the mountain would just be an unidentified speck. That coat just screamed "I'm over here". I haven't seen anything else that had quite the same visibility. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Jun 10 1999 - 13:53:23 PDT
