To most people rivalry week was week two ofthe season when we went up to Moscow and played the Vandals. That was a good game, but the real rivalry is this week. On ESPN for the third year in the row we meet up with the Bulldogs of Fresno State. This game could potentially decide who will win the WAC championship. A little bit of history 0 n this rivalry: in 2001 Fresno State was ranked 8lh in the nation. It was BSU's first year in the WAC and we were nobody as far as they were concerned. Just a regular team. We went down ,to Fresno and just ruined their :perfect season, beating them at home, on ESPN 35 -30. : Last year they came up to .;Boise looking for redemption :and revenge: All that spouting- :off and negative feelings led to :their returning home disap- :pointed after losing 67-21 once :again on ESPN. : Fresno State is riding a little ;bit of momentum after beating :San Jose State 41-7 last week- :end. They are feeling pret- :ty good and pretty confident :coming off of that win. Keep :in mind we put up 77 points :against San Jose. So I hope for -their sake that they have an- .-other source of motivation. In the Fresno Bee, the local :newspaper in Bulldog country, :a lot of the players talked about :how anxious they were for this :game.

Youcan feel it as you walk outside. It's in the air, building and Strengthening, the anticipation of coming snow storms. Old Man Winter has Idaho in his sights at last, or at least we can hope. I must admit that I live for winter. I can never get enough of it. When it's not winter and I'm dripping from the 110 degree weather, it's in my thoughts. When it's fall and I'm sitting through yet another class I'm possessed by winter's relative proximity. I live for winter . . So when the Editor-in-Chief of The Arbiter asked me if I would like to help with this year's Winter Rec Guide I jumped at the chance. I thought what better way to satisfy my anticipation with the coming of winter than by working on a map to all that it entails? I am not alone in my anticipation. Over the next few weeks a new species of college student will begin to emerge. Look for students with blank stares uttering something about steep lines, deep pow- der and big air. Over the next few weeks the Winternut will begin to emerge from its hibernation in anticipation of fresh snows. On a more serious note, enclosed are a few examples of the many . winter recreation opportunities available in this isolated corner of , the world we call Idaho. Idaho is blessed with an abundance of outdoor, year-around, rec- reation opportunitfes, and winter is no exception. From world-class ski areas to the anundance of remote winter backcountry available in the heart of the Rockies, Idaho is blessed with copious of winter spoil. Head to the north; from there the opportu- nities for winter fun are only limited to the imagination. With that in mind I would like to thank you for reading this year's Winter Rec Guide and wish you many powder days to come. Enjoy.
