A fragment of SigFried Pirih's diary Last entry Febuary 9th, 1991 It is a lovely day here at the Microsoft Ski Resort, with the cheerful co-workers having fun in the snow, doing some snowboarding and of course, skiing. I've paid my entrance fee and I have a few options at hand: Free-style course Slalom course Tree slalom course Or just ski free. I'm going to just ski free and have the best fun I can, maybe go back for a slalom course. I'm at the middle of the hill now, taking a short break. Whoever manages the ski resort I'll have to have a talking to. What are they thinking, letting dogs loose? They also seem to be uncontrolled dogs which go on anything that moves. If I have to speak to Bill Gates to get the problem solved I will. I'm near the end of the hill now and what seems odd is that it is a never ending hill. I'm finding it very odd that the trees I jump over suddenly burst into flame, however managment atthe resort came chasing after me about setting trees on fire. Why they fuss over burning trees and not uncontrolled dogs I'll never know. Almost 2000m down the hill now. I think I'll go a little further, then go back up for anoter run. I warn everyone not to go more than 2000m at the Microsoft Ski Resort. Why? The Abominable Snow Monster lives there and he will eat you. I became his dinner. I had no idea he was there because the brochure only says that the resort is "The place for employees to have fun at Microsoft". I can only hope this diary will make it out intact and not ruined. I also hope that someone will find it and warn people about the dangers of the Microsoft Ski Resort.
