Amusingly appropriate typo

[Carol]

I came across a typo that I thought was amusing yet oddly apropos this
morning while I was wondering about the snow level in Flagstaff. For
those who aren't familiar with Flagstaff, the town I grew up in but
haven't lived in since I was in my early twenties, it's a smallish
city at the foot of the San Francisco Peaks in Northern Arizona in
Ponderosa Pine country (not at all what most people think of when they
picture Arizona). The elevation is nearly 7,000 feet, which explains
why Flagstaff gets lots of snow. (Tucson, in contrast, is about 2,500
and all we're getting is a misty rain though the Catalina Mountains
are swathed in clouds, so I should see snow on them when the sky clears.)

Here's the sentence with the typo, from an online article in the East
Valley Tribune ("Valley" meaning Valley of the Sun, aka metropolitan
Phoenix): "As Wing Mountain opens in Flagstaff Saturday officials are
requesting that visitors stick to the appropriate slops." I guess
they're restricted to the slush on the streets rather than the
sledding, toboggan and ski slopes where the snow hasn't yet melted!

Carol, glad she's not out on the "slops"
