Yesterday, finally, I got up to Stevens Pass for some skiing. But, we did something a little different this time--we left at about 1:00 in the afternoon, arriving at 3:00 for some late afternoon/early evening skiing. I was hoping the crowds when...

A couple of years ago, I started downhill skiing again. I had skied in high school (Midwest-style, in southern Wisconsin) and then went to college in Colorado where of course there was lots of great skiing. But then, I after college, I didn't go...

Skiing

A colleague finally posted some of his photos from our company ski day in February and this photo cracked me up a bit because it looks like our Operations Manager (Lynnette, in the middle) is riding up with a cup of coffee. (Her husband works for ...

Stevens Pass

I'm going on week 3 in my calf-muscle-tear recovery. I'm making progress: I don't think I'll be ready for the slopes next week, but I think I could be good to go the week after. This would have been a cold day to go up - it was in the single dig...

Calf

Yesterday, my friend Karen and I went skiing at Steven's Pass. Snow conditions were fantastic and we had a great morning skiing the front side of the mountain. On the last run before lunch, almost at the bottom of the mountain, I took an awkward ...

Looks good

I finally got up skiing yesterday, first time out this season. I expected crowds, but it was surprisingly quiet. Guess most folks were getting ready for the holiday (I'll be busy doing that today for sure!) Because Drake doesn't ski I either go ...
