Overall, this winter hasn’t been anything to write home about. Persistent deep slab instabilities (reports of large, destructive avalanches have been reported daily for the last two month) have been plaguing our state’s snowpack, keeping everyone in check and making conservative terrain choices. But the good news is that there’s always some safe slopes to be ridden and always some friends to enjoy them with. Continue reading Finally Some Decent Riding!

This post is 100% about Buster; the frisbee catching, ski dog who has more endurance that we do. I finally got a real camera, and was able to get some quality shots of him over the weekend. Enjoy! Continue reading Doggie Stoke
Another Slow Start…
Well, the winter of 2012-2013 is shaping up to be yet another rough one here in CO. There’s not too much one can do about it, but take up some other activities.

So It’s Been A While…
Since my last post about my trip to Moab, I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy. It wasn’t until last week that I noticed months had gone by without an update on my site.

Between the intense summer heat, Colorado wildfires, and general feeling of 24/7 exhaustion, there has been many days where finding the motivation to run has been tough. I’ve been on the verge of quitting many times, but have managed to pull myself back together. With one month of training left, I’m still running. Bec and I have had the opportunity to check out some amazing places on our runs, so here’s a brief summary of what’s gone down since May. Continue reading So It’s Been A While…
April 20-22: Moab, UT (again) and the Beginning of Training for my First Ultra-Marathon
So after last weekend trip with LT and Moe, Bec and I took a trip to Moab ourselves to ride some mellower trails and even do a trail run.
We made it to our campsite after work around 12:30AM Saturday morning and nabbed a few hours rest before hitching a ride with Coyote Shuttle to the top of the Magnificent 7 Trail AKA Mag 7. Again, these guys were awesome. Continue reading April 20-22: Moab, UT (again) and the Beginning of Training for my First Ultra-Marathon
