Ski Day


So I skied my 36th day of the year today.  I skied 36 days all of last year.  There is still 3 solid months of skiing left and then some.  My 35th day was Friday where I took 8 Clients Cat skiing at keystone.  10 great laps on steep empty terrain.  I feel I've done well so far for the year.

Tuesday is my 33rd Birthday.  Plan on doing some gym climbing and thinking.  Been thinking alot lately.  I'm glad I am where I am today.

Its been a while.

Well It's been a while but I mean it this time, I'm really going to try and blog more.  Life's been great.  Tomorrow will be My 35th day Skiing this year and I am Cat skiing.  Had the best powder of my life two weeks age (see https://vimeo.com/86529115 ), Ive met some great people lately and really just have been having the time of my Life.  I'll be 33 years old next week.  I got to fly home for a quick weekend to go to my Nieces 5th Birthday, and she excelled at the ski lessons I got for her this year.

My Denali trip was canceled and I got depressed.  I stopped training, I wasn't myself.  I went to a book signing for "Training for the New Alpinism" with Steve House and Scott Johnson.  The book floored me.  A great manual for the endurance athlete.  I learned so much in the one night and half a day it took me to read it.  It is by far the Best book on the subject and a great kind of sequel to Mark Twights book.  I spoke with Scott and talked over some questions I had and I have redesigned a new training plan.  I will train until September when I climb something, likely solo at this point.  Kilimanjaro is on top of my list right now.  I am rejuvenated.  I am so excited to get back into training I cannot describe it.

So I buy breakfast on my way to skiing every day I go.  Today I decided to make my own I can microwave.  So I took a hint from my roommate Jeremy and I made them as healthy as I could.
