come ski the methow!!


why ski to mcgrath or ski to nome, when for the same price you can hop a quick flight to seattle, meet me and drive out to winthrop, WA where there's endless skate skiing on the east side of the cascades. Just discovered this cool little mtn town... it's warm, it's sunny, there's more daylight here, you can stop by one of several awesome bakeries on your way out, or the breweries on your way back into town... maybe this is what happens when you move south - am I getting softer, or just smarter? either way, you guys should come check it out. i hear there are cabins you can skate to...

Ah, I dream of skiing places like that.

I went on my first ski of the year--classic at UAF trails--and after an hour into it, my ski partner pointed out that I had 2 totally different poles...three inches difference in height! I hadn't even noticed!
