Another weekend, more snow... Yahoo!!!


Well another weekend and more snow on the way!!! Forecasts of 1-3 FEET of snow this weekend in the mountains and 6-10" here on the benches are making it tough to train. Though going up the hill and skiing pow all day gives the legs quite a workout. The hypoxic training of mouthfuls of snow making those sweet silent floating turns more than makes up for not running. Anyway we seem to be in a great pattern of storm, after storm, with more than 3 storms predicted this week.
Unfortunately, Ironman CDA is on the way, now just a short 24 weeks away. That means my days of skiing all day are going to shrink down to half days with some skating done afterwards. Powder days are untouchable however. So, I leave you with thoughts of snow, powder and thus far an epic ski season!!
