High Rustler!

We hit Alta again on Saturday and happend to find "High Rustler" again which is about 1/4 mile long and a 45 + degree drop. The snow was not quite as nice this year, but it still made for a couple good runs during the day.

50 MPH Winds and Still Skiing

On Saturday we were faced with some pretty amazing conditions. The wind at times was gusting at up to 50 MPH and it started snowing like crazy about noon. Mark's legs died out understandably so after having faced 24 hours of unexpected travel time so Dave and I wrapped up the day skiing in conditions you can only appreciate if you were there.

Facing the Giants

I started training this week as I want to do at a couple 1/2 marathons this spring and summer. This video is awesome because it shows how your mind can limit where you go and what you accomplish.

I started off my run this morning and wanted to stop after about a 1/2 mile...my mind was tired after the first three minutes but for some reason my body was able to squeeze out three miles without much challenge.

Probably would have been better off running blindfolded on this beautiful day.

Bring it on!

This trip almost fell by the wayside this year because of my own selfish stupidity. Thank the good lord my partners in crime where still able to make it happen at the last minute.

See you in Salt Lake and get ready for one heck of a ride!
