I Spoke too Soon!

Posted in Durango, General ramblings, Outdoor Fun on March 9, 2011 | 2 Comments »

The last post I made fearing the end of snow was premature! I posted that whiny blog entry and then headed to the Nordic Center for some end of the season skiing with sadness in my heart. As I started driving up the mountain I saw dark skies ahead and the little flakes, my friends, [...]

Hot Weather Reprieve

Posted in Outdoor Fun on July 22, 2010 | 6 Comments »

It’s been hot here, and having no air conditioning in the house doesn’t help matters. Matt and I decided to escape to the high country after work for some cooler temperatures. How awesome is this? A full day’s work, then you still have time to get above 10,000 ft for a hike in nice, cool [...]

Picked up some new snow shoes at REI. I of course couldn’t wait to try them out, so Paige was kind enough to come along for the hike. I love snow shoeing, I can’t believe it has taken me this long to get into it. I think I’d almost rather snow shoe than downhill ski…not [...]

So I took the wussy route on the bike today, right in front of the DVD player, with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson acting like goofballs in Wedding Crashers, thanks to NetFlix. Nobody wants to see pics of me riding on the trainer, so here are some more lively images… Matt riding outside in the [...]

Snow Shoeing the Sandias

Posted in Outdoor Fun on December 17, 2007 | 6 Comments »

I got to go snow shoeing for the first time with Lyn. What a blast! I was able to borrow an extra set of snow shoes from Lyn (thanks Rita!!) and otherwise, I was good to go on all the gear. We headed up to the Crest and decided to snow shoe the north Sandias. [...]
