St. Johann WC day 1

Caitlin'S 3rd WC of the season!

Well I am back at it. We are back in Europe Day one! I had a wonderful Christmas with the family in Jackson Hole. It was well worth flying back for a week to the US even though I was Jet Lagged having family around made me forget about it. I Spent New Years on the plane with a lady from Mumbai, should never have mentioned the movie Slumdog Millionare. She wouldn’t stop talking about it. That is when the headphones went in and the ambien was ingested! Had a wonderful 9 hour sleep over the ocean and now i am here in this wonderful land!

Check it out!!

Glacier National Park

The Many Glacier section in Glacier National Park is a great place to visit for beautiful hikes and plenty of bear viewing. We saw several bears while were there even though many trails were closed due to "heavy bear activity". You should also check out Piegan Pass Trail while you are there.

Not bad for me, I have been back in the States for less than a day and I managed to get a few pics up of the most incredible adventure.

Words are tough to come up with as the entire experience was awesome, dangerous and absolutely completely exhausting. Two months of being on your toes and not dying from ice fall, bad gear, or just plain altitude.

Live the adventure......? How about getting after it and making sure there is nothing left inside of you?

More photos to come once I figure out how to rotate them and slip them in.

Summit day could not have been any better, clear skies and perfect wind. Rock and ice climbing and falling.

Plug into the jet fuel called oxygen and away you go!

Winter Surfing Far Rockaway NYC

The water was about 38 degrees, the air 23 degrees. As cold as it was, I wish I could have been out there.

Back in March the snow started melting and the skiing felt like it was the end of April. Now that April has rolled around the snow is falling and the mornings feel like January. Maybe I am just soft and the temperature is getting to my body like I am on vacation for the first time in a snowy climate, but after mentally preparing to ride my bike back in march I think I have gone soft. At the same time, the late season snow has saved our season as it was starting to look pretty grim at a few of the resorts with brown snow. Maybe it serves us right for ridding mountain bikes in March, but the storms that have blown through in the last few weeks have brought this layer of Moab dust which is causing the snow to melt at an incredible rate. However, with one remaining week at a few of the resorts in Colorado, the snow is still great considering the bass-ackwards season we have had.

So, I have given in on the good fight and put my bike away and continued to ski, which after being hurt in January has been an incredible few weeks. I have experienced some of the deepest turns in years in the last few weeks, which may be a little misfortunate because it will leave the taste of powder in my mouth for the months to come, which will inevitably leave me jonesing for more. But whatever your fix, be it powder, gravity, coffee, there comes a time that waiting for the next symbiotic dance with your chosen pleasure can be a cross between torture and mental bliss. Sometimes the waiting makes it all worth it.
