Steamboat Pre-Camp

     So Once again I am wallowing in the sunshine in Steamboat, CO for a few days prior to heading to West Yellowstone for our first set of races. Even though Steamboat itself is hurting for snow, a 20 minute drive yields some phenomenal skiing..... and lung crushing altitudes. Whatever though, oxygen is for wusses.

As per the usual, Mark and I took the red eye out of Anchorage and no matter what i try, sleep just does not happen for me. So I take the advantage of sunshine in the Denver airport to go into a 'death nap".

I am never a fan of having to acclimate, but i do have to say that the plethora of sunshine does make it easier.

The Steamboat Winter Sports Club was gracious enough to let Mark and I join them in their wight room the other day. Although my head got cut off, I thought this was a cool picture of me doing some cleans.

Marks Parents got a new puppy. Ranger is 6 months old... and loves everybody and everything. Shouldn't we all be like this?

We take off for West in the morning at the cheery hour of 6am. We all know everybody loves that time of morning and cant wait to share their enthusiasm with others. Apparently the snow is still waiting till the last minute to show its face in West, so keep your fingers crossed.
