Yum
First Sip: This stuff was aged for three months in Oak bourbon barrels, and claims to have “a slight bourbon presence”. That would be an understatement. You can smell the bourbon! Burly beer. Fixie, you would love this shit. Yumyumyum. Finished: Still damn good, and potent. Little drunk here… And finally, a nightcap: http://www.youtube.com/v/xk5YJkhizRs&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1Seriously, stick…

Today
Was pretty rad. 2/3 Larch was ridiculously tacky. No shots from the descent, cuz I was too busy keeping my eyelids from wrapping over the top of my helmet. I do have mixed feeling about the reroute. The old drop in to Woods Gulch was not sustainable, but was fun. The new trail kills the…

Outside
Got there this afternoon, finally. First ride on the Lenz in over two weeks. Parents visiting, bad weather, fell off the horse. The path to heaven is paved with larch needles. Efficiency and motivation cross-pollinate between different aspects of my life. Slipping in one often leads to slipping in others, and spires downwards from there.…

Ski pack
My Talon did not do so well on Monday’s outing. The side straps didn’t do so well locking them planks in place, and in addition to thwacking the backs of my legs occasionally, the edges wore a few small holes in the thin fabric. That won’t do. So, I hit up the outdoor gear…

Amurican Heros
Michelle Rhee is my hero today. And I think, tomorrow. On a whole-ly unrelated note, I did Sentinel in 28 minutes this afternoon between classes. I need to get out more. Energy feeds energy, and I’ve been creating too many excuses as of late. I would also like to address gear for a moment,…

For second time this month, I find myself wondering if “tertiarily” is a word. I’m going with yes. Homework haiku: I sit in the kitchen writing, typing, writing my skis mock me from the closet Where can I find snow, this weekend?

First tracks
St. Mary’s Peak has the highest trailhead in the Bitterroot; you start a little below 7k and end up above 9 not quite four miles later. An obvious place to go look for snow. I put on skis around 8.5k, skinning through the tress, trying to not hit too many rocks. Once above “treeline” a…

Skis
Sharpened and waxed. I plan to get out from under the homework umbrella tomorrow, head up high, and find out how much good all this damn rain has been doing us. Word.
