Spring is finally here. I rode in Boulder on Monday and it was awesome! It felt so good to get out on the bike.
As I was heading towards Left-Hand Canyon I saw a huge guy in what appeared to be "mogul pants" (pants with large knee markers that mogul skiers wear when they compete). As I got closer I realized that they were mogul pants, but not any old ones. They were the Canadian National Team pants from 2003, my last year on World Cup! Their current owner was in no condition to answer my questions, I traded him a PowerBar for his photo and was on my way.
The things you see in the city...

Tuesday AM and it was off to Squaw Valley, CA for the US National Freestyle Skiing Championships. We headed into Reno,
For some all you can eat sushi. It was really good.
We checked out some casinos and realized that my Friend Barry's description was accurate: Vegas with a cold sore. We headed up to Squaw to check in. I went out for a nordic ski. It was slushy but after eating my body weight in raw fish, it felt good to move.

They it was a quick trip to the liquor store and dinner. In CA wine is practically free. I got a really good $3 bottle of Shiraz.
Can't stay mad at the Spring!
