Late August float. Sunny, hot, water cold due to a mud/ice flow down the White
River into the Deschutes.

San Juan River 2009

The first river you paddle runs through the rest of your life.

It bubbles up in pools and eddies to remind you who you are.

Skiing 2009 Go Fast Maddy

Need I say more.

Skiing 2008

Skiing in 2008 meant Mt. Hood and Snowmass and Buttermilk. Notice four of us.

I'd like to...

Ski the whole day long

Listen to a birdsweet song

Soar the whole day through

Know what my grandpa knew

Tell you a rhyme

Give you a dime

Have a thai ice tea

Get a new knee

Make a new year appear

Never have a fear

Have a sparkle

Own a duck named Markel

Skiing on Mt. Hood has been good.  Sunny, springlike conditions. Hard and fast in the morning with sugar and slush later on.  Doing laps on the Magic Mile for 3 hours then home by noon.  Ski Bowl has had colder snow.  Both are great.  Getting in about 3 days a week.

No rain!!!!!  New snow coming in now and for the next few days.
