For Love of Skiing

By: In: The Sharp Edge

I Corinthians 13:1-3:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

What the h-e-double hockey sticks is a Biblical passage doing here for? Especially, when I have used the Church Lady as an epithet?

April 1 – September 30

By: In: Off Season, Skiing

I focus on Winter sports, but we all know astronomical and meteorological Winter are done. What does this mean? It means my focus will shift from skiing to other things. My writing will consist of a grab bag of topic from ski-dreaming, to biking, to gardening, to photography, to making firewood, to IT and web design, and working behind the scenes for next season.

I have set a goal for myself to maintain a 1 post/day rate.

Skiing in the Great Outdoors

By: In: The Last Ride

Fly Like a Bird!

A Soaring Bald Eagle

I count myself fortunate, I am often times non-reactive to quite a bit of wildlife. I see a bald eagle while clearing snow in my driveway and I hope it does not let a load loose into my eyes, and, at best I consider deer – venison, and at worst a potential insurance & car repair hassle.

The Wisconsin Snow Bunny and myself live in farm country in Northeast Wisconsin, about 25 miles south and a bit west of Green Bay, roughly 40-50 miles straight west of Manitowoc. We live far enough from Appleton it seems like we are in the country but not too far from its conveniences (our tax bill says we live close). Regularly we see turkeys, eagles, hawks, cranes, deer, and the whole range of farm animals.

Nordic Mountain: Grand Review

By: In: Resorts, Skiing

Nordic Mountain in Mt. Morris WI

Nordic Mountain from the base place

Recently I skied Nordic Mountain and present to you my review and opinions of the resort.

I visited Nordic Mountain on part of a bus trip organized by The Skier’s Outlet and by WVBO. Since I have never been to Nordic Mountain before I decided to go.

The trip left at about 9:40 and we arrived at Nordic around 11:00, though I was not pay real close attention. We were directed to the groups door and the attendants asked for people looking just for lift tickets and not rental gear so I went and collected my lift ticket and went to change into my gear.

Then I went skiing.

BTW, visit @snowdotcom’s website when you can. I mention this to get entered into their “swag” contest!
