I need to get out more!

(More blog entries from howie)

Note to self: more time on snow, less time in office

<div>Wouldn’t you think that someone who works at a cross country ski resort would get in about as much skiing as they could stand? That’s probably the way it should be but in a year like this it’s been hard to get out on snow. Not just from the lack of snow but because there always seems to be other things that feel more important. When Nordic Meisters began this week, I think it was my 5th time on skis this year – it makes me crazy to think about it. I’ve just come in from a great ski and that always makes me excited to be here. Not only is the skate skiing great but it’s such a beautiful day. This has been a very trying year to be in the business and a pretty miserable one to be a xc skier, but that’s all changing now and with that I need to change my ski habits and get out more. Fortunately I have all kinds of professional reasons like checking on the ski conditions, the grooming, seeing where we may need to make or move snow and chatting with the guests out on the trails. And a host of personal reasons too like the fact that if I’m not running or biking I really need to be skiing, also I’ve decided that this is a good year to work on skating and quite simply xc skiing makes me feel wonderful. So I’m hoping that by writing this little self-centered blog, I’ll remember what’s important. Hope to see you out there on the trails too. - Howie</div>

If you get out more, I will too! (Yes, that is a threat).
