Yowza!

Hey All,
Here's the big news in my life:
Todd Lodwick, Steamboat native, has won two world championship races this week in Nordic combined! It's a bid deal because he's been to four Olympics and seven world championships before and has never won a medal. Also Billy Demong got a third!

Championship events are also going on for my skiers. Three MWSC athletes have recently won state championships in high school skiing, and there are still a few championship events to come this month.

The Colby ski team is hosting Eastern Collegiate Championships this weekend at Sugarloaf, so send some love their way too!

Sophie Speaks the Truth

Sophie you're right, I know that windy, unassuming road, and it's a bitch. You'll have to get used to the wind at Eldora, though. I don't think I've ever skied there without battling hurricane force winds...

Also, I don't know if I'm coming home in the spring. I would rather come home for a time that is not mud season. I was thinking maybe a little visit to Florida if Sam isn't too busy. Maybe Steamboat in late June/early July though?

BOULDER- THE WINDY CITY?

Dear all,

Who knew that Boulder could have such weird weather? It goes from snow to sun, 60 degrees to 10 degrees, and dead calm to THE WINDIEST DAY EVER in one day. There is one really unassuming road which drives parallel to the mountains in the flat, open plains where I have almost LOST MY LIFE due to wind pushing my car across the road into oncoming traffic. Last week I was climbing a local ski mountain on my skis when a ski patrol zoomed up on a snowmobile and warned me that winds of 90 MPH were being clocked on the mountain summit and advised me to move towards the nordic center.

So for all who want to get blown away by fun and wind- hop on a flight!

P.S- TOAST are you coming back this spring? How about not june 4-18th because I won't be here.
