Fun at an abandoned ski area

[IDAHDOO]

Two feet of pow and NOT another track on the mtn.

Here is a Motionbased map player of a buddy and I at our newly abandoned ski area. Slow it down to 2x and click play.
Click satellite and zoom in you can see each line better cause they over lap zoomed out. The map moves its self.
Its cool to stop and start to see speed on the climbs/downhill's.

That program is cool. If it recorded RPM and Temps it would be perfect!!

This was going to be my comeback year...but i couldn't score a spot (although I think i got carpal tunnel from hitting refresh a BILLION times) which led to me severely falling off my training cycle. Running 4 miles to L13 for beers and then getting a ride home only succeeded in elevating my alcohol tolerance.

Good luck. Have a shot for me at the top.

Ridge cabin is probably done until we can get up there on bikes. We saw a lot of dirt last weekend, tons of it up above to the east, not that there is any good riding up that way... The backside is what we planed on. Should be a fun weeekday ride.

BTW, We will check out the canyon for you on bikes tomorrow and make sure it is passable. We're going to see how the ridge looks between RC & 8th. I'll snap a pic or two...

Forgot to ask - how'd you do?

4 minutes S L O W E R than last year I trained a lot harder this year.
I was 4 minutes slower to summit and kicked it really hard off the top.
Bout mile 11.5 I felt like I had been tasered in both calfs ! Stuck on my tippy toes and couldn't get back down. I had to throw myself to the ground and stretch. Had to run on my heels the rest of the way.
My wife beat me by eleven minutes ! Im getting better she beat me by twelve last year ! Women can dig deep ! Great weather and GREAT after party in the hot tub !
