Three Things to Celebrate
October 30th, 2009Posted in Skiing Everywhere
I can’t resist interrupting this blog’s summer vacation to mention three good things that happened yesterday.
1. Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Internet, without which blogging about skiing would be impossible.
2. I realized I escaped from the Denver airport the night before on one of the last flights before the big snowstorm there started creating havoc.
3. Because of number 2, I was able to get back on skis yesterday for the first time since last May!
Regularly scheduled blogging will resume in early December.

I heard a story on NPR last night about the 40th anniversary of the internet. Pretty cool/funny stuff!
Also, not sure if you’ve seen our new “Vert Tracker” yet? Add info about your turns yesterday to keep track of where you ski, how much uphill & how much downhill. I’m wondering how long it will take to reach 1 million feet of uphill… Each user gets their own personal graph, but we also are tracking the combined totals.
I know, I know, backcountry skiing isn’t about numbers. But I think it’s fun just to keep a record.
Hope you’re well!
