Winter is here and I love it

Winter finally showed up in Boulder this past weekend as we got a nice amount of snow up at the house. With the snow brings the dusting off of the skate skis and the winer boots and the huffing and puffing of nordic skiing down at North Boulder Park and Eldora ski area. Once the snow shows up North Boulder Park turns into the official 'Get ready for the Olympics' park with people racing one another around the park. At times it certainly does feel like the gerbel on the treadmill but at least you are out in the clean cold air.

This weekend allowed for some great times out on the skis with my son as it is his first full season on his nordic skis and he seems to love it. Kids are tough to get into nordic skiing as it isnt the most 'fun' sport for a kid but with a name like Bjorn and the lung capacity of a kid, there shouldnt be much stopping him from feeling some 'nordic roots'. He had a ball this weekend and finished it off with a nice hot chocolate.

Forecast is showing more snow tonight and tomorrow, so better get some more wax on the skis and prepare for the Olympics!
