Old Glory Hike

Mike Flood, Chris Sutherland and I took a hike up Old Glory last week with the kids from the Red Mountain Academy. Old Glory is the glorious big peak that you can see as you ski from the top of the Motherlode Chair towards Rino's Run. I am sure that once the clouds clear we will see snow on it. It was cold and rainy in Rossland yesterday.

Pre Season Training

Weekend training with athletes from The Red Mountain Academy. This was after running up the sandhill several times.

Golf Champion

You know winter is approaching when a bunch of Ski Instructors get together for a seriously fun golf tournament. The CSIA NDC "Closed Open" was held at the Quail Golf Course in Kelowna. I was teamed up with Eamon Doerty (in red shirt) and brothers Grant and Don Brown.

Thanks to Eamon's spectacular drives, the Brown brothers precision and confidence building abilities, and my ultra high handicap-WE WON!
