Goals

Do you have any for this season?  Have you written them down?  How are you going to achieve them?  What’s your plan?  Have you been working toward them at all? 

Goals are important and vital to developing a path to progress and improvement.  If you don’t know where you’re going, how can you expect to “arrive” anywhere.   Goals need to be specific, time-based, realistic and written down.

Silverton Mountain, CO

I recently came across some pics from my first trip to Silverton - awesome mountain.  Every journey out West should include a day or two at Silverton.  This place is no joke - 3,000 vertical feet of some of the most challenging terrain in the US – hike access only (they do provide Heli Service), although you get a lift from the bottom on an ancient, dinky 2-chair that looks like it’s from a black and white Warren Miller clip.  I actually felt a slight “gaper” sensation as I pulled into the parking lot and got out of my car (even after 20+ years of snow experience!).
