Flathead Update
Thu Mar 19, 06:10 AM
I have been a bit negligent on the blog because I haven’t been able to pick up any wireless signals at the house. This hampers the internet surfing! Work is busy, so no time there either.
Recently, I ran the Snow Joke Half Marathon in Seeley Lake, which doubled my miles for the year. I could barely walk for about four days!
Addy and I have been making the most of generally crappy snow conditions at the Big Mountain. We go up out of general obligation to skiing. Even if the skiing is terrible, I go up because I blocked out four months of weekends to ski. Lately has been better though.
I made it down to Bozeman to ski Bridger Bowl with Ben Ruffatto a few weeks ago. We rode the new Schasman’s lift, hiked all over the Ridge, but then Ben took a nasty “Tele-Tumble” and went head first down a rocky chute. We cut the day short to drive to the emergency room to get his leg stitched up!
Sunday worked out as Bridger got 10” of new snow, but I skied with Allie and it was more like 20”. Probably the deepest of the year!
Tuesday nights in Whitefish are spent climbing the Big Mountain, then grabbing a bite and a beer. Anyone that wants to join us, give me a call.
The next few weeks will be spent making the most of riding the chairlifts on the weekends, as there are only three weeks left! Work has been busy enough that I haven’t been able to sneak away during the week. The recession is certainly not putting Montana Build down. We are currently very busy and have several large projects in the pipeline. I just need to survive the work week so I can meet up with Addy and play every weekend.
