I've waxed my skis for summer storage
Of course, things could change, and it would be easy to pull them out
again, but there hasn't been anything to ski on for weeks, and the fruit trees are beginning to bloom, daffodils are out, etc. Last weekend I helped out at a 'winter' adventure race that was expected to be mostly skiable, but instead they had to ban skis just so folks wouldn't ruin their gear, and it became a running race. I skied on rock skis 5 times, i think. One day on good classics. Never found skatable conditions for nice skis. What a year. Thank goodness for road biking, which has been just fine. Normal winter in Seattle area has 8 feet on the ground now, in the mountains, and backcountry stuff still decent in May, maybe June. This year, the high trails should be in fine shape by April, instead of the normal June. Damn these weather trends. I'll just play the positives, but I missed Winter! Erik Brooks, Seattle, USA |

First, get one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...5807 849&rd=1 Next, arrange with all the neighbours on your street to be ready for the right conditions and then, turn on all the taps at once! In a few hours, you should have enough snow cover to ski back and forth the lenght of your block ; ) BarryT |
