A fellow adventurer invited myself and a friend out for our first tour of the year. There is around 30″ of snow as of November 19th at 7000′ feet in Southern Oregon. We toured the smoother slopes of Mt Ashland before they opened. The fresh mountain air is a reset for my foggy valley brain. There is something about the crispness to it that just washes it clean.

There is something to beating the sunrise in the morning. The world looks so different, so fresh, so quiet… It might be easy for me, since mornings are my favorite time of day. Getting up while it is dark and watching the environment around me become exposed to the first light beams while out for a run, walk, ski, ride or even cup of coffee/tea on the front porch is… right. It is just right.

If you are a skier, you know about Silverton Mountain. This tiny idea to ski big mountain lines in Colorado’s know sketchy snowpack happened and happened really well. Silverton is fun. Silverton has big lines. Silverton is not crowded. It is so nice to have your prepaid ticket ready for the day you are going to ride and just enjoy it with very few others.
