season is heating up even if the temperatures are not. 50 miles of wind, gravel and a good measure of climbing has me feeling ragged and sore.

That's a wrap for this year's . We smiled, laughed and challenged ourselves with steeper lines. One more season with my favorite ski buddy until he abandons me for college.

The end of ski season is far too close. I'm grateful for another great day with my son. We have one more season before he's off to college.

Sometimes it's not the drop that gets you. Sometimes it's the big hole encountered after an unexpected bump.

Fortunately this happened near the end of our day. The knee he dislocated last spring was not entirely happy.

Ski hangover today. The body is achy and sore but in kind of a good way. Fun day on the steeps playing in the powder. Unusually light, dry snow for . Good enough for a few face shots. They make me giggle.

I talked with a gentleman in his 70s just returning to skiing after a hip replacement. His surgery was on Dec. 13!!! I often hear inspirational stories riding the lift but this stands out.

It was another fantastic day . Great snow and coverage allowed us to ski all the best terrain of steeps and trees. An old college buddy joined my son and I so the stars aligned perfectly.

is frosty today. I realized I was walking an icy section of the path as I fell on my backside. I decided to the top wasn't such a great idea and turned around at the bridge.

Another back home after I strained my calf again. This is the second strain on this same calf in short order. I started to notice slight discomfort on my interval and I had just decided to cut it short before it stopped me.

I hope I've learned my lesson. I'll set my aside, let it heal, rework my plan and ease back into things more slowly. I thought it was fine ... until it wasn't.

Snow & ice in my pursuit to start . Progress is slow but steady. I felt much more confident on two feet with rather than being on two wheels.

My enthusiasm to cycle outdoors has waned in colder temperatures. 2-3 days each week seems like enough lately. Today's sunshine and tomorrow's winter storm provided motivation I needed.

@carsten Good article. I'm discovering a measure of liberation. I don't have to focus solely on . I can rediscover an old passion. I can start practices like , , and and I can suck at them. It's ok. .

(Jury is still out on this running business. I've cursed it for years. It's a very slow process.)
