Adventures and Misadventures in Boulder, Colorado
I took this photo while on my favorite ride to Coot Lake near the Boulder Reservoir and didn't notice the sign. LOL! Although I've ridden to the lake and the Boulder Res countless times, I hadn't taken this trail. No wonder I got so many hairy eyeballs from people walking. Oopsy. Next time I'll admire...

After my big adventure, I had to take Danny snowshoeing. Roxy raced ahead. Danny followed my lead down to the Sally Barber Road. Once we hit the mining trail, we cruised on the hard-packed snow.

In the shelter of a Quonset hut in Kootenay, British Columbia, our guide John instructed my husband Danny, myself and 8 others on the fundamentals of helicopter skiing and how to stay alive over the next three days.

A funny story about getting a do-over in meeting Louie Vito at Winter X Games.
Jason veered off the narrow path through the frozen forest while calculating the many risks involved. Fresh air cleared his aching head. “I can do it.” The snow stung his cold cheeks as he struggled to keep himself upright. Beetle ravaged Lodgepole pine branches tore at his sleeves, but he forced his way through. Darkness... Continue Reading →
