Skiing
I started skiing when I was nine years old. For the first three years, I only skied at one place: Schweitzer in Sandpoint, Idaho. Here are some of the other areas I’ve visited over the years:
- Mt. Spokane, Washington
- Breckenridge, Colorado
- Copper Mountain, Colorado
- Keystone Resort, Colorado
- Dartmouth Skiway, New Hamshire
- Lutsen Mountain, Minnesota
- Wild Mountain, Minnesota
- Trollhaugen, Wisconsin
- Welch Village, Minnesota
- Buck Hill, Minnesota
- Afton Alps, Minnesota
- Powder Ridge, Minnesota
- Spirit Mountain, Minnesota
- Giants Ridge, Minnesota
- Winter Park, Colorado
- Big Sky, Montana
I raced slalom in high school at an area in Wisconsin called Birch Park, which is now a golf course and housing development. I’m pretty old school when it comes to skiing – no snowboards – but did finally get some new shaped skis. Started nordic skiing (and snowshoeing) in 2010, but don’t do much of either these days (but still have all the gear).
