Days are longer and the sun is warmer, but winter is still in the air.

Some lake whitefish


Snow Party! That's what the skis say.

The unblogged.
Working on a portfolio and cleaning up some disk space and came across a couple snappers that were never posted here. So for a change of pace, here's one from Stockholm and another from Santa Cruz.



keep well.

Despite the two week hiatus from skiing in mid february because of being sick and having way more 'classic' days than skate this winter, i still had a decent ski in the 50km Sleeping Giant Loppet on the weekend. Not my best time, but personally a very satisfying ski. Thoroughly spent on a beauty of a day.

Photo's are limited since i was more focused on pushin my self than pushin the shutter on the point and shoot.

The scene.

Somewhere between kilometer 25 and 35. Feeling energetic and coordinated enough to capture some action in the sun while on the move.



More info and stuff if you clicky here: Sleepy Giant Loppet

Still lot's of skiing left in the season.

Note to self: 'self, more training for next year'.


peace out

Big Chief Smoker take 1.

I received a smoker for christmas and finally got around to filling it with a load of whitefish. 12 hours later and i know what i'm taking for lunch tomorrow. Today's temperature ranged from -20C at 7A.M. to -5C. I'm guessing probably the temperature limit for this smoker, even with the insulating blanket....but maybe not.

A healthy amount of nordic these days. Other than Lutsen, my Boykin spaniel, up ahead, tearing the hell out of the dog trail, it was immaculate when i set out sunday morning. groomed to perfection.



Longer days and warmer sun, but still plenty of skiing left in the season.
Sorry for the lull in posting. Life beyond the interweb happens.

be well

Our man Danny has been over in Iceland going to school and liven the life. He's sent me a few snaps so far, all of which are amazing; but when today's email came with the subject line 'Somethin Special', he wasn't kidding. These made my day.

breath taking view at around 66 degrees northern latitude.







This Rules!
thanks Danny

Tonight's post comes amidst cups of minty-ginger-lemon tea and resting, as we have been bound to home by a week long midwinter head-cold of gross proportions. I'll spare you the details.

Lake Superior whitefish baked skin on.


Beauty batch of homemade granola...apple sauce from this past summer to sweeten. This along with a scoop of blueberries and a couple dollops of N's home yogurt, get me started in the morning. Pretty simple stuff, that tastes great.
