This morning I was setting gates for a race at Gore Mountain. I was already on the lift before the sun rose and I was able to get a great shot of the sun peering over the mountains as we set gates on Echo. Living the Adirondacks has been an incredible experience, I have had great work opportunities and living in nature has been invaluable. In a time when we face a potentially life changing environmental disaster I think it is important to enjoy things like skiing and outdoor play in the winter while it is still available to us. As the Earth begins to heat we are unsure what the outcomes might be, but until then I know that I am going to get as much time in on the slopes as possible.
