Erik, my ski buddy from the Park City days, and his wife Emily were in town recently. Erik really wanted to try this packrafting thing that I’m always raving about. And you know me - I’m always up for a run-n-float!

May 4. After a week of warm rainly weather, the crust is back! Today I went up to Glen Alps to put in my effort in the World Spring Skiing Championships of the World. There were quite a few other people up there doing the same thing.

At 6 am on Saturday morning, Linda and I, and 700 other skiers, boarded the Alaska Railroad for the annual Ski Train. The train ride was a three hour trip to a place called Grandview. Grandview isn’t town - there is nothing there. It is just a remote spot in the middle of the Alaskan mountains that happens to have unreal skiing. Once in Grandview, everyone gets off the train, and skis all day.
After months of big talk, Eric, Scott, Erik, and I tackle the Bike Ride Of Death (BROD) on July 14, 2001. It was 120 miles and something like 13,000 feet of vertical. I didn’t do a write-up of this epic, because Eric Maas did one. But now I can’t find his to link to it. I’ll see if I can track it down.
In the meantime, I made mention of it on XCSkiRacer.com - scroll down to July 14.
