Powder Magazine Cover, September 2008

The ski magazines arrived the other day. I have been thinking about skiing almost every day for weeks now. You might be able to tell that I am super excited!

But before I can ski, I need to get my legs in shape. Which leads me to hiking! Fall is hiking season. The days are crisp and not too hot, the leaves are beautiful, and there aren’t many bugs. I didn’t get out that much last fall, though I did get to Katahdin, which was a blast.

So this fall, I’m committed to hiking four or five times. To help me follow through, I’m trying to start a little hiking “club” with some friends. I figure not everyone will be as into as me, but hopefully I will find a cohort or two for each hike. We’ll see how it goes!
