Little left for the lift ticket
Gas prices putting the squeeze on the family ski vacation
|
| Publisher: New England Ski Journal |
| Date: 11/9/2004 |
| Subject: Winter sports |
| Comments: Though I'm loath to admit it, middle age responsibilities have an impact on my outdoor escapades. Take, for instance, the price of gasoline. In college, little would come between my turns and me. Today, high gas prices sometimes feel like another nail in my ski career's coffin. |

The Drive
Coming to grips with fear, the steering wheel, and icy roads
|
| Publisher: New England Ski Journal |
| Date: 11/14/2004 |
| Subject: Winter sports |
| Comments: There are few things I enjoy more than an untracked mantle of new-fallen snow on my favorite trails under a crystal winter sky. Except, maybe, the absolute relief of arriving at my slope-side accommodations after a hair-raising ride. Yes, if you're going to ski, you have to learn to respect "The Drive." |

Noah's Ride
Mountain biking means you have no excuses
|
| Publisher: Outdoor Adventure |
| Date: 6/11/2002 |
| Subject: Mountain biking |
| Comments: Let's face it - mountain bikes, by their nature, rob you of any weather-related excuse to avoid riding (lightning aside). This tale of one of my soggiest rides ever was done for Outdoor Adventure, the predecessor to Outdoor Explorer. |

Downhill all day
Ski resorts bring mountain biking full circle
|
| Publisher: Outdoor Adventure |
| Date: 7/28/2002 |
| Subject: Mountain biking |
| Comments: Admittedly, I've got mixed feelings about mountain biking at ski resorts. Chairlifts, to my mind, are simply too easy, and mountain biking requires some work to fully enjoy the rewards. That said, many resorts also feature killer trail systems, and you've got to love those slopeside accommodations. This piece, done for Outdoor Adventure magazine, highlights the best resorts for fat-tire types. |
