Average Joes to Ski Pros
I have been snowboarding for almost ten years now, but I've always wanted to learn to ski. January happens to be national "Learn A Snow Sport Month," and while I typically try not to be a follower, I figured this was as good excuse as any.
This past weekend three friends ...
Travel Back in Time at The Ski Museum of Spokane
Many Spokane natives remember Lou Lou's - the ski shop on the outskirts of downtown. I sure do. During the winter, it's all I heard about on the radio as a kid. Lou Lou's closed in 2002, but Loulou Kneubuhler has opened up The Ski Museum of Spokane in the same building, and let me tell ...
The Slippery Rocks Of Priest Lake
I'm back! And this one's a doozy!
I'm fascinated by jumping off things - strange I know. Rocks, cliffs, trees . . . they're all fair game as long as there's water at the bottom. But this past weekend I slid, literally, into a new fascination that ...
My Weekend In Spokane
First, I want to apologize for my abnormally long absence between blogs. I am truly sorry. I know you've missed me. But wipe your tears, because I'm back with a good one.

Marmots Rule!
I am one of those lucky people that works two blocks from the Centennial Trail. It takes approximately four minutes from the door of my building to hit the trail. I try to walk the 2.5 mile loop every lunch hour I can spare. I'd like to say that it's because I'm ...

Top 10 Reasons I Love Spokane Hoopfest
Hoopfest! I'm not kidding you, every time I hear someone utter that beautiful word I want to drop into an aggressive defensive stance, jump into triple threat position and execute a flawless 360-dunk. Ok, so I'd settle for a sweet lay-in. (It's not like you can dunk ...
Running Into Relaxation
Whether because of the recent turn towards sunnier weather, or the ever-approaching Bloomsday 12K to look forward to, Spokane is sporting a healthy number of runners these days. It seems everyone is out, donning iPods, strollers, or golden retrievers (and sometimes all three). And I'll ...
How Bloomsday Made Me A Believer
I had a flashback as I got ready for a Bloomsday prep run this weekend. Not a déjà vu "I've been here before" moment, but a "holy smokes, I'm a hypocrite moment!" Let me explain.
When we were younger, my brother and I shunned cross country. ...
