Hey Everyone,
Its been a little while since this blog updated and it seems to be off to a slow start. Never fear though, a couple posts are (hopefully) in the works. We have Maren in New Zealand, Niko in Haiti, Nick Crawford in Idaho, myself in Alaska, and a bunch of other skiers all over the place. Spencer is training in Truckee, CA right now and doing the whole pro/semi-pro skier thing. A future post will hopefully fill in some of the details, but a few days ago he sent me this email and picture:
Subject Line: TRUE STORY
So this morning I was roller skiing down this massive, I mean really big, hill when all of a sudden this deer jumped out in front of me. Luckily 4 years of college skiing have prepared my split second reactions for such an obstruction. With the exquisite grace only possible on roller skis, I T-boned the beast and used it to cushion my fall. Unfortunately, for the deer, its neck snapped on impact rendering it dead. Not wanting to waste the life of such a beautiful animal, we put it in the team van and had a roast this evening.
Happy Trails.
