Good signs

Unexpected, unsolicited support of the entire US Cross Country World Cup team (well, the men’s team, anyway), as seen on a store front in downtown Canmore.

Snow and tracks in downtown Canmore.  If you’re into skiing on the street, check out the Madison Winter Festival, February 20-21 around the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin.

Finishing strong in Canmore.  We’re kicking back today and tomorrow, then heading to Vancouver on Tuesday.  Even without the races, we’re enjoying some more beautiful days here in Canada.  Looking forward to a little Super Bowl action later this afternoon.  Who Dat?! Saints Dat.
