Covering your ski bases with a nice thick layer of “storage wax” is critical over the summer.
It’s that time of year again. The snow is gone, we are getting warm sunny afternoons, but it’s still chilly when you wake up in the morning. However, the reality is that your skiing is probably done for the season.
This means that it is definitely time to put storage wax on your skis – if you

Back in the old days, I used to guzzle Gatorade like it was going out of style. There was hardly ever a day that I didn’t drink at least one or two liters of “Fierce Melon” or whatever other new ULTRA-TECHNO flavor name they came up with for the sake of marketing (seriously…”Fierce Melon?”). I know, I know, you’re supposed to only drink water. But for some reason, Gatorade just seemed to go

Here’s a couple pages from one of my old training diaries. I can’t remember what year it was exactly, but it must have been pretty good because I was over 400 hours at week 43.

Since this year is a snowmachine year on Johnson Pass, the track was packed down solid enough for a fat-wheeled winter bike. Thanks to Holly
