Snow Nerding: December 2010
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 7 December 2010. North of Revelstoke they're plowing a logging road that gives you access to some superb terrain. There's not many people there, partly because you have to walk a little ways to get in there and partly because not too many people know about it. Did I mention that the cold temperature kept the snow really light and fluffy (and made my eyebrows frosty! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Actual link to actual updates.

Snow Nerding: Scotland
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010/09/scotland.html
Wednesday, 1 September 2010. I've been extremely lucky. After battling headwinds up through Carlisle and into Glasgow, the weather has turned fine, the wind has dropped and the vistas have become spectacular. I just happened to go past one of my favourite breweries: Loch Fyne Ales. I might have bought one (or five! Which was dutifully dispatched. Mmmm, Avalanche Ale. 2 September 2010 at 20:25. Mmm beer, have one for me! Love reading about your adventure and I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

Snow Nerding: October 2010
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 October 2010. First Turns of the Season. Early season on McCrae Peak: slip-sliding up a sketchy logging road; slippery roots on the uptrack; flat light on the pocket glacier; first run rusty but the magic's still there; second time around cloud clears and the mountains open up; fun turns in creamy pow; scratchy descent back to the car. Keener people than us had got there first and the light was in and out, but great nonetheless. Watching out for rocks on the second pitch. There's a little bit ...

Curmudgeonly Bumbly: March 2009
http://curmudgeonlybumbly.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 25, 2009. A couple of times. Over Christmas I was enthusiastically reporting the joys of the dawn patrol. I talked up the glories of the early morning starts, the sun rising over the mountains, and the fresh tracks before arriving at work at 10am. So you do this a lot? But I returned home to great roommates, who had the deep fryer bubbling with chicken drumsticks and fries. Hell yes! Monday, March 23, 2009. Last week saw me headed to Utah, for a ski vacation with the family. Let's ha...

Snow Nerding: August 2010
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 August 2010. Everyone knows that penny farthings were named in reference to the size of two British coins: the large front wheel being the penny, and the small back wheel being the farthing (worth a quarter of a penny). Not everyone knows that enthusiasts sporting waxed mustaches still ride these beasts round the British countryside. Here are two fine examples, outside the First House in Scotland in Gretna. The North of England. Mmmm, chicken pie. Check out the bedroom where I slept! No items ...
