I arrived at “Elinor’s,” as our farmhouse-turned-athlete-compound is known, in the first week of June. My first impression of my new home was highlighted by Hannah’s remarkably good paintings of local scenery, which line the living room walls, and ‘infused’ by the distinctive smells of stale chain saw gas and sweat mingling in the stairwell, [...]

For roughly the past two years, the GRP skiers and SBTC rowers have been talking about the doing a “Craftsbury Triathlon”. It would be the ultimate test of the well-rounded Craftsbury athlete: a rollerski on the Creek Rd. from Irasburg to the end of the pavement, followed by a run back to the center on [...]

After a week of some pretty incredible skiing on Eagle Glacier Rosie and I loaded up her new car to head out on a road trip for several days. I wanted to experience Alaska. Real Alaska. This kind of Alaska. Although I didn’t have the former governor of the state as my guide, Rosie did [...]

This last week I was fortunate enough to join APU and Sun Valley for a week of skiing on APU’s Eagle Glacier outside Girdwood, Alaska. For anyone from the east skiing in the summer is an unusual, almost foreign prospect. The season in Vermont is short, and as a skier you spend more time cross [...]

Ok, so I wrote this blog post a while ago on my way home from New Zealand and then forgot to post it. Its sort of long. But I’ve decided to post it anyway, because at one point I was really excited about it. Here it goes: The Snow Farm sits at about 1600 meters, 12-kilometers [...]

Snowflake Photographs by Snowflake Bentley Jericho: a small Vermont town made famous by “Snowflake” Bentley, the first man to photograph snowflakes back in 1885 and discover that no two are ever alike. Over 125 years later, Jericho’s winter heritage is still going strong, even in the summer. Every August, I travel to [...]

Once the snow came in NZ, I basically skied a lot. This took up most of the day because I had to go back and forth from Hawea to the SnowFarm. I’d be up at 7, drive in to Wanaka or the base of the SnowFarm road, and then hitch up the hill. Often I [...]
On my way home from Alaska, I made a stop in Seattle for some family time. In the past couple years it has been hard to get our whole family together at the same time so we wanted to make sure it happened this summer. Eben and Elsa both live in Seattle , it was [...]
14 tough female athletes 4 coaches 2 groomers 2 piston bullies 1 glacier 1 building 7.5 km of groomed trails 26 hours of skiing 3 helicopter loads of food 2 bottomless coffee makers 1 guitar 50+ trashy magazines 2 choreographed dances These are just some of the numbers that describe my week on the glacier. After a little over a week of dryland, we drove to Girdwood which [...]
We had an afternoon off during the dryland portion of the camp and it was the perfect timing for a Dartmouth reunion and sightseeing trip with Anchorage native Eric Packer. Eric took Sophie Caldwell, Rosie Brennan, and I to the port town of Whittier. It was about a 45 minute drive to a 6 mile [...]
One of my favorite things about summer is fresh berries, especially blueberries and raspberries. On Sunday afternoon, Clare and I joined some of the Hosmer Point campers to pick blueberries on a farm off the North Wolcott road. Our group brought back over 60 lbs of berries for the dining halls at Hosmer Point and [...]
