Big proponent of taking lessons.

Learned to downhill ski at 30 courtesy of some expert teachers.

One of my great joys now.

Invested in some after spending a week in epic snow on steep, gravel mountain roads a few years back.

Drove 4WD most of the day.

Question is whether I break out the chains tomorrow…

No skiing yet.

Mountain biking in whiteout conditions with my three-year old on the front of the bike.

Soon, though

I was a MRR reader, but much respect for Punk Planet.
