It turns out that a huge snow storm last week left a bunch of snow in the Colorado mountains, and I was able to do some skiing in Keystone this past weekend.  I skied through trees and did some black diamond runs with moguls.  It’s amazing how far I have come along in these past few months.

I have skied a total of 19 times this season and if I go out next weekend, it will be a total of 20 plus days of skiing.  Pretty good investment in my season ski pass.

Most likely, next weekend will be my last weekend of skiing fun because I am most likely heading out to New Mexico for the month of April for a physician assignment.  That will most likely signal the end of the skiing season for me, but there is rock climbing in spring and summer (and fall) and of course I am looking forward to that!

I never thought I would get so interested in skiing after being in Colorado for over a year now.  In my first season I have already skied a double black diamond and am getting better at moguls.  Needless to say, Colorado and its activities can be quite addictive.

I’ll probably be skiing this weekend since there is fresh new snow during this week and next weekend may be my last weekend of skiing, since I could possibly be in New Mexico next month doing urgent care work.

No need to feel sad about it, since rock climbing season will soon be around the corner.

Just got back to Colorado after a ten day stay in California.  I visited some relatives I hadn’t seen in forever and explored San Francisco a lot and visited Los Angeles.  The area of San Francisco was great, and visiting Alcatraz was definitely a highlight. I even biked the Golden Gate Bridge and explored Muir Woods, a national heritage site with redwoods (some of California’s largest trees).

The trip ended in Los Angeles where I walked around north and west Hollywood, which was really cool.  Best part was going to see my Atlanta Hawks play (and win!) against the Lakers and Clippers on back to back nights.

Atlanta beat a Kobe-less Lakers squad by 29 points and then played their hearts out to come back from a 17 point deficit against a great Clippers team to shock the crowd and win.  It was awesome and inspiring.

I have some errands to do in the next few days, and then I am going to Vail to ski and possibly rock climb in the area.  Adventures never stop and life is an exciting journey.
