PM: Beautiful skin on the mountain. Paradise! Fresh snow and amazing sunset. Doesn't get much better than watching the sunset at 12000ft and then bombing down on fresh powder.

Fresh snow + sunset skiing = take a camera! :-)

Seriously! I do need to snap some shots but I have a feeling that my iphone wouldn't do justice AND I am usually trying so hard to keep up with some guys that I would lose a good 50 meters if I stopped :) Plus, they would pale in comparison to your incredible shots!
By the way, thank you for the recommendations on some of the spring backcountry options. I'm thinking about taking a week trip in April, maybe UT or CO.
Hope your training is going well!

If you come up this way we'd gladly offer you a place to crash and ski partners (at least on the weekends!).
Its hard to beat Colorado when you catch a good corn cycle in the spring... but sometimes we get our best powder days in April. Block out a week and chase the snow... or sunshine :-)

Thank you so much for the offer, that is very kind of you! I definitely want to get up to Utah at some point….maybe this spring or possibly Steamboat. Regardless, I agree that I need to block out a week and make it a done deal :)
Hopefully you are planning on doing the same so that you can enjoy some snow and sun and get off the pavement :)

We definitely are planning on a lot of spring skiing. And then a 8-10 early summer trip to the Sierras, although that might be a backpacking instead of ski trip this year since they're getting no snow.

That's great! It sounds incredible and I will look forward to following the ski/backpacking adventures and whatever races you have in store. Let me know if you all every find your way to N. AZ, I love to show off our little mountain town :)

Alicia:
You should come to the Utah Valley Marathon or Half. Good prize money, time bonus, not too far of a drive. If you want to fly, there is a direct flight for something like $70 on Allegiant Air from Mesa to Provo.

Sasha,
Thank you for the suggestions. What is the date of the Marathon and Half? I will have to look into it!

Sasha, thanks for the race info! It looks like a great race. I'm not sure about the net downhill component. I like to go UP :)
I will look into the details. Thanks again!!!
