Question folks. Does snowboarding count for points? My son and I are headed out tomorrow before he heads back to school and the extra points would sure be nice.

Sure does as long as you don't count the bunny hill or sitting in the lodge

Have fun bet the snow is awesome!

Got a couple hours in. It was a little colder than normal but was still fun. The snow is a little icy this year. We've had a couple of big storms but the snowpack is still a little low so a lot of it is manmade and not as good as we're used to.

Got out for a CC ski last night. After the snow we got this week the trails are in great shape again.

Going to try and get a 20K in on Saturday.

Send some our way please!!!!  I saw some ski markings while I was riding last night but it is on about 4" of snow - no thanks.  I want a nice base before I attempt to ski.  Skate skiing would be a total waste so far this seaon in "Snowy" Western New York.

I am moving!!! LOL


If you want snow, you could move to the UP of Michigan. They get a ton of snow, lots of lake effect snow off Lake Superior.

Makes for some difficult training, but if I can do it here anyone can, just beware the snowplow.

Funny you should mention the UP. Yesterday I was going to write that I need to become a Yooper just to see any snow in the mitten, and then we finally got some today! Hooray

Or I guess not, by the time I started my warm up, it was already over 35.  Beautiful day for a run though.  Just wish I could have been faster.

I have been doing a lot of treadmill stuff lately, so slipping off the chart.  But I got out for 30 minutes today.  It was 11 degrees - woohoo!  150 pts!

Hoping to do my long run tomorrow, if not then Monday.  Should be another chilly one.  Thankfully it's a rare combo of sun and no wind.

Pulled a muscle in my neck yesterday, went for a ski anyway and made it worse. Now every time a move I get a shooting pain in my neck, so I spent the rest of the day on the couch. The worst part is, I didn't get my long ski in today.

Sucks man. Rest well, it will heal quicker right?

Got some points for the first time since Christmas! I'm pretty sure England is supposed to be well known for it's cold and wet weather, but it seems England has other ideas this year!

Thankfully we had 16mph winds today and the temperature dropped to 2°C (it's been averaging around 8 recently).

Guess I don't know how to rest. Went out for a 45 minute run this morning. As long as I don't turn my head, the neck doesn't hurt. After all, it was -3F and I couldn't pass it up.

You are crazy Lenny!! Rest up - you have a nice lead and I am heading out of town all week so points will be scarce since I won't have my bike!

Scored some good points this weekend though - brrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Dang it. I am never going to catch up with that kind of determination.

Regardless, with a week of steady sub 0F temperature with a bit of snow and in windy Calgary, I am going to give it the full court press this week.
