Feb. 8. One goal for today was to go farther than I'd gone my last two times out and I succeeded by a little over a pitch. The second goal was to make it to the Tree of Deception, but I did not.
I realized when I arrived at the hill that I'd forgotten my knee brace. That caused me to shorten my attempt and be a bit tentative on the downhill.
The conditions were a bit slippery. Sometimes, I'd take a step, only to slide back a bit. It makes it difficult to keep one's rhythm.
The snow consistency was like a compressed slushy. So, if you are aware of snow conditions or Seven Eleven beverages, you are able to imagine what it was like out there.
Thanks for your support in this endeavor.

Howdy.
It's that time again - time to shred for DREAM. You've stepped up, year after year and donated to this amazing organization while I have stepped up the mountain, twice in 2024, and I can't remember if I made it three times last year or not. If you remember, please let me know.
This year, I've new gear and should be able to make three laps with ease. With relative ease. With effort and a tiny bit of ease. OK, with much gasping and cursing.
If you think outdoor recreation is for everybody, please consider donating to Shred Fest for DREAM Adaptive.
