In case you haven’t figured it out already, I prefer posting photos more than text. Here is a collection of photos that I have received from people over the past couple of weeks in West Yellowstone. Enjoy!

Of course, the Sisu Skiers/Kuzzy Kids Clinic was a real highlight. Check out the article from the West Yellowstone News.

A big thanks to the Sisu Skiers for their support of the clinic, both organizing and sponsoring it. Ben Popp, Mike Nightengale, and Mike Brown all helped out with the clinic, even though their kids weren’t even in West. They do some great things for the ski community in the Twin Cities and around the country.

Needless to say, it’s been a solid couple of weeks in West Yellowstone. We’re packing today and heading north tomorrow to Silver Star, British Columbia for more racing next weekend.
If you still didn’t get your fix of winter photos, check out these shots from the Boston Globe–a great way to get fired up for winter. Adios!
