Wisconsin Skis: Training for the Birkie

For this year’s Birkie, I decided not to adhere to a rigid training plan, but to just ski as often as I could, wherever I could. We were lucky enough to get some December snow which helped lengthen the ski season quite a bit. Many times, I’ve been able to ski with friends and family, but there have been a few times that I’ve needed to hit a ski trail by myself and whittle the kilometers away with just me and my skis. 

Wisconsin Skis: Ski Lessons

Sometimes a gap exists between knowing to ski and knowing to ski well. Luckily in Madison, an army of MadNorSki volunteers are happy to help beginning and intermediate skiers work on technique. 

Wisconsin Skis: Standing Rocks Park

I went to college in Stevens Point, yet had never skied Standing Rocks Park, just a few miles out of town.

So when my uncle suggested we take a trip to Standing Rocks to ski, I decided that today was the day. 

Wisconsin Skis: Back on the Trails in 2017

I haven’t written a blog post since April.

I’ve been busy. I married my best friend, changed my name, hiked through Zion National Park, rode bikes with friends and ran with my lab. My full time job has kept on my toes and I’ve filled my free time with developer meet-ups and volunteer work. 

But now it’s ski season and I’m signed up for another Birkie.
