Got a cool new app for my phone, imapmyfitness,  so I tried it out for the last couple ski's out at nine mile.  Its now down to less than two weeks till the birkie, so I'm focusing on that pretty heavily right now.  I got to do some high altitude skiing this past week out in colorado, it is really tough to ski hard at 10000 feet.  Definitely more difficult than biking, I think mainly because you dont have a seat to sit down on and coast for a while.  I may be doing the stump far ski race this coming weekend if the snow conditions don't get wrecked by the warm weather this week.
