Dewachen, seated to Buddha’s (see Teaching below) right, beat me to the discovery of the First Dandy-lion of spring! No ONE has EVER beaten me to finding the first Dandy of spring…until now! With forecasted temps in nearing 60 degree’s this week up here at 6,512′, the locals are feeling like ponies bucking in their stalls. It might be a super a fast transition from ski racing to cycling, rock climbing, and all sorts of fun and frolic as Mother Earth sheds her brown-tufted camo apparel and slithers into her green rapture… we have a few more spots available for your own WF Private Intensive this summer! sign up here > WF Private Intensive or, WF 1/2 Day Training Camps

With track conditions in the fast and furious category (truth be told: insanely icy), the 15k Classic skiers launched into a pandemonium of double-poling to start this final FNC race of the 2010/2011 season. The front line included Scott “The Terminator” Oberbreckling – formerly of Boulder, Colorado now living in Flagstaff. Scott has torn the legs off of every racer here this season including Karl Granoth of the US National Military Biathlon Team and current AZ State Champion. Next to Scott was 2x AZ State Champion, Steve Ilg a former Flagstaff resident who has had another stellar winter season now racing from his native Durango, Colorado home….
This Winter: 10 podiums in 11 races…3 Overall Victories…distances from 42k to 10k…tomorrow is my final ski race; a 15k Classic Race at over 8,000′ at Flagstaff Nordic Center…can my high-end fitness form hold for one more race? photo above; courtesy of Durango Nordic Center.
Recently, Coach offered a free “Blessed Mala Re-Empowerment” during the Full Crow Moon…
I can’t say that “i’ve always dreamed of skiing with a daughter on winter afternoons in my hometown..” However, ilg’s gotta admit; this works too. I’ve lived in Durango most of my life…yet, sometimes, in mOMents like this one? i gotta pinch myself to see if i’ve not already ascended to some Heavenly Realm of the Buddha…i swear, in Durango the rivers, creeks, trees, snow, and birds all seem to me to sing the Dharma in the most seductive of ways…
