		That is me and cross-country skiing. 9 miles and I KNOW it is tough but, man, I hate to "skate" when you often have to do so to get to another downhill run.

Looks like Snow Boarding is on tap today. I'm pretty sure the USA owns that event. Could be wrong but I sure see a ton of those kids running around here with the baggy jeans and flannel....And this is the desert!!!!!!!
