Down But Not Out
All was going well in the summer of COVID, but then I fell off a bridge on my mountain bike back on June 23, dislocating the heck out of my foot and breaking my ankle. […]
Seefeld World Nordic Ski Championships #2
Still cannot enable my galleries but here are a few from the big sprint championship day yesterday. Both men’s and women’s races were won by Norwegians (no surprise!). American men and women had some good […]
Eastern Cup #1, Craftsbury
The New England Nordic Ski Association started its Eastern Cup racing season out Saturday and Sunday at the Craftsbury, VT, Outdoor Center. There were top racers from the East, eastern Canada and elsewhere as well […]
Northfield Sky & Barn
About as Vermont Lifey as I get. But I couldn’t resist. Of course, the state has seen fit to kill off the withering Vermont Life. RIP.
Daughter, Mother
Ran into these two in Harrisonburg, Virginia, having breakfast at The Little Grill Collective. I’ve heard it said that a window is the same thing as a big softbox (a piece of photography equipment that […]
Good Day in the Mountains
Beautiful winter day in the mountains yesterday: sun and cold, new snow. That’s Camel’s Hump with Mt. Mansfield sticking up behind it in the top photo, as seen from Sugarbush North. Others are both from […]
Greetings from the Season
Holiday greetings from the frozen north. For the first time in a few years we’ll have an authentic northern New England white Christmas. It did rain on top of the whiteness most of today but […]
Catching Up on Oregon

Making Skiing by Making Snow
It’s a sad commentary on the weather, but the Craftsbury, VT, Outdoor Center had to continue making skiing out of nothing last week when it held the Super Tour Finals and national distance championship cross-country ski […]
Mt. Mansfield November
The world is going to hell, no doubt. Meanwhile, manmade snow on Mt. Mansfield (VT), above, and the British are still insisting on quirky signs. (Scroll down to see what I mean.)
Sky Sail
Over Long Beach, NY, a beach town on a barrier island just off the south shore of Long Island, not too far from JFK airport. Part one of the year-end image clearance. Like it on the […]
Renaissance Portraits
I was back in New York last week, so I’ll have a bunch of urban posts over the next few days — from Fifth Avenue in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, above, to […]
XC TG
Skiing arrived early enough this year for a Thanksgiving run at the Morse Farm Ski Touring Center, East Montpelier, VT. Fine form for early in the season too.
