January: Denver released its snowy grip on us so we drive to Zion for Wilderness First Responder refresher. Ski Monarch & Telluride enroute during Colorado's January cold snap. Afterwards, we take refuge in Moab for a couple of days, the weather warm enough to run the Slickrock Trail loop. February: Head north to Canada via SLC (where Steve picks up some downhill ski equipment) and Kalispell (we visit our friend, Stacey, and try out Steve's ski gear on Big Mountain).
March: Hibernating the rest of February at June's studio in Windermere, B.C., we emerge to take a short trip up to out to Bow Lake, one of my favorite spots on the Icefields Parkway (top photo). Options include ski touring, ice climbing, snowshoeing, and hiking -- we have snowshoes, so guess what? It's a beautiful trek out to Bow Falls and you might just be lucky enough to see ice climbers attached to them.
April: Who says that April showers bring May flowers? They haven't been to Texas in April, I bet! Central Texas boasts a colorful display of wildflowers, including the state flower, a lupine known as the Blue Bonnet. Texas Hill Country biking provides perfect distances and hill climbing for post-winter cycling warm-up. (bottom photo)
