After a fun filled week where the excitement never stopped, I’ve been working more this week. Guess it catches up with you at some point. The ice is huge and just getting better. Avocado was large on Monday, and still growing. It could easily get as big as it was last year, if not more so.

We’re off to Jackson tomorrow for some skiing. Speaking of skiing, check out our newest site, Skiing the Backcountry. Right now it’s pretty simple, just blogs from Jackson and Colorado. We’ve got other writers lined up, and we’ll see where it goes.

Meanwhile, here’s some links of note for this week.
