Here's an article about cross country skiing and another one about hiking in a volcanic area. Some of you may recognize the writer's name! Very Happy

Congrats Elizabeth! Interesting articles! Ok

BTW, I happen to like the "seriously dorky-looking bright blue gaiters" Wink

Well, they really do the job keeping snow out of my boots, anyway! I'm okay with dorky, anyway. I have found that an obsession with not appearing to be dorky which was prevalent amongst my kids when they were teens got to be pretty boring.

Dorky is good.

I think I'll change my profile quotation.

Thanks for the compliments, too! I think I am becoming far less thrilled at seeing myself in print in the local press--I started in January of this year submitting articles to two publications up here on the mountain. I've had seven printed so far. I really need to get off my duff and try for a larger market publication. I have two weeks paid vacation, starting this coming Sat:

Multi Skier Girl Yahoo!

....so I should have a little bit of time for writing!

Congrats Elizabeth...I remember you talking about enjoying writing and working on a few things this summer. Nice to see your name in print, No?
Haven't read through it all yet, but will come back to read again.

Good going!!!

Elizabeth, how can you even call them "seriously dorky-looking bright blue gaiters", when they perfectly match your shirt? You have a very well coordinated outfit! See, not dorky at all. Very Happy

I enjoyed both of your articles, and do hope to get close enough to snow someday to try cross country skiing.
