Otis Ski Area: Through the Looking Glass
Otis Ridge is a jewel among the hidden ski areas, appearing first as a crosswalk to a wooden foot bridge, that once crossed, you really have entered Narnia.
Affordable Skiing?? What a concept
This is my year to see if skiing can be affordable. Indy Pass is my chosen method for 2025 to 2026 for finding the perfect ski days on a budget. Can it be done?

Return to Barcelona
Barcelona. I haven’t been there since 1992. Today’s Barcelona is sprawling and majestic, much as it was in 1992, just more. When I gazed across the cityscape from the patio of Fabra Observatory, near the top of Tibidabo, the tableau of city and Mediterranean stretched along the coastline.

The race has been an Olympic qualifier event, a National Championship, a National Championship qualifier event, and most recently, the qualifier for the Masters National Championship. The trophy is spectacular and makes you want to kiss it just like the Stanley Cup.
