Pre-hab, not Re-hab!
The price of this seasonal drift? Each winter, after my first days of lunging and plunging on my tele skis, I am hobbled. A hundred-year flood of lactic acid saturates the pulverized tissue of my thighs and glutes. The first month of the season is spent recovering, trying to ski myself into shape, while sidestepping the serious injuries Iโm courting because of my lack of due diligence.

Doug Robinson and the Extreme Bohemians
In March of 1970 Doug Robinson skied the entire John Muir Trail from Whitney Portal to Yosemite.

Waterhouse: South
Standing on the ridge, the Tahoe Basin is framed between the tips of my skis. Rolling for 1,500 vertical feet down into the trees below me is a glistening expanse of untracked fresh powder. The horizon is a merge of azure lake and cobalt sky. Rugged Mt. Tallac, to my left, and the gentle dome of Freel Peak, on my right, compose the classic Lake Tahoe portrait. Itโs two in the afternoon on a brilliant, clear, 20-degree Saturday in December. A few miles away, the holiday masses swarm the resorts of Heavenly Valley, Sierra-at-Tahoe and Kirkwood. Here, except for the distant bark of a local dog, the crisp pine-scented air around me is silent, the crowds non-existent, and the terrain and conditions ski-brochure perfect.

Bikes on Snow: Is ski-biking the next big winter sport?
โAre you sure this is for me?โ I ask Matt Hanson, founder and C.E.O. of Winter-X-Bike, as he unlocks a Turner DH Racer from his vanโs roof rack. โCan you ride a bike?โ he asks me without breaking his focus. โWell, yeah... โ Hanson hops off the van, pulls the bike down and hands it to me. โThen you can ride a ski-bike. Letโs go.
