So are you hitting the gym? CrossFitting it? Looking for equipment deals? What are you doing to motivate?

I've been keeping up w/ my local CrossFit gym. Scored some equipment. And snuck in a longboard surf session at Tormaline La Jolla Beach SD, Cali on a bzns trip. Can't wait to get my splitboard up there ASAP.

I went to Saint Marys yesterday, first time in like 15 years. That place is like 6 flags nowadays complete with pay parking. Dirty snow and survival turns with about 500 of my closest friends. Splitboarding seems to be good training for splitboarding.

Lol yes! ^ Hoping to keep the dream alive myself at least one more day. Did you do the NFNWR???
Right now I just keep fit biking, push ups, pull ups. I'll start a weight training regiment written by Russman himself involving mostly lower body/core power lifting. I'm skinny as fuck as it is (5'9 140-145lbs). The last thing I need is crossfit or P90x for mountaineering. I need more bulk, power and calories to burn!

I have taken a liking to triathlons. They seem to help the entire body in staying fit. I also do a little bit of hiking / trail running. I am so ready for the white stuff to start falling though.

Working at a ski resort 6 days a week. By the time winter gets here it will be the last place I want to be.

Funny, also Russman prescribed.... One solid month of active rest and recovery!

And I'm overstating for a change with the use of the word 'active'. Not too hard to motivate to bar-b-q-ing and drinking beer.

I plan to not board from august 7th-first snow after fall euqinox...

As for actuall 'prepping'. maybe some climbing and rope work to get more profeciant. a little ice/seracccing at baker in the fall. reglue my skins. fix my boots. find a couple cheap boards and split them for next year. hike/scout for some cave locations. sew all my socks. set some caches. build a couple bc huts. catch and smoke a winters worth of salmon. grow/harvest and dehydrate a winters worth of veggies and mushrooms...Jerky! berrY season is going be super PHAT!!! this year! maybe make a bunch of huckleberry brandy.
.... i'm sure I'm missing some.

Good on ya for that. Can't tell you how many times my pals and I have tossed this idea around for certain spots around Bozeman, then get "distracted" by summer activities. Let me know if your ideas come to fruition...

By drinking margaritas on the deck to forget there is no snow.

I move to the jacuzzi and I smack it up, flip it, and rub it down
