Skillz


After waking up from a nap this morning, we went to visit my ski coach, Matt. Matt is another unique Steamboat anomaly. A skilled ski jumper, alpine racer, telemarker, amazing carpenter and artist, a chef, and one of those guys that could probably run a marathon off the couch; Matt is Steamboat minus a frame. His wife, Sandy is an equally impressive climber, bronze sculptor and telemark skier. Together, their family is quite a group of prodigies. So we spent the afternoon sharing paddleboard designs, discussing elk and catching up. Right in the middle I look through the window and one of their sons, Sawyer, 3, is riding his bike over a teeter totter with some older friends who are UNICYCLING the plank. I did a double take, then remembered that, oh yeah, I’m back in the Boat!
