    Free and Clear

    Prepare for the Worst

    I arrived several hours early to ensure all the paperwork, planning and details were taken care of. Even though the forecast was VFR throughout our time of flight, I decided to plan an IFR flight as well, just in case. The radar was making me...

    Frozen on the Slopes

    I then noticed that Jim — by far the better skier — was starting to fall behind. I yelled to see where he was, and he told me to go to the edge of the trees and wait for him there. I didn’t make it far before I heard Jim say he...

    Season of Change

    One of the most beautiful times of year to ride is during fall as nature’s colors reach their full brilliance.
