This is My Beach!
Howelsen Hill is legend. It is the "other" ski area in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Howelsen Hill, though, is the oldest continually operating ski area in the United States. Since 1915, it has placed 89 skiers on the U.S. Olympic team.
The Hill runs on a shoestring budget. Dave Innes, for example, helps run a program that lets 2nd graders ski for free twice each year. They also have Free Skiing for everyone each Sunday!
Tamani Wooley, my vivacious friend at Spectrum News, has just published her first book, titled Do You Dare? Anything Tamani does is fun.
If you're thinking of spendng a week in
Browns Park, Colorado, consider getting your hands on one of these. It's the only roof you'll find when it rains and it has a two-burner stove to make coffee in the morning.
We sure appreciate the crowd at Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs.
We just enjoyed another interview with Caitlin Irla on Newschannel 13 Weekend Today. She's a lot of fun on weekend mornings!
Congratulations to Sue Hart Rainka on the opening of The Book Nook,
in Ballston Lake, NY
off Exit 11. She's got a great collection of second hand books (and one new one of mine, but I think her husband got first dibs).
Great time spent with readers in Bethlehem at Spinney at Van Dyke.
I meet lots of readers at the Book House at Stuyvesant Plaza in Albany. An author always fears the possibility of zero attendance at a book signing. So, I'm grateful to all those who show up.
We had a great book signing at
West Mountain Ski Resort
in Queensbury.
This picture, I can't decide if I resemble a snake oil salesman or someone luring Hansel and Gretel to an evil cottage.
My old friend and former co-anchor,
Subrina Dhammi,
visited at West Mountain.
A lot of great memories.
It never gets old, receiving that first box of books.
Fellow author, Barbara Fournier, wrote "Now Say You're Sorry." In her spare time, she looks after the rest of us. She's sort of the writer's Den Mom.
At the Saratoga Book Festival. My friend Julie Chapman wrote a fun children's book,
"Witches, Bats, and
Mystical Cats."
Had a great time in Sun Valley, where Back Dirt was honored by the International Skiing History Association! skiinghistory.org

Thanks to everyone we met on our
Midwest Mountain Tour!
We did some skiing in Wisconsin.
I mean, we didn't spend the entire time consuming warm drinks inside
a plastic igloo. But that wasn't the worst of it, either!
At Saratoga Book Festival, sharing a moment with Saratoga author Hollis Palmer. Authors Kim Van Alkemade and Armando Lucas Correa are behind us.

Thanks for the article in the great newspaper of Loveland, Colorado!
We were thrilled to help raise
money, in an internationally streamed TV event, to feed their horses for the winter, at the farm of Equine Advocates, in Chatham, NY.
This has been a team effort.
My wife, Carolyn, designed the
covers of WITCH WINDOW,
BACK DIRT and LOVING LUCY, with Debbi Wraga of Shires Press.
Murder On Skis was the #1 selling book in 2020, at
JP WOOLIES at the
Big Sky Ski Resort in
Montana!
I met store owner Tucker Vanyo and signed some books, after a day on the slopes.
Thanks! To the Daily Inter Lake newspaper in Kalispell, Montana, for their kind mention.
Grateful to the great crew at Clifton Park Neighbors magazine. They brought us up to West Mountain and did a photo shoot!
It was a lot of fun. BTW, those Blizzard GS skis Rip!
