I’m always excited at the prospect of winning some free stuff, and SKIER magazine is giving away Dana Flahr’s setup. The signup form also asks: “Why do you ski?” Why, I thought… it’s been so many years, since I was two years old, every fall I get impatient, every winter since I’ve slid down hills, and the cycle continues. My answer:
A mountain is a craggy, unforgiving, inhospitable, massive thing. But cover it with layers of snow and me with skis and it’s a maneuverable playground, of mostly soft landings, smooth gliding, and bursts of yelling. But it’s still unpredictable and the gift for a lifetime.
Here’s to winning.

I finally decided to grow a moustache, but don’t worry — it’s temporary and for a cause! The month of November is also know as “Movember” — a genuine campaign to bring awareness to men’s health and prostate cancer. It’s serious business:
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. It accounts for over a quarter (27%) of new cancer cases in men. Even 1 in 7 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Yet prostate cancer is over 90% curable.
So I’m walking around with a moustache these days, and it’s an excellent catalyst to get people talking about these issues and opening up about men’s health in general.
I just set up a page online to accept donations. I’m really looking mostly to be part of the swarm of moustache-laden men talking about Movember, but happy to have my page as a donation page for Prostate Cancer Canada and Movember.

Thanks for your support — I don’t do this often (or often enough).
Are you a Mo Bro? Put your Mo link in the comments below! I’ll keep track of all of my bros and lady-bros doing Movember.

I’m a big Strava user for cycling, and now it’s doing running.
The False Creek loop in Vancouver is a hugely popular running route, about 9km, uninterrupted path running. And here she is. Let’s see some Strava times on here!
