From Lost Winter to Hopeful Spring
By Laura Clark
Normally, I am fairly sanguine about whatever snow the fates grant us and am upbeat in my quest for an endless winter. But not this year. While I have managed to find snow, mostly in the Adirondacks, it has been a struggle. Like all winter race directors, I dread the inevitable questions about snow conditions and long for Frosty the Snowman’s magic hat. READ MORE
Gore Snowmakers Shine Amid Sparse Conditions
By Alex Kochon
Anyone who has skied at Gore Mountain in North Creek, with 108 trails across nearly 448 acres, can vouch for the superb snowmaking and grooming this season. The state-owned ski area hasn’t been blessed with abundant snow – instead, the opposite. Like other downhill ski resorts across the state and country, they’ve been dealing with one of the more lackluster winters on record. READ MORE
Appalachian Trail Hike for Sky High Adventure Center
By John Slyer
The Dream – Just like every kid has some far-fetched ideas, as a kiddo I had plans for lots of crazy big adventures. Flying a cardboard airplane with my brother Charlie and jumping fire on bikes like Evel Knievel with my brother George were just the beginning. I was lucky to grow up free-range with parents who gave me freedom and the courage to take risks. We regularly did 20+ miles on our bikes and skateboards and even started skydiving in high school. Our childhood was filled with sky high adventures. READ MORE

But these are products. In reality, fiber is a natural part of all plants. When we eat plants – vegetables, fruits, and unprocessed grain – we are eating fiber. READ MORE
Lou Serafini – A Journey to Find the Joy
By Kristen Hislop
Much of the time we talk about a running progression as a journey. You start and tackle milestones as you progress. Those could be distance or time goals, and often you hear the phrase ‘enjoy the journey.’ For kids in high school and college, times matter, but you’ll hear good coaches talk about the process. When you’re in the middle of a season that might not be going well, there tends to be little joy in running. It is all about completing the workout, hitting the times, and doing well at meets. This pressure can come from a variety of places: self-inflicted, coaches, parents, teammates, and nowadays social media. As you’ll learn from Niskayuna native, Lou Serafini’s story, when the joy is present, great and fun stuff follows. READ MORE
