Love spring in Sun Valley, ski in the morning, bike in the afternoon.

@fitnesslab And to you two too! Awesome results and great skiing!

Quite an unexpected haul at World Masters Championships.The courses were challenging, the grooming was exceptional, and the OC/volunteers were outstanding! Independent of the performances, we had a great time and look forward to skiing at Canmore again sometime soon! #canmore2022

One last ski at the Canmore Nordic Center. It’s a great facility with fabulous ski trails for all abilities... from Olympic-level to recreational. Put this on your list of must-do ski areas!

You've gotta love conditions like this for classic skiing, even on the "B" hill on the 10km and 15km courses at Canmore MWC 2022. Bumble, John Gravlin (USA), and Jon Haukeland (NOR) stride with confidence on the 10% grade section of the hill. #canmoremwc #mwc2022

It was a golden-bronze day for Team Bumble Bee. Bee completed the Gold trifecta and Bumble secured a Bronze. We are very grateful for a successful race series, a great venue, and awesome grooming. Thanks to the Canmore 2022 MWC OC and very friendly volunteers! #canmoremwc

We raced with heavy hearts today when our 88 y/o Sun Valley neighbor, good friend, and fellow skier Shauna Thoreson passed away suddenly this morning. She lived by a set a rules: never take no for an answer, try everything, keep the wind at your back, and be generous. #agoodlife

My first visit to Canmore was for the Pre- Olympics during the winter of 1987. Here I am with my brother, Jim and the official mascots Hidy and Howdy. It was a friendly place then and remains so now. #mwc2022 #canmoremwc

Found this sign on an afternoon walk. Says it all.

[Team Bumble Bee @Bumble_and_Bee]

There are a lot of things to do other than Nordic skiing at the Canmore Nordic Center; including an extensive network of separate, single-track fat bike trails and this great, mirror flat, ice skating pond with fabulous views!

[Team Bumble Bee @Bumble_and_Bee]

Silver was the color today for Team Bumble Bee in the relays. Bee and Bumble put down the fastest classic times and our teammates came through with great performances to secure the Silver! Great fun and community building with the team environment. Bee and team below. #canmoremwc

After checking out the 5km "geezer" course that will be used for tomorrow's relay at World Masters Championships, we explored some of the more challenging Olympic and World Cup trails - awesome fun! Here, Bee strides above the Olympic stadium 34 years later. #canmoremwc #mwc2022
