College hockey 07-08
The new season is almost here. I love winter. The NHL has been playing exhibition games, and college teams will be playing soon enough. This year, the Frozen Four will be here in Denver, and with a little luck, I’ll be covering it as press. Last year, I got to cover the West Regional at Pepsi Center and had a great time, in addition to seeing 3 spectacular games. Who knows what the season will bring? DU lost a few key players to graduation and the minors, as Corbin and Fisher graduated and Paukovich, Dingle and Seabrook bolted. However, their top scorers from last year, Trotter, Rakhshani and Ruegsegger are all back, as is standout goalie Peter Mannino, so they should be OK. Looking at some of the DU players who’ve gone pro early, you could only imagine how good the team would be if players like Carle, Stastny, Dingle etc., had stuck around for all four years. The WCHA could be wide open this year. Hockey East will have its normal top tier of BC, BU, UNH and Maine, with teams like UVM and Providence knocking on the door. How will BC fare after losing in the finals for the second straight year? The CCHA has defending champion MSU, and they could be strong again as well.
This should be a fantastic season!

Ski season 2007-2008
So, last week I got a season pass to Arapahoe Basin. I’m looking forward to exploring a new area; the last two years I’ve gotten the Super Pass, and while I love the trees at MJ, it’s time to ski somewhere else, and Montezuma Bowl at A-Basin looks like it’ll be sweet!
Snow is on my brain right now. I-70 got closed yesterday due to accidents caused by snow. Judging by the last couple of years, A-Basin will open in 2-4 weeks, and I’ll be up on the “Blue Ribbon of Death” for my first turns of the year. Can’t wait!!!
