		<title>COLD &#8211; MOVIE TRAILER AND THOUGHTS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw Cory Richard&#8217;s short film, COLD, on Saturday at the Adventure Film Festival&#8217;s Jackson stop. The rawness and honesty of the writing moved me. I liked how Cory narrated it and told it like it was. This past February 2, 2011, Simone Moro, Cory Richards, and Denis Urubko experienced brutal COLD as they completed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple All Around Exercise For Everyone &#8211; The Burpee!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this short video I demonstrate and explain the "Burpee," a wonderful all around exercise that requires only one thing, YOU! No props, no weights, bands, benches, balls or anything else to give you an excuse to not do them! Simple. All you need is a little encouragement and belief that you will be more loved if you do these. You will! You will love yourself for doing this wonderful all around exercise! The Burpee works your legs, core, shoulders, back, chest and face, hands (clapping), and face (from the inner joy that will emit from your being through your smile because you accomplished something that will benefit you greatly!).]]></description>

		<title>Cold and Raw weather &#8211; time for Merino Wool! I/O Bio on West Hourglass Couloir of Nez Perce with Darrel Miller and Storm Show Studios</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it is cold and raw, like it is now in Jackson Hole, I reach for my wool. The new Merino wool is not uncomfortable and scratchy like its predecessor. This is not the wool sweater your mother used to throw on you. The new wool is luxuriously comfortable, warm and best of all for the active set, doesn't smell worse than if  you rolled around in the dogs mess, like most synthetic long underwear, after sweating in it.

The thing I like about I/O Bio is the styling of the pieces. They are made to function for high intensity activities like running, biking, climbing, skiing and snowboarding, but they also look good worn on their own. So you can be just off a backcountry skiing or snowboarding run on Teton Pass, peel off your soft shell jacket and head straight into work with nary a nostril flared nor eyebrow raised.

Last winer Darrel Miller and I partnered for a climb and descent of he Teton Classic West Hourglass Couloir. The WHC rises above Garnet Canyon at a lovely steep angle on a north aspect for around 2,000 plus feet. ]]></description>
