Water bladders are a wonderful invention and they work very well for many uses. There are times that I do not carry a bladder, yet still want water very accessible. My solution to this has been to make my own carrier using a few simple items and a used plastic water bottle. In this short [...]

Winter Dip in Lake Michigan, Speaking To Music Students At Northwestern University
March 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment, Speaking, Training, Travels
I love swimming, and going for dips in extremely cold water is great too…it is invigorating, a way to appreciate warm clothes, environments, the sun and to simply have an intense physical experience that is psychologically challenging too. This morning I went for a short run, which I rarely do, with my host in Chicago, [...]

Stephen Koch Speaking Testimonials
February 26th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Speaking
Stephen Koch was the right speaker with the right message for our sales meeting. We wanted a speaker with mountaineering or winter sport background to compliment our meeting location in Utah, but we wanted more than a cliché message that is common with this speaker type. We chose Stephen because his theme, One Step Further, [...]

Brief History of Snowboarding with Video of Early Snowboarding – 1926!!
February 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Communication, Entertainment, Snowboarding, Videos
I thought it was Sherman Poppin and many incorrectly believe it was Jake Burton (due to some wicked good marketing done by Burton Snowboards), who invented the snowboard. No one may be completely sure who was first to stand up sideways and ride downhill on a sled over snow, but in the 1920′s Gunnar and [...]

Ski Lifts and Child Safety – Skiing and Swinging with Axl at Snow King and Jackson Hole
February 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Fatherhood, Jackson Hole
This past weekend my son, Axl, and I skied on Saturday evening at the King (Snow King Mountain). It was our first night runs together, at least of the skiing kind. We alternated skiing with swinging on the swing set at the base. I narrowly missed stepping in a dog dukie left by a woman [...]
