Is Renting Ski Equipment a Hassle?

Right now is peak skiing weather in Western North America…especially in California, Utah, British Columbia, Colorado and Wyoming.

Are you tired of waiting forever in lines to get fitted for your rental ski equipment at various ski shops?

If so, there is a solution that is so much less hassle.

How about getting fitted in your own living room and having your rental ski equipment delivered on location? Doesn’t that sound a whole lot better?

I think so…SkiButlers.com does just that.

For instance, if you’re looking for deer valley ski rentals, you’re covered.

Playing Softball In Australia – Part #1: Recruited to Play

I’m not sure if you all are aware of it or not, but I played softball in Australia for 1 year on 2 different teams in Western Australia.

Now, this may not sound so exciting to you, but I’m from Canada, and basically, you can’t get any further away than Australia! It’s on the other side of the Earth to me!

How?
To make a long story short: Softball Australia contacted Softball Canada and told them they needed a pitcher to play on a local team and hopefully, play for the Western Australian State Team.

Well, to make another long story short: One of the heads saw me at our Provincial Tournament, when I had just turned 18, and we actually lost the game and missed the finals.

Packing my things up at the bench, I was approached by the lady and she asked me if I would like to go to Australia to play softball for 1 year completely paid for. She told me she knew I had what it takes and she chose me!

I had just graduated high school and hadn’t committed to any university in the USA yet, so I jumped at the chance! Then, I told my parents I was leaving in 1 week! LOL…

What’s Different About Softball in Australia?
Apart from the very different people you’re playing against, who happen to be completely fearless, tough people, only a little bit.

Parasailing is an Adventure Sport

Never before our honeymoon did I think I’d actually go parasailing…

However, once we got up there, the unbelievable beauty and exhilaration was fabulous!

For those of you who don’t know what Parasailing is, basically, you set out on a speed boat in a lake or similar reservoir.

You get set up in a harness-like contraption attached to a parachute.

You can go up singly or tandem with another person. It’s almost like being seatbelted onto a swing.

Then, as the speedboat starts to “speed”, the parachute elevates you into the air.

You usually have the choice of going 200 meters, 400 meters or 800 meters into the sky.

We went 800 meters and boy, oh boy, was that Read more
