When we moved here five years ago, the neighbors asked if we planned to plow all the way down to our place. I responded, “Hell no, we’re going to ski in and out” and that’s what we’ve been doing fifth winter straight.

This Saturday is the most consequential North American skimo race ever! The relay will determine whether its or going to the ! Sunday’s sprint is also the last opportunity for certain athletes to gain points to likewise qualify for the Olympics. High stakes!
I’m here training to become internationally certified as an ISMF skimo referee. I’ve been a National Ref for 3 years. We’ll be setting up the course to precise specifications and then refereeing the races with perhaps a higher standard than has ever been held in a North American skimo race ever before to ensure fairness in the selection process.
Thanks to for accommodating the race!

You are invited!

Vermont Pain Relief Physical Therapy & Massage has expanded its East Burke health and recovery center, now offering Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)—one of the most advanced healing tools available today. This marks a major addition to health and wellness options in the NEK.

Open House & HBOT Info Night
To introduce the community to the new services, Vermont Pain Relief will host a Community Open House and HBOT Information Event on Thursday November 6 from 3pm to 7pm at 83 Kirby Road, East Burke. Attendees can:
-Tour the facility and HBOT chamber
-Try red light therapy and recovery tools including sauna & cold plunge (bring your own towel!)
-Meet Dr. Duniho and the wellness team
-Learn who HBOT can help and how to get started

Vermont Pain Relief Physical Therapy and Massage's recent expansion includes:

-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment, in affiliation with Hyperbaric Vermont
-An expanded physical therapy and performance training gym
-An outdoor recovery lounge featuring sauna & cold plunge overlooking a mountain brook
-Red light therapy
-Membership-based wellness access

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical technology that increases oxygen supply to tissues in the body, accelerating repair, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the body's natural healing process. HBOT requires a prescription, which Vermont Pain Relief helps patients obtain through partnering medical providers.

Research supports the use of HBOT for:
Concussion, depression and traumatic brain injury recovery
Long COVID, chronic fatigue, and brain fog
Lyme disease and chronic inflammation
Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery
Peripheral neuropathy and nerve injuries
Soft tissue injuries and non-healing wounds
Stroke recovery support
Arthritis and chronic pain conditions

"Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a game-changer," says clinic owner Dr. Kevin Duniho, DPT. "For years, patients had to travel hours away to access this level of healing technology."

Dry tool free soloing Central Gully with skis on my back and ski poles in hand was definitely one of the trickiest things I think I’ve ever done and is dumber and less appealing than it sounds. Not something I will repeat but i’m kind of in awe looking back that after 2+ hours of being absolutely gripped I actually topped out and survived. I forgot to turn GoPro off so I have a ton of horrible footy like this first video and then my battery died just as I was dropping The Lip skiing 🙄
It was a fun adventure though and a route I’d like to follow with full coverage snow.
Hopefully headed back to soon for a more straight forward

Still recovering from our 9th Chic Choc trip! Its always a good time for many reasons: getting away from the US, shopping in Quebec grocery stores, the exchange rate, but foremost getting an extension of winter and skiing novel lines in a quieter place with amazing views!

I won’t say anything more about this line other than that I’ve wanted to ski it for years and it was really difficult and long to get into on a suboptimal day. 3” of fluff on no-fall steep ice made the photos look fluffy but the videos tell another story! The pitch is definitely steeper than resources say and the entry was a bit puckering. As I approached the line I recorded a video of my feelings about it which is not something I normally do. Given the significance, effort and risk I felt it was appropriate to document how I felt and what it meant to me.
A note on the risk: It may be nothing to some skiers but on this day it definitely seemed scary because of the ice and how steep the entry was. I was solo and had skied 6 miles but had 8.5 miles to get back to the Ski Van. I didn’t see anyone the whole tour. I enjoy going out by myself getting to go as fast or slow as I want and being able to really focus on a mission. Its hard to find people that match with all the characteristics needed and our schedules. I know that I could get into trouble but part of the challenge is the fine line between risk and staying safe. I definitely had an internal dialogue going on that was verging on physical expression of my anxiety. It spiked when I got above treeline and saw the enormity of the objective and how committing it was. I was telling myself it was ok even though I knew it might not be. Fortunately, through many years of biking, skiing, climbing and other random things somehow I’ve made the right decisions and the right actions to back it up. I’ve imagined what it would be like to f**k up, get injured, be unprepared and be faced with an epic battle for survival. Hopefully I will never have to experience such a thing.

My from other lenses. Thanks Dan Houde and .j.bennett
I wasn’t the fastest so all cameras weren’t pointed at me. I wasn’t the slowest so they were still out on the mountain. Happy to see a few and appreciate that they were posted for posterity.
