The Shorts -- Indiana Powder Day

Date: 04/15/2008
Length: 00:06:53

Great outdoor writing lacks ego. When listener Andy Guinigundo??s email appeared in the inbox on a rainy spring day, I read through it, read it again and thought ??Damn, I wish I could have been there.??  That??s because no matter where you ski, whether it??s the Alaskan steeps or a local hill in Southeast Indiana, a powder day is a magical thing. That??s the great thing about skiing, climbing or mountain biking ?? you don??t have to be a professional playing beneath stadium lights to understand the crowning achievements of our sports.

Andy has been skiing for decades. During the gray and often rainy Midwest winters he works ski patrol at Perfect North Slopes, a small resort across the Indiana border from his home in Ohio. Until a March blizzard, a powder day was something he had only heard about. I??d been wanting to create some smaller shorts between feature episodes, so Andy joined us in the Dirtbag Diaries Midwest Studios, a.k.a. his walk-in closet, and gave us his own farewell to an unforgettable winter season.
