As the year approaches its end, New Years' Resolutions are probably creeping up in the mind. Whether it's to eat healthier, exercise more, read more, watch less tv, everyone can use a little motivational help.
From all accounts, Heisman Trophy winning Texas Longhorn, New Orleans Saint, on again, off again Miami Dolphin running back Ricky Williams had a tough childhood. There have been allegations of abuse among other things. His tough childhood has transformed into an unpredictable adulthood. As I was watching his bio last night on ESPN, I was really inspired by something he said.
In Southwest Montana we know that playing outside is better when you have the right gear. The team at Outside Magazine has evaluated the skis, the boards, the gear, the apparel, the snowshoes; and now you get to decide what you can't live without. Think snow!
Ok, there are just some things we'll never see eye to eye on. I get it, and I'm fine with it. Just please don't hurt me for what I am about to say.

One of the little perks of my medical journey the past seven years has been colonoscopies. Lots of them. (Please try to contain your jealousy!) As the bumper sticker on my truck says, "What's up your butt? Get screened early & find out." It's important stuff. If you take something away from today it should be that there's no substitute for early cancer detection.
A good friend of mine is having a tumor removed today, and it brings back all kinds of memories for me. I wish he and his family the best of luck. My wife and I have walked many a mile in those shoes.
With Bridger Bowl and Moonlight Basin moving up opening dates due to record snowfall, area skiers and boarders are poised to hit the mountains. Big Sky opens today and has picked up another foot of new snow in the last 24 hours, giving the resort a 40" base at the bottom of the hill, and 70" at the summit
