The purpose of the Boulder Sports Acupuncture Blog is education. Topics will range from acupuncture, diet and nutrition, training, insight into common sports injuries, narratives on local athletes, and articles submitted by the readers. The information will provide a closer look into the stories and people of our community as well as personal discussions of the health and maintenance of our mind and bodies as it pertains to Chinese Medicine.

On Fridays, a new question will be asked in what I am calling the “Friday Symposium”. Readers will have an opportunity to express their opinions and experiences regarding a topic. There is no perspective, degree, or area of expertise that has all the answers. By sharing our collective knowledge and educating each other, it is my hope we can have a greater understanding of our world.

Thank you,
Steven

Caribou Ranch Open Space

Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 2:22 PM


I can’t believe it made it 75 degrees today, the first weekend in November. This time last year we already had two snow storms! So what better way to enjoy the day then to take a hike?

I decided to explore the Caribou Ranch Open Space. Same say it’s Boulder County’s open space crown jewel. While the 4.5 mile round trip hike’s difficulty is easy, it provides some splendid views. And because of the lack of elevation gain, Caribou Ranch may not appeal to hikers who value more rugged terrain. For more information regarding this trail visit www.bouldercounty.org/openspace

But my goal was to research terrain for cross-country skiing this winter. Last year was my first experience with classic style cross-country skiing at Eldora. Being an avid cyclist I found the classic form closely mirrored that of cycling. Because of this the winter activity immediately resonated with me. However, as the season passed by I became jealous of the speed and agility of the skate skiers.

I am hoping you readers can compare and contrast the differences between the classic style of skiing and the skate skiing style. As well as make some recommendations for trails to ski around Boulder this winter.
