For some, the morning darkness and cold weather settle in, and we find comfort in turning over in bed and missing a workout.

And not just any mountains: Go where a snowfall means you actually want to go outside and play, zero-degree days don’t feel as chilly as they could, and the sun can tan your face like a trip to the tropics.

But here are our Top 10 Greatest Ironman World Championship Age-Groupers. Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:09:33 +0100 http://www.metrosportsdc.com/features/dive-into-new-territory-this-winter.html As skiers and boarders get their gear in order for the season, many of the area’s local resorts are ready to unveil new features on the slopes. Read about them here.

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:53:18 +0100 http://www.metrosportsdc.com/features/warren-miller-2009.html It’s time for that yearly ritual of adrenaline to help get you pumped up about the ski season: the Warren Miller film. Nothing will get your heart racing and adrenaline pumping like watching daredevils on skis and snowboards push the limits like they do in Miller’s movies.

Therefore, rest is essential for allowing your body to restore and recover between training bouts and regenerating into a fit athlete. Recovery can mean many different things with as many ways to incorporate it into your routine.

As the air chills, winter sports enthusiasts begin to dream of zipping down powdery slopes on newly waxed skis or catching air on a snowboard in the terrain park. But without the right skills, the first run of the year could be greatly disappointing and potentially turn ugly. To help you get up to speed, MetroSports talked to the experts who know the local slopes best.

Not about topics of major importance, but mainly inconsequential matters. Like why can spiders climb on walls and ceilings, but can’t escape bathtubs? Or, as of late, the strange popularity behind Turkey Trot races on or around Thanksgiving Day.

With every dire prediction that the world is headed toward total economic collapse, I feel a growing urgency to prepare for the end of civilization. While financial analysts flood the airwaves with advice about where to invest for retirement, I’m looking at putting my money into space blankets, waterproof matches and MREs.
