President's Message

By Tim McCorcle

With winter reluctantly giving way to spring here in the Pacific Northwest, I find myself alternating between reflecting on the events of the past year, and mulling over the possibilities for the months ahead.

"Keeping the spirit of Ski for Light going," long-time Ski for Light guide Marvin Liewer remarked during his March 14th presentation about his sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle in Butte, Nebraska, and I immediately thought of the challenge faced by the Ski for Light community last summer. HOW would we keep the SFL spirit going if we could not gather in-person due to the pandemic?

Thankfully, we have technology to help us span vast distances at the speed of light, and a diverse community of SFL enthusiasts eager to stay connected with each other, to share their experiences, and to discover what is possible by doing so. Adeptly led by Bonnie O'Day, the planning committee for this past January's Ski for Light International virtual event crafted a program that exhibited the variety of skills and interest within our community: It encompassed our commitment to fitness and to remembering our history and heritage. It brought us together from all over the world. The more than 430 folks registered for the virtual event, and all the individual sessions boasted large participant counts, reflecting the enthusiasm to connect. Please read on for Bonnie's article recapping the festivities.

Throughout the coming months, the SFL Board of Directors and soon-to-be appointed event planning committee will focus our attention and energy on the 47th annual Ski for Light International week, which is scheduled for January 30 - February 6, 2022. We plan to ski on the wonderful trails at Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, Colorado, and to stay in the lodges conveniently located just footsteps away from the tracks or a short shuttle ride from the Nordic Center. The SFL Board and planning committee will monitor the public health orders issued by the State of Colorado and Grand County as they are modified to reflect the changing state of the pandemic. We will collaborate with the staff at Snow Mountain Ranch to implement recommended best practices for staging group gatherings. Our goal is to host an in-person event next January, but only if we can do so in accordance with public health orders, and if we are confident that the event will be as safe as possible, and true to the spirit of what we expect of an SFL International week. Be sure to visit our website at www.sfl.org periodically during the months ahead to learn the latest news about plans for the 2022 event.

I am looking forward to the warmth of spring, to the prospects of increased interaction and less restricted travel, and to working with fellow members of Ski for Light to build on the energy and enthusiasm of our virtual event.

Stay connected to your community, and keep the spirit of Ski for Light going throughout your adventures. Just imagine the stories we will share when we gather together again; we hope, next January on the trails at Snow Mountain Ranch!

Skiing, Sharing, Learning
Well, We Did Everything but Ski!

By Bonnie O'Day

When President Tim McCorcle asked if I were interested in chairing the 2021 SFL International event (to take place in Granby, Colorado), I jumped at the chance. I love skiing there, and we have stayed at the YMCA of the Rockies several times. They know us and we know them, so organizing the week would be relatively easy, as these things go. Then along came COVID-19!

We realized that holding an in-person event would be impossible. My task shifted to organizing a virtual one, which neither SFL nor I had ever done before. Those of you who know me know that I am a reasonably skilled technology user, but my use is of necessity rather than of desire. So I was not excited about organizing an event that relied so heavily on digital platforms, computers, or smart phones. But I knew SFL had some great resources. I realized right off the bat that I needed to identify someone who loved learning about and implementing new technology and making it easy for blind people to use. That, of course, was Judy Dixon. I needed some creative people to figure out what types of sessions we would have, and I thought immediately of Wendy David, Julie Coppens, and Lauren Hein. The people who could bring a historical perspective and make sure we honored our Norwegian roots were Marion Elmquist and Scott McCall. Who better to handle the auction than someone who shares my first name--Bonnie Hartman. Larry Showalter would make sure all the information was accessibly posted on our website, and Melinda Hollands would recruit new people through her diligent public relations efforts. Finally, I roped in husband Bob Hartt, who agreed to be the applications coordinator, and helped to orchestrate the fitness challenge--to make sure we all stayed in shape. Tim McCorcle helped to officiate difficult decisions and financial matters. With a committee like that, how could I go wrong?

Our 2021 International Event was truly a success: 438 people registered, including more than 140 people who had never attended an SFL week, and many who had not attended for a long time! We received lots of positive feedback, including one person saying, "The spirit and friendship was surely the goal, and you succeeded! Fun on many levels!" Another attendee said, "I really enjoyed participating and connecting with everyone. I had that SFL feeling!"

The opening night featured an introductory video entitled "This is Ski for Light" and a show stopping song by Andrea Goddard, "The Edge," by Heidi Muller. The Norwegian Ambassador to the United States, Anniken Krutnes, offered a welcome from Norway to the group. We held six fitness classes: stretch, yoga, core strength, Sport-Cord and fitness with a stretch band, as well as a fitness challenge. Twelve special interest sessions included bread baking, climbing a mountain, dragon boating, and many more. Our live on-line auction raised more than $11,500! We organized Zoom rooms for informal socialization each evening--several lasted until the wee hours! We capped off the event with closing ceremonies, featuring singer/songwriter Jim Salestrom, a 100th birthday celebration for Charlie Wirth, and several well-deserved awards. We received greetings from Norway, from the Secretary General of Ridderweek, Anne-Kristin Wadahl, and a special appearance from the ski tracks at Beitostolen by Atle Hovi, CEO of the Beitostolen Resorts. He was at a virtual start line at the beginning of the 5 K track. The "start" was narrated by long-time SFL friend and leader of the Norwegian delegation, Svein Thorstensen. Many of these presentations can be found on this YouTube playlist and we'll be adding the special interest sessions to this playlist soon. There was even SFL gear to purchase for our virtual event, though the gear was real, not virtual. Thanks to Leslie Maclin, we sold about 80 snazzy royal blue headbands featuring our logo, and, due to Marion Elmquist's efforts, we even had SFL 2021 event shirts! Both of these items will be available in limited numbers in the sales room next year.

We learned that SFL can hold its annual event remotely, though we certainly hope we'll never have to do it again. A virtual event is not an adequate substitute for the real thing. But we are looking at trying to integrate some Zoom programming to keep us connected throughout the year. For example, on March 14th, Marvin Liewer presented his "Living a Self-Sufficient Lifestyle" special interest session via the Zoom platform for those who may have missed it during the SFL event. Perhaps we can also allow people who cannot attend in-person to Zoom into some sessions at our live events if our venue's Internet connection allows. We have conducted a brief survey to obtain your ideas and creative thinking, and you will find a summary of the findings of the survey later in this issue of the Bulletin.

We hope to see you next year-really, not virtually!

A Break in the Clouds, Our Light of Hope and Possibility Shines Brighter Than Ever!

By Jamie Sanada

"Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear, like you could fall and no one would hear? Well, let that lonely feeling wash away. Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay. 'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand you can reach--reach out your hand. And, oh, someone will come runnin', and I know they'll take you home.

Even when the dark comes crashin' through, when you need a friend to carry you, and when you're broken on the ground, you will be found. So let the sun come streaming in, 'cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again, Lift your head and look around, you will be found.

There's a place where we don't have to feel unknown, and every time that you call out you're a little less alone. If you only say the word, from across the silence your voice is heard.

Out of the shadows, the morning is breaking and all is new, all is new. It's filling up the empty, and suddenly I see that all is new, all is new.

You are not alone, you are not alone, you are not alone...

Even when the dark comes crashin' through, when you need someone to carry you, when you're broken on the ground, you will be found. So let the sun come streaming in, 'cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again, if you only look around, you will be found."

The above lyrics are to the song, "You Will Be Found," from the musical, "Dear Evan Hansen." I first heard this song when I went to the 2019 "The Man, The Music, The Show," concert by Hugh Jackman, (one of my favorite actors), where he performed a fabulous rendition of it.

I've recently been going through some tough personal situations and, amidst it all, I remembered this beautiful piece, and started playing it a lot. I really began to pay attention to the lyrics and their meaning. It dawned on me that it is one of many songs that seems a perfect anthem for SFL.

Ski for Light, and the opportunities to attend Ski Week, have always seemed to find me at those times when I really do need them most. My inaugural adventure in Truckee, California, and Reno, Nevada, in 2018, found me adrift, beset by two years of tremendous life-altering loss and upheaval, which had fundamentally changed my life forever.

And then there is 2021...

I, like just about everyone in the entire world, had spent nearly the whole of the past year adjusting to a so-called "new normal," and all of the physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual stresses that such a dark, shattering, global disaster has wrought upon us all. People with physical challenges, like so many of us here at SFL, have likely had some particularly unique difficulties navigating and getting through it all safely and effectively. Kudos to those out there who have gotten it figured out!

Now enter Ski for Light! Thank goodness for the organization, for the board, for the planning committee, and for other members, who are the ultimate jacks of all trades! Because of their hard work and dedication, we were treated to an event that we could attend safely from the comfort of our own homes, or wherever these strange times happened to find us. And the virtual gathering definitely did not disappoint! My personal experience was deeply imbued with all the heart and spirit that Ski for Light truly is. The many special interest sessions were a virtual smorgasbord of topics, knowledge, and information. This, for a while, at least, was able to take me out of my much smaller world that currently consists mainly of four walls and a roof, (for which I am, nonetheless, deeply and humbly grateful, although I am prone to frequent bouts of restless cabin fever these days). Most important was how, during that short half-week, the rich and varied content and activities provided the perfect "staycation" I have needed so very much for such a long time. It got me out of my head and into my heart. The Friday evening auction was a thoroughly delightful chance to attempt to get my fix of retail therapy, while also hoping for the opportunity to make a difference for an organization that has become so dear to my heart. Incidentally, I didn't manage to win any of the items I'd had my eye on, but it was so very fun and entertaining to try. Never in my life would I have imagined that grapefruits could be such a lucrative and valuable commodity!

All this and so much more made the 2021 virtual gathering memorable; but, what truly touched and inspired my heart was how the entire thing, from the start of the opening ceremonies to the very end of the final social chat following the closing program, brought back so much of what I felt and experienced during my 2018 adventure. Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to attend an SFL event since that amazing initiation. Though I have desperately longed to come back each year. I never imagined, and was delighted to find that, even though getting together virtually lacked the experience of physically being and skiing together, nevertheless, the heart, fire, spirit, sense of possibility, and so much more I can't even put into words, was all there waiting to be found again, and it all came flooding back in an overwhelmingly wonderful rush, literally within minutes of the start of the opening ceremony!

I've super enthusiastically joined the call of those wanting and hoping for more virtual opportunities to meet with my SFL family more often throughout the year. Whether that be in the form of informal monthly or bimonthly, etc. virtual social meetups, special interest webinars, some combination of the two, or some other wonderful opportunities the ever ingenious Ski for Light community can dream up. I personally hope and look forward to more frequent chances to meet and get to know more of us. Getting to keep up with folks I know, and opening the door to making even more new friends and connections would give me something I'd really look forward to and would cherish throughout my year.

To sum it all up, Ski for Light is a place where you are not unknown, where your voice really can be heard, and it's a place where you are definitely not alone! I found my strength, my courage, my determination, my possibilities, my voice. SFL is where I could find myself again.

And to all future SFL family members, Ski for Light is a community where you have the chance at an experience where you just might say that, "You Will Be Found," too!

Editor's note: It appears Jamie is not alone in her desire to connect! Here's another word from our amazing 2021 event Chair!

Results are In; SFL Virtual Event Survey

By Bonnie O'Day

Thank you very much to the 119 of you who completed the SFL post-event Survey. About 56% were skiers, 39% were guides, and the rest were worker-bees or others. Here is a summary of the results.

* The vast majority (82%) heard about the event through the SFL email list. About 29% saw it on social media, and 28% heard about it from friends and family. (Respondents could check more than one response.)

* Respondents participated in a wide variety of activities; Almost 90% attended special interest sessions, about 75% attended the opening and closing sessions, and over 60% attended the fitness classes and live auction. Respondents had positive things to say about these events. Some suggestions for improvement included better participant muting during sessions, addition of lower bid items for the auction, and more time for interaction among participants.

* The vast majority found the advance materials helpful in planning what to attend, and appreciated the daily agenda with the links for easy access.

* About 82% used a computer or laptop to access the event, and many attendees used more than one method. Over 70% said accessing the event was easy, and only 2% said it was somewhat or very difficult.

* When asked what virtual events during the year would interest them, 80% said they would enjoy special interest sessions, and about 60% said they wanted content around fitness, focused on strength or flexibility. About 50% said they would like a preview of future in-person events, and 45% would enjoy a SFL monthly social hour.

* About 60% said they planned to attend the 2022 SFL event in Granby, Colorado, and 30% said they were considering it. That's 90% who are either planning to attend or thinking about it!

SFL leaders will discuss this feedback and will consider other virtual connections we could make throughout the year.

Ridderrenn

By Marion Elmquist

As most of you know, Ski for Light is based on the Norwegian program started by blind Norwegian entertainer, Erling Stordahl, for fellow blind cross-country skiers. Like the SFL International event, Ridderweek is an annual, week-long event that includes many features similar to our program. But, wait! There's more! It also features a biathlon and a 5 and 10 K race for women and men. On Friday, there's an Alpine slalom race and picnic at the downhill ski area across from the main hotel. Adding to the festivities, there are awards ceremonies accompanied by the King's drum and bugle corps. There's a talent show and the ever-popular auction, held on Friday afternoon. Race day is a 20 kilometer event on Saturday, however, there are shorter routes available, too. And, like SFL, Saturday night is a closing banquet and awards ceremony.

Each year, Ski for Light sends two guides and two skiers to the Ridderrenn, and many others also attend to enjoy the wonderful skiing and Norwegian culture. After the week in Beitostolen, we spend a couple of days in Oslo, sightseeing. The hotel where we stay is centrally located, and is near the parliament building, the king's castle, and the harbor, which is lined with shops and restaurants.

Even though the 2020 and 2021 events had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, plans are already being made to resume the program in all its glory next year. The dates for the 2022 Ridderweek are March 13 - 20, 2022. For more information or to express interest in joining the group, contact me at 515-279-3681 or at MLElmquist@aol.com.

It's a great trip!

Focus on Fitness Gets a Newbie Ready to Zoom for Real in 2022

By Bob Hartt

A great benefit of our 2021 virtual event was the more than 85 visually impaired registrants who joined us online, but who have not yet experienced SFL on real snow. Like many others, I had heard of Ski for Light for several years, but had let anxiety about the unknown--as well as mundane commitments of everyday life--keep me from giving it a try until I attended my first ski week in 2001. Our 2021 virtual event was a chance for many "newbies" to get a better idea of what we are all about before committing their time and resources to attend a live ski week. I was delighted to learn that our virtual event helped to motivate one of my friends to make definite plans to zoom with us on real snow in 2022.

Just as many of us do at our SFL International Week, my friend, Terri, got ready for the day with our stretch class meisters Nino Pacini and Doug Powell, and, of course, she also attentively followed the mellow voice guidance of our Yoga guru, Marie Pacini. While Terri enthusiastically attended several special interest sessions, she really wanted to learn how to start getting in better shape for our 2022 event at Snow Mountain Ranch. She diligently attended every one of our Focus on Fitness sessions. Well, her enthusiasm was contagious, and it motivated my wife, Bonnie, and me to propose a weekly call with Terri so we could cycle through all the audio described fitness sessions to start toning up with her. Every Tuesday morning, we connect with Terri via phone to do one of the Focus on Fitness workouts, and we commit that each of us will do a session on our own at least one additional day each week.

We started with John Elliot's resistance band class. Of course, we use the stretch band with the SFL logo on it--the one provided to all who registered for the virtual event. After listening to John's great audio description and following along a few times, we have all the moves committed to memory. So now, for example, when doing three sets of John's "dying bug" exercise, the three of us take turns calling out the arm and leg movements to get to 12 repetitions in each set. We also stop to poke fun at each other, to catch our breath, and to banter back and forth between sets.

Betsy Fischer's Core Strength and Balance class is the one that makes us break a sweat. While it is not recommended to do her full routine every single day, there is one exercise she said could be done daily, and it is a challenge that really strengthens your abdominal, or core, muscles. You simply get on the floor facing down in a push-up position. You raise your torso off the floor with your toes supporting you at one end and your hands or forearms supporting you at the other end. Then with your back straight and holding your belly in, you hold yourself in that position for 30 seconds or more. Who ever thought keeping still for 30 seconds in such a position could be such a challenge!

Terri also invested in the SportCord that Scott Fisher demonstrated in his virtual session, so Bonnie and I joined her with the one we share. We especially like Scott's suggestion to switch between practicing your double pole technique by pulling with both hands simultaneously, and alternating with left and right hand as you would with the classic diagonal stride pole technique. Doing these movements got me daydreaming big time about the long, lazy downhill stretch aptly named Pole Creek on the five-kilometer trail at Snow Mountain Ranch. On a still and sunny day with nice tracks, it seems like you can just glide forever while practicing your double poling, and then switch to the classic diagonal stride to rest different muscle groups. Then it's back to the Nordic Center for a nice hot chocolate, or other beverage of your choice with your SFL comrades.

Anyway, after waking up from my wonderful daydream, I think how lucky we are to have both new and old friends with whom we can share the Ski for Light experience. With our newbie, Terri, to keep us energized, but still observing our mask and social distance protocols, Focus on Fitness is helping us put the pandemic in the rear-view mirror, and prepare for the crisp winter morning when we can turn our SFL daydreams into reality on real snow!

By the way, if you want to know what John Elliot's Dying Bug move is, grab your SFL resistance band, call a friend, and view this YouTube playlist to see John's presentation. You will actually find all six of the Focus on Fitness sessions on this playlist.

Passings

Inger Moen, a Norwegian-born long-time SFL guide who lived in Altadena, California, died on February 11, 2021, at the age of 85. She guided at SFL 13 times, most recently in 2014. Sheila Styron remembers, "Inger was my first SFL guide, and we became good friends following the event. Learning to ski with Inger significantly contributed to my passion for cross-country skiing and SFL." Rest in peace, Inger!

Robert Buchanan, of Columbia, South Carolina,, passed away on January 31, 2021, at home after a short illness, at the age of 83. Bob was a many-time visually-impaired participant and a former member of the SFL Board of Directors. He was the first chair of what became the SFL Foundations committee, the group charged with seeking grant funding of the SFL program from non-profit foundations. He created a successful program that is still quite active and vital today. He was a true Southern gentleman, who will be sadly missed by his many friends and his family.

Editor's Note: Reflecting on our virtual event this past January, Marvin Liewer began to recall some of his fondest memories of over 30 years with the greater SFL community, and brings us this story of an unforgettable summer adventure!

Mountains Bring a Natural High

By Marvin Liewer

David Brown of Eldorado, Arkansas, hikes in the mountains because it is a personal challenge, and it is the only way he can see them. In August of 1998, Dave and I joined a group of outdoor enthusiasts for the 4th annual Trek for Light in the Colorado Rockies. I volunteered as Dave's guide and hiking partner for a camping trip in the Rawah Wilderness of Northern Colorado. What made this trip unusual is that half of the 22 people in the group, including Dave, were blind. I was one of the eleven, fully sighted people who would act as guides for those with visual impairments. We planned to hike a 25-mile route in a five-day trip. Each hiker-guide pair were outfitted with a llama and panniers, which carried our heavier camping gear.

Packing llamas, hiking rocky trails, setting up tents in the dark, and coping with rain seemed like a big challenge for me. I couldn't imagine what it would be like for someone who could not see. We met in Ft. Collins, Colorado, received training in the use of llamas, and stayed overnight in a campground prior to leaving on our wilderness trek. This gave us an opportunity to set up camp, to hike for a few miles, and to become familiar with guiding techniques. My partner elected to follow using 2 hiking staffs. I held one end of a staff, and Dave held the other. This allowed him to follow me at a similar pace, and to keep a constant distance. It also gave him some sense of direction. He held the second staff in his other hand, using it for increased balance and to search for obstacles in the trail. On smooth ground, we moved at a good walking pace. In rough rocky terrain (which was the norm) we walked slower, and it became necessary to constantly tell him about rocks, mud, tree roots, and other obstacles. I was pleased at how quickly Dave became accustomed to my instructions and was able to maintain consistent, good footing.

On Monday, August 10, our real adventure began as we prepared to depart for the wilderness. When it came time to pack the llama, I handed Dave the llama's halter rope and pack saddle. I did this for two reasons: I wanted to see how Dave would do, but more important, I was not yet comfortable with those wooly creatures from South America. Dave quickly had the pack saddle cinched on the llama. Quite frankly, I was impressed, both with Dave's ability and with the animal's calm, docile nature. A few minutes later, we were heading up the trail. I was in the lead. Dave followed, guided by my hiking staff, and the llama brought up the rear, tethered to Dave by the halter rope. Seven miles and over 2000 feet of elevation gain, and we would be at our first camp. The rocks, steep climb, and high altitude made it a challenge physically and mentally. A thunderstorm (common in the mountains) added to the outdoor experience. At 7 p.m., we arrived at our campsite, tired, wet, and cold, but in good spirits. The llamas were staked in a grassy meadow where they could graze during the night. We set up our small tents, filtered water, and prepared our evening meal. Sleep came easily, in spite of being in an environment we were not accustomed to.

We enjoyed good weather for most of the trip. It was frosty in the mornings, bright and sunny by mid-morning, and almost hot by the middle of the afternoon. The scenery was spectacular and ever changing. As we approached timberline the odor of the coniferous forest gave way to the fresh breezes of the alpine. Wildflowers painted the mountain meadows with a mix of brilliant colors. Dave ran his hand over the smooth bark of the aspen tree, the rough corrugations of the Englelman Spruce, and the delicate petals of the Colorado Columbine. He could hear the roar of the mountain streams as the crystal clear water cascaded down the mountain. He shivered as that same, icy water swirled around his legs when wading a stream was necessary. Yes, he was seeing the mountains in a way that no one could from an automobile with or without the use of eyes.

We spotted a band of mountain sheep above Twin Crater Lakes. By using terrain and brush, we were able to get so close that we could hear the clatter of their hooves as they ran across the rocky ground. A baby lamb bleated for its mother. We used our ears, as well as our eyes, to see those sheep.

The high point of the trip, both physically and emotionally, was lunch at Grassy Pass. At 11,300 feet above sea level, this was the highest altitude we would reach. It was a spectacular setting. We were exhilarated, knowing that we had successfully made this altitude and were now going downhill. Gina Bevilaqua, a gifted singer, was one of the guides with the group. She started to sing the theme song from "The Sound of Music." Conversation quickly ceased and we sat there, motionless, listening to her sing. The wind died down, and the world seemed to stop for a few moments while she lifted our spirits to new heights with the beauty of her voice. I removed my glasses to wipe a tear. I was not alone. It was a moment I will never forget.

Two more days and we were down the mountain, packing our gear in vehicles for the trip home. I was not ready to leave. I had experienced the mountains in a way I could not have done alone, and had gained new friends in the process.

Driving home across Nebraska I saw the sun setting in the west. The clouds scattered above the horizon filtered the sun's rays into streaks of gold, orange, and red. I recalled a blind woman's telling me how vividly she remembers the last sunset she saw before her eyes ceased to function. I parked the car and soaked up every visible color in the western sky. Again, I was filled with emotion. Life is temporary. Someday, I, too, will see my last sunset.
