Milano Cortina 2026: Warming Winter Olympics | Climate Central

The 2026 Winter Olympics start on February 6 in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy — in a much warmer climate than when the Winter Games were first held there in 1956.

I’ll soon be heading to the stunning #Skeikampen in #Norway for a week in the snow. Hopefully, there will be as much snow as in this old photo—also from Norway.
But which camera should I bring? Tough decision: the Fuji XT4, Hasselblad 500, Rollei 35, or maybe go all out with the Linhof Technica 4x5? Or should I focus on video with an action cam and drone? Big decisions ahead!

#VancouverIsland Society for #Adaptive #Snowsports #nonprofit organization is opening up registrations for 2025/2026 season on October 9th! I'm excited to sign up for Nordic lessons again. VISAS offers subsidized programs for #PeopleWithDisabilities & it's the only way I can afford to participate. I'm very grateful for their program 💗

This season, they're offering snowshoeing lessons for Nordic students interested. I'm planning to sign up for that in addition to doing more X-country in a #sitski training.
I am up at Mt. Washington January 5-8, 2026 for the annual Herb Bradley Festival. It's a week-long event to promote adaptive Snowsports, used to get people of all ages & abilities having fun on the snow.
