Friends, enemies, skiers–it has been quite a while. A lot has happened–far too much to explain in this small space. But rest assured that I am back to update you on the travels and trials of the 2009’s top-ranked Jewish EISA skier and one of the country’s top ten cross country ski journalists.

I’m currently working as an intern at The Nation magazine in New York City, and I had a chance to report on the 350-related festivities here on Saturday. It was quite a thrill to see Middlebury Ski Team Advisor (yes, that’s his most important job) Bill McKibben up at the podium in the middle of Times Square, and I also got to catch up with his colleague and Middlebury Head Coach Andrew Gardner.

I thought I’d post some pictures that I shot of the event–these are of a march across the Brooklyn Bridge and a rally in Times Square. The story is here…

Climate change activists rally in Brooklyn Bridge Park (I think the guy in the middle is picking his nose…Hey–everybody's gotta do it…even 350 die-hards…)

Rob Lateiner makes a pretty convincing case of the need for global climate action

The Manhattan skyline made for a pretty nice backdrop for a demonstration

This guy is definitely a huge baller activist
