As we approach the weekend, a sense of calm begins to settle over us here at MK as we prepare for whatever the weekend has in store: skiing, hiking, plans with the family, Sunday night hockey, beers with friends, and all the good things that weekends have come to stand for. Allowing our minds some freedom from the daily working grind, we'd like to open up our blog to allow you all to leave some feedback for us. Tell us what your favorite style of MK is, least favorite, rants, raves, love and hate, we want to hear it, and we care, as long it's truthful. What recommendations do you have for us? We value the opinions and feedback that we receive from our loyal customer base, so leave a comment and let us know what's on your mind. Have a great weekend!

Barkley Robinson Joins Ambassador Team
If you live in Colorado or the Rocky Mountain region and are an avid mountain-biker, you've likely heard or read about Barkley Robinson at some point. Our newest MK Ambassador resides in Steamboat Springs and has all but claimed the Town Mountain Bike Series as his own, winning the overall championship 4 years in a row. Barkley is a pro level mountain biker and a category 1 road racer, a former member of the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team and most importantly, an active member in the community and a role model to local athletes of all ages.
Other than ripping the single track, Barkely is an alpine and nordic skier. The nordic skiing is excellent training for mind and body and a great way to keep in shape. Barkley supports his outdoor addictions by slinging homes as a Broker Associate in Steamboat. We look forward to tracking Barkley's success throughout the upcoming biking months and wish him the best of luck.

Volunteering with Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep
The sheep in Chaffee County, Colorado have been a part of the DOW's Sheep Bait Project for over 25 years. What they do is "bait" the sheep at various sites with alpha and apple pulp. Generally the bait program is administered in January and February. Once the herd has increased in size, the DOW officers and a few volunteers medicate the pulp to treat lung worm disease. The sheep ingest the medication and the 
disease is treated. I have been a volunteer with the DOW for almost 10 years. Last year in February we ear-tagged and collared the sheep and the DOW staff took blood and fecal samples of the sheep. I ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and managed to get head-butted by a ram...that is another story all together...
This post came from a MK fan, who liked her pants so much that she thought we should see them in action. Leah Cerise is a volunteer with the Department of Wildlife and works as a fly fishing guide in the Leadville, CO area.
