3/18 to 3/19/2023 – There are certain ski lines that linger in the back of your mind for a long while. This is one of those ski lines: Grey Wolf Peak’s West Couloir. This little beauty is a Western Montana classic that has been well publicized on the internet ever since RandoSteve posted up a […]
Read more "Grey Wolf"8/3 to 8/19/2022 – Another year, another tandem tour! For 2022 we were torn on a variety of places and but ended up choosing Croatia. Then, in the final week before the trip we perused the forecasted weather… and it looked like a prolonged scorcher… so we pivoted within the same flights to the higher […]
Read more "Dober Dan!"11/25 to 12/12/2020 – Grete and I needed to get out after a hectic fall semester of graduate school and roughly 9 months of COVID driven local-only living. We weighed the options for safe and responsible travel, ending up deciding that a roadtrip to the desert was reasonable. So, we packed up Vanilla Bean with […]
Read more "Desert Escape"9/20 to 10/7/2021 – It’s Possible. A simple statement that became the mantra of our bicycle tour along the Montañas Vacias route in Spain. These words seemed to embody the Spanish lifestyle with their casual optimism. These words were exactly what we needed after a couple of years of intense focus in graduate school and […]
Read more "“Its Possible”"7/20 to 8/8/2019 – Slow down. Life gets away from us quickly and time slips away. Close friends move and shake and, suddenly it seems, they haven’t seen each other in a year or more. Jonny and Leslie have been two of our closest friends for a gosh-darn long-while and are so close they’re really […]
Read more "The Dirty Dempster"3/22 to 3/25/2019 – As the cold days of winter begin to lengthened, the siren song of the deep heart of the mountains becomes unavoidable. The stints of sunshine and birds singing quickly remind us that the mountains are opening their arms to us. It gently lulls us into a false comfort with the assumed […]

Burket, Brett and I were craving some of that time outside, so we tossed together a quick 3-day/2-night bikepacking trip around the Yaak. Winding through old growth stands of larch and cedar, the empty stretches of dirt logging roads brought peace to our […]
Read more "Yaaktastic!"9/18 to 9/19/2018 – I’ve now had the good fortune to work the Sperry Glacier spring mass balance trip 4 years in a row, but had not yet had the opportunity to get up to Sperry for its fall measurements. This fall was different. With any trip up to the glacier, weather matters most and […]
Read more "Fall Sperry Glacier Mass Balance Trip"This post is going to be a hefty one… It ought to cover all the hiking and backpacking (where I happened to bring a camera) from 2018. So here we go: 5/19 to 5/20/2018 – Grete and I had the itch to get out camping, even though there was still a good bit of snow […]
Read more "A Whole Bunch of Wandering… By Foot"9/2 to 9/4/2018 – I’ve been itching to put this trip together since moving to the Flathead Valley a few years ago and riding my first lap on the classic Napa-to-Wire section of trail. Alpine Trail 7 is a glorious 70 mile strip of dirt woven along the crest of the Swan Mountains. It runs […]
