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"1/6 to 1/9/2023 – I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to poke around in quite a few of the mountain ranges of the North American west, but for some unclear reason I have always just driven past the Tetons. My younger self idealized classic steep skiing there and certainly put it on […]

The hut looked empty that weekend and there was still decent snow coverage so I figured why not? Burket […]

Mike was gifted a hut reservation at the Bench Hut in the Sawtooth Moutnains of Idaho as a gift from his lovely wife Lindsey and he kindly invited a small crew out to enjoy […]

Therefore, come spring time, there was plenty of skiing still to do (and plenty more currently). Here are photos from a handful of great spring outings in the […]
Read more "Hanging On To Winter…"5/2/2016 – I finally got the chance to get out with the local mountain legend, and my awesome boss, Don Scharfe.

His passion and skills are self taught and come simply from years spent in zealous wandering in […]
