Stuff that specifically deals with two planked mountain riding
3/14 to 3/15/2021 – There is nothing like great buddies, steep skiing, and a funky hut to get your head straight. 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 […]
Read more "Loin Cloth Mike and the Montana Toe Suckers"3/21 to 3/25/2022 – As spring starts to peek its head from the slumber of each winter, the mountains begin to open their arms for all sorts of lovely skiing opportunities. Bigger objectives and more interesting locations quickly become the focus for many a backcountry connoisseur, and Uncle Hromadka and I are no different. With […]
Read more "Icefields for a few"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 […]
Read more "Many to McDonald"4/26 to 4/30/2018 – Keeping along the lines of chronological order (and being way out of season) here is a real highlight trip of this last spring. A couple of weeks before this trip, I had the mad itch to get out for a multi-day adventure but wasn’t having much success locking anything down. Then […]
Read more "May Bob Marshall Snow Survey"Winter 2017/2018 – Ahhhhh schucks, I lost track of time and forgot to update the website with some of the adventures from this last winter. For the sake of escapism (from the July heat), here is a bunch of photos and some brief descriptions from some of last winter’s wanderings! First off the press is […]
Read more "Oops! Another Winter Flew By…"5/5 to 5/30/2017 – We had an excellent winter here in the Flathead Valley, with storm after storm rolling in and filling the mountains with plentiful snow. 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…"2/10 to 2/11/2017 – I had a nice little story written up about this excellent trip into the Wolverine Cabin in Ten Lakes… but then it mysteriously disappeared when I published the post… So here is the quick and dirty – Daan spontaneously flew in from Denver to visit Jonny and I (temporarily reuniting a good […]
Read more "A Quick Winter Walk into Ten Lakes"5/2/2016 – I finally got the chance to get out with the local mountain legend, and my awesome boss, Don Scharfe. This fella has a level mountain mastery that the community of the Flathead Valley respects and learns from. His passion and skills are self taught and come simply from years spent in zealous wandering in […]
Read more "Spring in Glacier – 2016"4/1 to 5/9/2016 – When you get a call from your best buddies proposing that they might come stay with you for a month, take them up on it. Then they’ll stay longer. And keep coming back. And that’s the best part. That was the case when Jonny and Leslie came back to town last […]
Read more "Some Family Outings"3/22 to 3/25/2016 – Being that we live so close to the border, Grete and I had a major Canadian itch to scratch this last ski season. We wanted to get our feet wet with Canadian ski traversing and hoped to get to see some gigantic glaciers too! Thankfully, we had friends (Anthony and Becca) […]
