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 […]
Read more "The Taste of the Tetons"5/5 to 5/8/2022 – I received an unexpected message from Burket a few days before this trip asking if I had any interest in a last minute booking of the Asulkan Hut off Rogers Pass, BC. The hut looked empty that weekend and there was still decent snow coverage so I figured why not? Burket […]
Read more "Empty Asulkan Weekend"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 […]

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"4/1 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) […]
Read more "The Yoho Traverse"2/13 to 2/15/2016 – After a solid month of routine work, skiing, eating and sleeping Grete and I were needing something to change it up. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I booked Yurtski’s Lupine yurt in the southern Swan Range for the weekend. As plans evolved (in the last couple days before the trip) we ended […]
Read more "Will You Be My Valentine at Yurtski?"December 2012 to April 2013 – My second winter out in the Wasatch I skied alot. I was fortunate to meet a new (and always available) friend and touring partner – Jesse Dudley – who was just as stoked to get out and after the mountains! The season also offered the most snow of my three […]
