Hanging On To Winter…

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 […]

Spring in Glacier – 2016

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 […]

Some Family Outings

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 […]

The Lovely Month of September

9/3 to 9/20/2016 – Suddenly it was September, and the long, warm days of summer quickly transitioned into crisp and ever-shortening days of autumn.  With this change in season, came a renewed vigor for the outdoors (because fall is the BEST time of year to play in the mountains). Grete and I joined a large […]

The Enchantments Traverse

8/15/2016 – While on a relaxing week-long tip to the old family cabin on Lake Chelan, Grete and I decided we had to get out into the Cascades for a day… Being that the Enchantments were only an hour or so away, and I had only seen the area under the cover of snow, it seemed like […]

Early Summer Adventuring…

5/8 to 6/8/2016 – Here is another collection of photos from day-trips early on this summer…  We’ve got a couple pictures from tandeming up Going to the Sun Road, a run up in the Cabinets Wilderness, as well as a jog up to Triple Divide Pass and Medicine Grizzly Lake in Glacier.  That lovely lady Grete really likes […]

The Island Lake Loop

5/29 to 5/30, 2016 – Earlier in the summer, I had the opportunity to get out on a couple of sweet overnighter bike rides.  Of course the photos are a couple months late, but here is another quick posting! This lovely little loop ride travels from Whitefish and wanders along mostly dirt backroads out to Island Lake, then […]

The Yoho Traverse

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) […]
