3/24/2012 to 3/26/2012 – A few of the boys from Colorado swung in for a couple days of skiing en route to a couple of huts in Montana during the annual spring break hut trip and we ripped up some savage tours in Wasatch spring slush. Unfortunately for the crew – Old Man Reed, Daan, […]
Read more "When Colorado Invades"2/7/2012 to 2/19/2012 – Just a couple more photos of daily life on the patrol. The first photo is of Brendan Finneran ready to tear shit up in the Headwall! Put more cleanly, he is enjoying the variety of patrol work and is headed out to cut up a down tree after a wind-storm. The […]
Read more "Another Peek At Patrolling"1/20/2012 to 2/18/2012 – Wow, its definitely been too long since my last update… but whatcha gonna do? To update you folks, I haven’t been shooting nearly as many photos as I ought to, have been working much too much (19 of the last 21 days), and have been messing around with shooting video (so […]
Read more "Carrying A Camera At Work"1/9/2012 & 1/14/2012 – So far, my tours with Matt Primomo have been excellently adventurous, and our late-start afternoon tour only further reinforced this feeling. Starting at the trailhead around 1pm, our group of Matt, Todd, Laura, and I headed out and began to explore. We hopped through drainages and skied shots the entire afternoon […]
Read more "Some More Exploration in the Wasatch"12/4/2011 to 12/26/2011 – Here are a few photos from a couple of recent tours out into the Wasatch backcountry. The first photo is of Scott Anderson enjoying some funky sugar pow in the Silver Fork Meadows on December 4th. A couple of the old Niwot Ridge crew were en-route to San Francisco and swung […]
Read more "Wasatch Backcountry Adventures"11/29/2011 – What a slow start to winter. No snow in Utah, no backcountry skiing yet, and no patrol work to be had. Fortunately, I have a great family and happened upon the opportunity to enjoy Thanksgiving back in the Northwest. Also fortunate, is that my beloved ski companion, Mr. Cromwell, was available for a […]
Read more "A Day in the Tatoosh"10/28/2011 – No more than two hours after having landed in Alaska (back on October 3rd), I was out hiking around the Mendenhall Valley with a couple of my WEMT classmates. The glacier was a powerful piece of geologic and climatological history that immediately instilled in me the belief that Alaska is something special and […]
Read more "The Mighty Mendenhall Glacier"10/23/2011 to 10/24/2011 – When you are stuck in a classroom in an abandoned gas station for nearly 8 hours a day, you really feel the urge to get outside and do something with your days off. Our WEMT class’ favorite weekend activities included going out for some afternoon drinking in Juneau and exploring the […]
Read more "The Blue Mussel Cabin"10/3/2011 to 10/31/2011 – With the culmination of rafting season came my first empty fall I’ve ever had, and with that, I felt an educational void. To fill this void, I headed to Juneau, AK to take a EMT + W (wilderness) class through the month of October. The month was largely spent inside the […]
Read more "Alaska and a WEMT"9/18/2011 to 9/22/2011 – As rafting season came to a close this year, I was presented with the first fall (in my entire life) where I had no class to attend. So what do I do? I sign up for another class… except this one is in Alaska and instructs me on things that ought […]
