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"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…"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?"12/1/2015 to 1/31/2016 – It was a mighty unusual transition back from Costa Rica’s hot, humid, sun-filled tropical climate to NW Montana’s cold, grey, snow-filled winter one… but we were really excited to be home again. We were easily distracted from our climatic concerns by the thing we missed the most while adventuring: our beloved big white […]
Read more "Winter So Far…"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 […]
Read more "The Forgotten Season"2/28 & 3/2/2015 – Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much snow up in Northwestern Montana recently, but -on the plus side- the fatbiking has been excellent. The trails have generally re-frozen or melted out and there is a quality weekly night group ride through Glacier Cyclery that we’ve been enjoying. Also, Grete and I grabbed the “Galloping Goober” […]
Read more "Fatbikes + Skiing = Adventure"3/2/14 to 3/8/14 – There is a certain special trip ski patroller’s can work to experience and it is called an ‘exchange.’ The basic idea is that one ski area will trade two of its patrollers with another ski area’s patrollers for a few days. As a visiting patroller your goal is to keep up (on the […]
Read more "Canadians Are Good People"A small set of photos from November, December, and early January winter adventuring with Grete… The adventures include: Airstreaming in Crested Butte, backcountry skiing in Washington, touring in Colorado’s beloved East Portal, and our first outing in Montana! Enjoy…
Read more "Some Early Season Skiing…"12/3/12 & 12/6/12 – Well the Wasatch continues to deliver solid skiing, even after a two week high-pressure snowpack scorcher… so I went skiing. The first couple shots are from the Monday after our ~5″ Sunday night storm. Jesse and I shredded Solitude out of freshies then headed out for quick afternoon laps in Silverfork, […]
