11/10/12 & 11/11/12 – I’m going to start this post off a bit different because I’m too excited about ski season to contain myself and showing restraint in not posting photos of fresh snow would just be downright awful. Therefore, I will skip many of the updates that needed to happen – Hawaii, Mt. Massive, […]
Read more "Goodness Gracious"4/29/12 – After a solid week of schralping around the Cascades, Jonny and I set our sights at Mt. Hood to cap off the trip. Although it’s dwarved by many of the Cascade volcanoes, the mighty Wyeast held a special spot in Jonny’s heart after skiing on her lower flanks all season long; slowly learning […]
Read more "Skiing in the Hood"4/24/12 to 4/27/12 – Words by Jonny Cromwell, Photos by Yours Truely It was a muted grey Tuesday morning in central Washington. Clouds spilling over from Stevens Pass speckled the hazy blue sky, alternately hiding and revealing the late April sun. It was actually pretty warm out too; one of those surprisingly nice days during […]
Read more "Enchanted Lights"4/21/12 to 4/22/12 – Below lies the story of Jonny Cromwell and I’s first successful ascent of Mt. Ranier. There are no photos or words of the summit or the descent, because the shared spiritual experience was too overwhelming to be portrayed authentically in either medium. Words by Jonny Cromwell and photos by myself. Please […]
Read more "“This is Happening”"4/15/2012 – As my season in the Wasatch drew to a close, I still knew that I had to stand on top of Mt. Superior before I could call it a successful winter. Sunday was my only day off that week, and therefore was my last good chance at bagging the peak. Sunday was also […]
Read more "Wandering Up Superior"4/8/12 to 4/9/12 – Another weekend and another couple classics in the Wasatch needed to be slayed. On Sunday, I opted for a quick morning tour and ski of the Argenta Slide Path in Big Cottonwood Canyon. This 3,250′ slide path was quick and easy to ascend, and offered quite the variety of snow conditions […]
Read more "A Couple More Weekend Classics"4/2/2012 – After saving for most of the winter and a couple of boot sizing issues, I finally got my new touring setup mounted and ready for shredding. The setup is: Skilogik Howitzer 186s with Dynafit TLT Vertical ST bindings, Dynafit ZZero TC4 boots, and my beloved BCA magic carpet skins! Being that the skis […]
Read more "Breaking in the Howitzers"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 […]
