Desert Escape

11/25 to 12/12/2020 – Grete and I needed to get out after a hectic fall semester of graduate school and roughly 9 months of COVID driven local-only living. We weighed the options for safe and responsible travel, ending up deciding that a roadtrip to the desert was reasonable. So, we packed up Vanilla Bean with […]

The Forgotten Season

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 […]

The White Rim

11/20 to 11/22/14 – After a failed attempt at the Idaho Hot Springs route, Jonny and I pondered what to do with our bikes and free time.  We dreamed of a place where there was less snow, or even no snow… And of course, the Utah desert offered a promise of dryness and beauty, even […]

The Kokopelli Trail

10/12/2013 to 10/17/2013 – While having a glorious conversation with Jonny Cromwell in mid-September, discussing adventures during his summer in Glacier Point, Alaska and his plans (or lack there of) for the fall and winter, we came to the conclusion that another bicycle trip was in order.  A couple weeks later, Grete and I happened […]

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, […]

Quick Snovernight

11/28/12 to 11/29/12 – Well, I couldn’t resist and had to toss up a couple pictures of a most excellent winter snow-biking adventure last night.  Rode from my house in the valley up Mill Creek and enjoyed seeing the transition out of the city and away from the commotion! Cousteau is absolutely loving the snow […]

More Skiing?

11/19/12 – I know, I should not be posting more ski photos… I can’t resist though because the skiing was so good and the stoke is high! So anyways, here are some shots from a tour with Jesse, and his buddies Andy and Nat, out in the Cardiff drainage of the Wasatch.  We enjoyed 100% […]

Goodness Gracious

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, […]
