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 […]

A Couple More Tours

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 […]

Massive, […]

Wandering Up Superior

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 […]

A Couple More Weekend Classics

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 […]

Breaking in the Howitzers

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 […]
