2/4 to 2/10/2023 – With another kiddo on the way it was time that I got back up to see the Bomber family and to connect again with my best buddy Jonny. I flew up with a whole bunch of excitement regarding the new experiences of getting to meet June and getting to see Haines […]
Read more "Pre-Flo Yukon Extravaganza"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"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 […]
Read more "Desert Escape"3/21 to 3/25/2022 – As spring starts to peek its head from the slumber of each winter, the mountains begin to open their arms for all sorts of lovely skiing opportunities. Bigger objectives and more interesting locations quickly become the focus for many a backcountry connoisseur, and Uncle Hromadka and I are no different. With […]
Read more "Icefields for a few"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…"2/10 to 2/11/2017 – I had a nice little story written up about this excellent trip into the Wolverine Cabin in Ten Lakes… but then it mysteriously disappeared when I published the post… So here is the quick and dirty – Daan spontaneously flew in from Denver to visit Jonny and I (temporarily reuniting a good […]
Read more "A Quick Winter Walk into Ten Lakes"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"2/1 to 3/13/16 – Again, I’ve gotten behind on the blog. The reason for this delay is that good friends, plentiful adventures and great weather have forced me outside and away from my computer… schucks! Well, here goes another little posting about a whole bunch of wonderful wanderings out in the woods from mid-season this […]
Read more "Mid-Winter Goodness"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 […]
