Read more "Carrying A Camera At Work"1/9/2012 & 1/14/2012 – So far, my tours with Matt Primomo have been excellently adventurous, and our late-start afternoon tour only further reinforced this feeling.

Read more "Some Mid-March Keepers"3/13/2011 – When you head out in the morning with a beautiful peak in mind, its hard to back down and call it off when the conditions aren’t safe.

Read more "The Powder Shut Down"5/20/2010 – Jonny and I set out on this beautiful spring day with the goal in mind of bagging both Dragon’s Tail and Dead Elk couloirs up in RMNP.
