Temperature: 58F
Conditions:
Warm April sunshine, hard gray concrete.
The days are getting longer and warmer everywhere, and here in the midwest its been spring since early March. Getting a little stir-crazy I managed to round up a couple of my friends for a skate session. I'll let the pictures tell the story. To see more: login, or register for a free account so...
Sun, 03/18/2012 Muskegon/Grand Haven/Holland Skate parks
Temperature: 75F
Conditions:
Dry, Hard, Concrete...
Since I can't be out west harvesting corn right now, and since sitting on the couch every day for hours on end gets old, I figured I'd get out with some friends and take pictures of them skateboarding. I skated pretty hard until I was about 23 or so, but never got very good. Still, I can't help...
Mon, 02/13/2012 Loveland Ski Area
Temperature: 20F
Conditions:
Pseudo pow day aka pow day for the '11/'12 season....
Got a chance to meet and ride with Klondick and his girl at Loveland the day before Valentines Day. Fortunately for us, 'ol Ma Nature was feeling generous and dropped somewhere in the 6"-8" range on top of a nice soft base. While not real gnarly (chair 9 STILL hadn't opened) it was definitely one...

Cold, dry pow....Soft and nice....

Temperature: 29F
Conditions:
Sunshine, creamy pow, wind-affected chalk, and deep, deep unconsolidated facets.
Some Music to read along to...
Having a secret backcountry spot like the stash reminds me of being in highschool when I did a lot of fishing and had my secret spots to find rising trout, spawning salmon, and the like. I'm always cautious about who I tell about the stash as I realize that for every...
Mon, 01/02/2012 Mt. Trelease
Temperature: 36F
Conditions:
Bluebird skies, warm sunshine, and creamy pow
With the 2011/2012 winter getting off to a slow start, Cory and I started looking at some low-hanging fruit right across the highway from Loveland Ski Area. We skinned up Mt. Trelease for two laps through some mellow, low-angle terrain. It was a great day to be out for a tour. Thanks for looking.
Mon, 12/05/2011 Wolf Creek
Temperature: 1F
Conditions:
4 feet of super-light, unconsolidated Colorado fluff.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Its been over a month since the last significant storm in the front range, and a serious jones for a powder day had set in. Obsessively watching the satellite hoping for some moisture only to be let down again and again finally paid off as Wolf Creek...
