Ride Reports
Tue, 01/24/2012 Solitude Mountain Resort
Temperature: 30F
Conditions:
Choppy Pow
Ohh, back in Utah. The old stomping grounds. It always feels good to come back to this part of the World.
Like every year my wife, Kristin, and I go down to SLC for the Outdoor Retailer show. We always add on some days to be able to ride the best snow on earth. This year it was a little scary...
Thu, 01/05/2012 Nomansland, between Alaska and Yukon
Temperature: 22F
Conditions:
20" of fresh POW
Had a late start and weather wasn't the best. 25-30mph winds with 50mph gusts but the snow was good. The night before we got 20" on top so there was no backing out. Driving through 2' wind drifts and parts of the Pass with 0 visibility we made it to a small zone that is an easy access from the...
Sun, 11/13/2011 Northern BC Backcountry
Temperature: 19F
Conditions:
Hip deep blower pow!
We had a late start in the mourning. We are just a little rusty getting all the gear together. We drove up the Highway and assest the situation. Snow cover looked good so we stopped at a zone called Fraiser Meadows. For a warm up we had to dig out our parking spot.
Thu, 03/17/2011 Powder Mountain, The Canyons, Mt. Rose
Conditions:
Epic
This is long over due. That is why I am packing three Ride Reports into one.
Powder Mountain was awesome as usual. Unfortunately the roof came down on us and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. The mourning was great and I would have had more footage if I would have checked my...
Mon, 11/15/2010 AK Backcountry
Temperature: 25F
Conditions:
Crusty with 2" powder on top
It was a quick but good day today. Skinned up to the top strapped in and headed down. The goal of the trip was to see if there is enough snow and to try out the GoPro Hero HD. I have to say I love that camera. If you have the money don't think about it and buy it. Photo and film shot with the...
Sat, 04/03/2010 Valdez
Temperature: 28F
Conditions:
Shadow goodness, Sun bakedness
Sorry for the lateness of this ride report. Work is starting to take over my time, which means summer is around the corner and for some reason it hurts more this year then any other! I am not sure why that is maybe because this winter I worked really hard to get my turns. When I worked for the...
Sun, 03/28/2010 Mount Sima
Temperature: 30F
Conditions:
2" on hardpack
Ok, I don't want to worry anybody. Nobody was literally caught in an avalanche, but Kristin and I got trapped by an avi in Whitehorse. The problem was that the road home was covered by a shit load of snow and the snow removal guys seemed to have that day off. I say that because in the morning...
