After our first night at the hut, which was filled with great food and fun, we awoke to clear skied and bright sunshine. We were psyched to have a day with good visibility near the beginning of our stay at ...

I know a lot of people are getting bummed out about the snowpack this winter, or lack there of it, but the bright side is that if you enter the 8th Annual Wasatch Powder Keg, you won’t have to ski waist deep power on 70mm waisted skis, which can be a bit cold on the…well…you [...]

I made it back to Jackson Hole with my bros today, safe and sound after a great trip to British Columbia and the Selkirks. We were late getting into the hut due to weather and missed one day of skiing (sort of), but we still [...]

Steve Romeo, Brian Ladd and Greg Hill check out the avalanche crown.
We were able to get out with Greg Hill and Aaron Chance from Revelstoke yesterday, before heading into the Fairy Meadows Hut today. And let me tell you, the avalanche conditions are little touchy right now. After some fresh ...

Well, it most certainly has been a trying last few days. I’d like to thank my bosses, Phil Leeds and Jeff Crabtree of Skinny Skis, for giving the time I needed to get my head straightened out. I’ve worked at the store for about 13 years now, so that should tell you what [...]

Even though I have no idea where Pebble Creek Ski Area is in Idaho, I have some friends that have attended this rando race in the past, and they say it was a fun time. And considering this is the last race before the Ski Mountaineering World Championships in Andora [...]

It is very hard for me to type these words right now, as it’s been a long time since someone close to me has passed on. Yeah, I’ve lost a lot of friends and acquaintances over the past few years, but none that I have really been that close to recently. Unfortunately, this [...]

During our day, we watched 7 people…in two different parties, climb up

I know a lot of you are watching the Olympics…or at least the part of the Olympics that NBC is broadcasting (which isn’t saying much unless you like figure skating), but you can also watch some of the things that go on behind the scenes with hosts and injured US SKi team members TJ ...

I’m a very happy Dynafit binding (and sometimes boot) user, but it’s always cool to see new innovations in concept and design being developed. I first heard about the SkiTrab TR1/2 binding about a year ago and this latest video shows a version that looks a bit more fine tuned. It ...

With a relatively slow start to the ski season, a marginal and sometimes sketchy snowpack, its’ been a little difficult to really get after it this year. Luckily, things are starting to turn around and I’ve slowly started to venture into some steeper and more exposed terrain. ...

I got out to scope out a line I’ve been wanting to ski on Fairshare Tower yesterday, an obscure peak/point that sits between Disappointment Peak and the Grand Teton. The sickter line I’ve been eyeballing isn’t quite ready yet, but my partner and I still had a fun day skiing ...

For all you Jackson rando racers, the Heather Paul Hillclimb Series starts tonight! These are pretty low key events, so there’s no pressure to wear your race suit and or kill yourself for the sake of victory. Just a good old time with friends and a time to remember Heather Paul…who unfortunately ...
