Jackson Peak-
by September 24th, 2006Joel Canale-Dolomites, Italy
by September 24th, 2006This trip report is from March 9, 2006. The Joel Canale was the first coulior I choose to ski based mainly on it’s easy access from the Passo Pardi tram. The coulior directly faces you from the dock, so you can totally see what you are getting into. We Americans stick out like sore thumbs [...]
French Spy Bowl
by September 24th, 2006This trip report is from November 21, 2005 and my first trip to the French Spy Bowl on Togwotee Pass. Sometimes the surrounding ranges are the better choice for early season coverage. The Absorkas, of Togwotee Pass, can often collect a fair amount of snow and also provide sick lines for those that just…can’t…wait, like [...]
Table Mountain-First Teton Turns
by September 24th, 2006This trip report is from November 20, 2004, and is what we have to look forwards to.

The north-facing bowl off the peak tends to [...]

The PowerLung is a breathing resistance tool that helps increase lung strength, capacity, oxygen intake, and inevitalbly performance for the competative athlete. PowerLung differs from other devices in [...]
Bonneville Mountain Rescue
by September 23rd, 2006Though I didn’t respond to the call-out to assist Sublette County in the search for the missing person last week, I did hear a bit about it. Up to 80 personel responded from around the state, and even Canada, to the Big Sandy trailhead in the Southern Wind River Range for more than four days [...]
First ‘Real’ Snow in the Tetons
by September 23rd, 2006Funny that one of the first few posts here is of skiing on the first snow of the 2006/07 season. It snowed to the valley floor on the night of Thursday, September 21st and created havoc in many Jackson areas. Many of the leaves are still on the aspen trees and the weight of a [...]
Going Big!!!
by September 14th, 2006I can’t wait…I’m headed to New Zealand in a couple weeks to do some steep skiing, as well as attempt a coveted first descent from the summit of Mount Cook. The skiing in this area is amazing and huts, financed by the New Zealand Alpine Club litter the park on a first come, first serve [...]
