Conrad Anker Slideshow on Antarctica
by January 15th, 2007Teewinot to Corbet’s on The Snaz.com
by January 14th, 2007Well I’m back to work today after a weekend of partying and socializing (and some skiing too). I am looking forward to a three day ski trip in the Wind Rover Range later this week though. For those that aren’t familiar with the website TheSnaz.com, now is a good time to visit. TheSnaz.com is a [...]
Frigid Temps in the Hole
by January 13th, 2007Sub-zero temps have settled in Jackson and it was -18F this morning. Not much of an inversion yet, but the radiant heat of the sun still warms things up nicely. TCSAR training was canceled today cuz of the cold, so it looks like I’ll be skiing. Despite the frigid temps, I still have been able [...]
TCSAR-Broken Femur on Teton Pass.
by January 12th, 2007I skied the Village yesterday and it was fun…maybe a little cold. The wind picked up at the end of the day and was scouring most of the exposed runs. On my last run down, about 3:45, my phone rang…SAR call-out, busted femur at the bottom of ‘The Claw’ on Teton Pass. Being the time [...]
Pyramid Peak and The Hypergravity Machine
by January 11th, 2007Well we had about 12hrs of clear, windless skies…too bad they were at night. The short break in the weather wasn’t enough for larger endeavors yesterday, so Dustin and I went for a morning lap on The Pyramid. This is my first time on The Pyramid and only Dustin’s second, and he’s born and bread [...]
Terminator X and F3-New Boots from Scarpa
by January 10th, 2007Looks like I’m skiing The Pyramid today, something I have actually never skied before. Maybe the ‘champagne chutes’ down into Jensen Canyon. Here is a picture of the upcoming ‘Terminator X’ boot from Scarpa for Fall 2007. The new boot is more or less a beefed up F1 which is also compatible with the much [...]
Photo of the Week
by January 9th, 2007Taking a day off from skiing today and it is my Friday…so I’m looking forward to some full days on the slopes. In 2006 I took a trip to Italy to compete in the World Ski Mountaineering Championships and do dome skiing in the Dolomites. Here is a picture of Dr. Cary Smith skiing below [...]
60cm of Depth Hoar in Moran
by January 8th, 2007Did a few laps on the King this morning and now I am off to work. Thought I would pass this along in case we have some readers skiing or snowmobiling north of Jackson. We had a customer in the store yesterday that was on an Avy 2 class near Two Oceans Lake. They found [...]
First turns with my new Black Diamond Kilowatts
by January 7th, 2007I got out for a couple runs on the pass before work today and I think I was the first person up Glory. Sometimes it’s hard to tell cuz the bootpack fills in so quickly. It was cold and windy. I was tempted to ski Glory Bowl since it looked like it had been freshly [...]
Skier Death in Village BC
by January 5th, 2007Rumor has it a skier died at the village today. Details are sketchy, but maybe from a broken femur, after getting avalanched over a cliff. Not something most skiers like to hear. Here is the latest info: I guess three skiers were involved in this incident. The victim aired the Fat Bastard cliff, out running [...]
Worker Turns and Avy on Taylor/Glory
by January 5th, 2007I was a little slow out of the gate today cuz I had a meeting at work. Thankfully, Brian Harder waited for me and we were on the trail to Taylor Mountain a bit after 10. Surprisingly, this was my first time skiing Taylor. It’s weird how certain areas never make it into the cycle, [...]
FSB-Before the Storm
by January 4th, 2007The weather was predicted to deteriorate today and Reed heard from his ski patrol buddies that it should be snowing by noon. We got an early start, to beat the weather, and drove up to Togwotee under uncertain skies. We had planned to go to Mt Moran this week, but not with the predicted storm [...]
Shasta First Descent Day
by January 3rd, 2007Looks like I’m going up to Togwotee today with Reeders. Waiting to see what is up with the weather for larger endeavors. In honor of Fletcher Hoyt’s first descent of Mt Shasta, which occurred on Saturday (12/30), here are a few photos from my trip last spring. I had 5 days off from work in [...]
Diagonal Couloir-Mount Owen
by January 2nd, 2007Well today is my Friday at work and I’m off to do some intervals on Snow King this morning. It is a bit warmer today and I look forward to some days off. I have some tentative plans to go big…but we will see what is up with the weather. Note: This TR is from [...]
