I got an email from a stoked Sam Petri the other day who was fired up after having made turns in the Beartooths last week. Props to Sam and his bros for gettin’ some. Be sure to catch the vid at the end…looks like the little doggie could use some spikes! Grasshopper Glacier sits on [...]

by August 31st, 2007Last Heli Call-out!!!
by August 29th, 2007This is the last week to have your voice heard before the Governor on the need for a state funded helicopter to support Search and Rescue functions in northwestern Wyoming. I recently got an email from Doug Meyer, Teton County Search and Rescue Administrator, and he said that the Governor took a bit of interest [...]
Dynafit Supports Randosteve
by August 28th, 2007Well, I didn’t send it on Heartbreak Ridge yesterday due to high winds. In addition, life sure has been throwing me a lot of curve balls lately. Luckily I made solid contact with this pitch!!! Dynafit is no doubt one of the biggest names in the sport of backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering, and I [...]
Off to Heartbreak Ridge
by August 26th, 2007The crux of Heartbreak Ridge (III, 5.7) is near the nose, about a quarter of the way down from the top I’ve got the next couple of days off from work and I’m going climbing with Julia in the park. I’ve been climbing more than I have in years this summer and it will be [...]
Christmas in August
by August 24th, 2007I was pretty psyched when I got the call that a couple boxes from Black Diamond arrived for me at the shop yesterday. I was anticipating a big square box, full of packs and crampons and such, and I bounced off the wall when I saw a ski box tucked in the corner. I wasn’t [...]
Views From Above
by August 23rd, 2007Awesome views of the north side of Buck Mountain down to Phelps Lake. Looks like there are still some icebergs in Timberline Lake too. I’ve always told myself that I was going to wait until I was 40 to seriously think about taking up the sport of paragliding. I’m not totally sure why, but I [...]
Extreme Weather in the Hole
by August 21st, 2007It’s been pretty crazy with the extreme weather we have been having here in Jackson Hole lately. The thunderstorms have been super intense and I can’t think of the last time I went trail running without the fear of being struck by lighting on my ‘worker run’, which follows a lot of ridges near town. [...]
Bus de Tofana (Hole in the Tofana)
by August 20th, 2007Number 6 is the Bus de Tofana After skiing the Piz Boe Direttissima, we decided to try and nail the ‘Hole in the Tofana” on the Tofana di Mezzo on the drive back to Cortina. You can access this route via the chairlifts of the resort with a short hike, but that would be too [...]
Climbing on the web…LIVE!
by August 17th, 2007This Saturday, August 18th, from 1pm to 7pm (local time), Scottish BBC will broadcast LIVE footage of attempts on four different routes in the Cairngorm Mountains. One of them is aptly named “The Death Route”. Dougald MacDonald describes it best over on The Mountain World. Unfortunately it looks like the weather will be marginal, so [...]
Be a Hero with GoPro Cameras
by August 15th, 2007Adjustable in every angle You may remember me experimenting with some video last spring and some of you recommended me getting some sort of helmet cam. Well, I’ve been thinking about investing in one and I saw the perfect setup while I was down at the Outdoor Retailer. I don’t want to spend a fortune [...]
2008 Rando Racing Schedule
by August 14th, 2007I’ve been talking with Pete Swenson recently about this year’s United States Ski Mountaineering Association and Colorado Ski Mountaineering Cup race schedules and it looks like there will be plenty of events to choose from. It is great to see both the USSMA and COSMIC come together to provide some new venues and twists to [...]
Party with Smith
by August 13th, 2007My second day at the Outdoor Retailer show was super busy, but it ended with a great party sponsored by Smith Optics. Smith put on the event to highlight the launch of their new Interlock sunglass line. It was an invite only event and thanks to our sales rep Garret Rose, I was able to [...]
2007 Summer Outdoor Retailer: Day 1
by August 10th, 2007Pretty status quo for the first day of the Outdoor Retailer trade show. Catching up with sales reps, checking out the new gear, passing out ‘Live to Ski’ stickers and trying to fit-in with the hip outdoor scene. IMHO, big advancements in design and technology really seem to be lacking in the summer offerings though, [...]
Outdoor Retailer
by August 9th, 2007I’m am down in Salt Lake City for the rest of the week to attend the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show. Today is the first day of the show and I am going to be pretty busy with a full schedule and have appointments every hour or half-hour for the next three days. I am even [...]
