I got a test pack of ProBars a week or two ago and I’ve got a box of my favorites for the trip to Orizaba. Sometimes my stomach doesn’t like certain flavors or combos when I’m in the mountains, so I tried to eat them while in the mountains…or during long trail runs…instead of just [...]

Off to Orizaba
by October 31st, 2007The Things I do for Love
by October 30th, 2007There’s something about having a girlfriend that makes you do things that you normally wouldn’t. Having worked in a ski shop for the last 8 years and now having secured some great sponsorships, the last thing I need is to get up at the crack of dawn and stand in line to shop for AT [...]

Oh yeah…I saw this big guy crossing the road on the way to the trailhead. Hope he’s ready to run through the gauntlet of hunters!
Fans of TetonAT
by October 28th, 2007
At the Outdoor Retailer this summer, John Griber introduced me to a couple Sherpas that had traveled to the United States for a NOLS course. Funny…seems they had already heard about TetonAT.
NOT Fans of TetonAT
by October 27th, 2007Photo Jay Jurkowitsch A visitor from Laramie sent me this photo. I think Jay is a fan of winter…so maybe this is his roommates doing. At least it’s probably been in the 60′s this week in Laramie and melting such inflammatory images.
Back to Table Mountain
by October 26th, 2007It’s Halloween weekend here in JH, but I don’t think I’ll be attending the big party at Snow King. Over the years, I’ve gone as a version of Elvis…like retro and flasher Elvis, but I’m not that much of a partier and sometimes it can get me in trouble. Rumor has it someone is going [...]
More on the Suunto CORE
by October 25th, 2007I’ve only had one of the new Suunto CORE watches for a few days now and I can’t believe how many people have asked me about it. When I first saw these watches at Summer Outdoor Retailer in August, I thought they were mainly just fluffed up old models…focusing on fashion…but after playing with it [...]
Freedom of the…Slopes???
by October 24th, 2007The original CD (Chris Denny) from Denny Inc. stopped by the shop the other day to show off this cool new mountaineering book: Free Skiing: How to Adapt to the Mountain, which includes many tips relating to ski mountaineering. The book was put together by Swed, Jimmy Oden, who now resides in Switzerland. Jimmy is [...]
Dynafit Goodies
by October 23rd, 2007I’ve got to tell you, last week I was waiting on pins and needles for some Dynafit products to arrive…mainly the new Zzero 4 CF boots and Vertical FT bindings. I only tried the Zzeros on once in Tim Kelley’s (Dynafit Sales Manager) office last year, when Dynafit was with Life-Link and based Jackson, so [...]
Here We Go Again
by October 22nd, 2007Courtesy of the Utah Avalanche Center I got an email about an avalanche that happened on Mt Baldy in Alta recently. Here is a link to the Utah Avalanche Center and some more photos, as well as a description of the avalanche. With the forecast predicted for Jackson over the next week or so, I [...]
TR Alert!
by October 21st, 2007Name That Couloir, #14
by October 19th, 2007Well it’s not a couloir, but it is a peak over 18K…and I just started shopping for plane tickets to go ski it. Do you what it is? If I told you already…it doesn’t count.
TCSAR: More on the Rescue
by October 18th, 2007I gotta tell you, you never know what you are in for when you get a call-out for Teton County Search and Rescue. When one came for two injured hunters, deep in the Gros Ventre this Tuesday evening, I decided I would respond, even though it was the second time in a week I was [...]
TCSAR: All Night Rescue in the Gros Ventre
by October 17th, 2007It’s 7 AM and I’m just getting home from an all night TCSAR rescue way the #*@! back in the Gros Ventre Wilderness. Two hunters flipped their 4-wheeler on steroids and are lucky to be alive. I’m pretty tired right now, so I’m just gonna list some words that come to my mind. Dark, Cold, [...]
Video: First Flight
by October 16th, 2007
I was able to get out with the kite on Saturday after SAR training. I went on Friday to try, but there wasn’t enough wind and I struggled to get the kite to launch. The wind was better the following day and I was able to get the kite up [...]
