Laps on Glory With Black Diamond Bandit Pack

Mellow vibes on the pass with plenty of parking. Is it the snowpack…or the turtles? I was on a mission to do some laps on nature’s stairmaster…aka, the Glory bootpack on Teton Pass. It’s probably been over a month since I’ve skied on the Pass, but bootpacking is a great way to strengthen the legs, [...]

Training…and the Suunto T6

Monday’s workout. Short…and kinda sweet! Now that I’ve committed to going to Europe to race, I really need to focus on staying in shape and improving my fitness over the next few weeks. This mean increasing the frequency of my shorter interval and race-pace type workouts, as well as throwing in some long and slow [...]

Help Support Randosteve in Switzerland

I just started looking for airline tickets to Switzerland and although they aren’t too bad right now, hopefuly I can get my itinerary dialed to pull the trigger soon. There is no doubt though, that this trip to race in the Ski Mountaineering World Championships is going to cost a pretty penny. And with the [...]

2008 Winter Outdoor Retailer: Day 1

Goodbye to Black Diamond Skier…Billy Poole

Photo: Adam Clark Courtesy: Black Diamond Equipment When I got home from dinner last night, I was going to write a bit about the demo day at Outdoor Retailer…until I heard the bad news.

WasatchAT: Kesler Peak, East Couloir

After a decent nights sleep, I awoke to about 6” of snow on the van parked in Sugarhouse. As I pulled out to go to my friend Guy Evan’s house, it was evident that the streets hadn’t been plowed and many two wheel drive cars were struggling…if not completely in the ditch. Guy lives at [...]

North Face Heathen Challenge at Sunlight

After Saturday’s race, I got some decent rest in before the race at Sunlight on Sunday. We had five people crammed in our slope side room, a little crowed…but not too bad. Since my morning plan seemed to work the day before, I stayed the course and choked down a few calories before heading out [...]

COSMIC: Aspen/Snowmass Winter Wild

Great USSMA race at Snowmass on Saturday. It was a qualifier for the US Ski Mountaineering Team to travel to Switzerland next month and race in the World Ski Mountaineering Championships. I’m trying to get on the team, along with many other fast racers, so this race was important and I wasn’t sure how I [...]

Colorado Update and Black Diamond AT and Telelmark Boot Testing

NOTE: It seems as thought Teton County Search and Rescue may have lost some snowmobile helmets off the trailer after the rescue up Cache Creek last weekend. If anyone found some, they have radio hook-ups built into them, please contact Ted at 307-690-0748. Thanks! Got out skiing on the new Black Diamond boots and learned [...]

The Drive and Scarpa 2009 AT Boot Highlights

I got out of Jackson on time…around eight. Pretty slick road conditions until out of Bondurant and a nice sundog casted some good vibes on the long drive ahead. I lost a bit of time just out of Rock Springs finding out that that 191 through Flaming Gorge was closed….so I back tracked and took [...]

More Photos from Disappointment Peak

Sliver of a moon in the morning I’ve been a little busy the past few days with work and TCSAR helicopter short haul training at night. I’m done with the classroom stuff for short haul, so next time I’ll be hanging below the ship flying around like superman. Yeah…just a little nervous about it. I [...]

Grand Targhee Ski Mountaineering Classic

Nice sunrise leaving Jackson. Fun ski mountaineering race at Grand Targhee this weekend and the first ever ‘Teams Race’ for the United States Ski Mountaineering Association. Close to forty racers showed up for the event, which is pretty good for the middle of nowhere Wyoming. It sounds like there’s going to be a story in [...]
