Officer-”Can I ask you where you are going?” Randosteve-”Skiing.” Officer-”Can I ask why you ran that stop sign?” Randosteve-”If you mean not quite coming to an absolute, matter of fact stop…it is because it is 4 o’clock in the morning and it is obvious that there is no sign of anyone coming in any direction [...]

Thanks…A LOT!
by May 12th, 2008Too Early…AND Too Late
by May 11th, 2008Well…I/we got shutdown on a line I’ve been looking at recently. More or less for jumping the gun after a bunch of new snow fell in the mountains, as well as not being early enough…my biggest pet peeve. My plan was to ski the line around 11am…but it really needed to be more like 8am [...]
I got out with Penn Newhard and Greg Williams from Backbone Media this past Tuesday and even though the temps weren’t that cold, the snow still set up nice to make for fast spring time travel. We toured up to the Teewinot/Mt Owen Plateau and skied the Southwest Couloir of Teewinot. Here are some pictures [...]

String Lake Lines, St Johns and Rockchuck Peaks
by May 5th, 2008Sunrise on Rockchuck. I’ve been out skiing the past four days…nothing too exciting though. Two shutdowns and two mini-lines out of the String Lake Trailhead. There have been some good freezes at night, but the weather forecasting has been tough. The shutdowns were due to lingering weather in the early morning hours. Both successful trips [...]
Video Tutorial: Hot Waxing Climbing Skins
by May 2nd, 2008It’s that time of year when it’s important to have your climbing skins sufficiently waxed to avoid the dreaded glopping up of new snow when skinning from the sun into the shade. Waxed climbing skins will not only reduce the amount of glopping, but they will also allow for better glide on the frozen crust [...]
New PROBAR Flavors
by May 1st, 2008PROBARS have become a huge part of my diet lately and I’m psyched about the launch of five new flavors that make up their new Sweet and Savory lineup. The bars have a nice combination of sweet and salty taste, and even contain salt from Heber City, UT (near PROBAR’S offices), which is known for [...]
