IceAxe.TV Antarctic Ski Cruise Update
by August 27th, 2009The late Hans Sarri, wishing there was more time while admiring the unskied, Mount Shackleton. I’m still on the fence and trying to make a decision about joining Doug Stoup and company on this amazing opportunity to visit and ski on Antarctica in November. The last I talked to Doug, there were less that 15 [...]
Avalanches Baby!
by August 26th, 2009I’ve seen a lot of avalanche footage over the years and I sometimes wonder if watching makes one more comfortable and less afraid OR more fearful of avalanches over time. I think to some extent, video footage tends to make you more scared of them, but outrunning and/or surviving an avalanche in real life, might [...]
Name That Couloir #18
by August 25th, 2009Let’s play another round of…NAME…THAT…COULOIR! This one might be a bit tough and we may have a stumper. (Prove me wrong!) I think you really may have had to skied this couloir to know the name. BUT, you folks always surprise me on this stuff, so someone might recognize the lifts or the road at [...]
Ortovox S1 Firmware Update Version 1.2.3074
by August 24th, 2009A lot of transceivers come tethered to their harnesses with some bungee cord. Sometime I want more flexibility with it, so I cut the bungee and girth hitch it to the harness…so it can be removed. I think one of the biggest advantages of owning an Ortovox S1 Avalanche Transceiver is the ability to walk [...]

TetonAT Classics, Circa 1997
by August 19th, 2009Randosteve gets down in the Gros Ventre Slide. Yeah baby! That’s what I’m talking about…Steep Tech…skinny…long skis…Alpine Trekkers! That’s the way is was for me back in the day, touring around with Team Extreme (me and my JHMR bros Reed Finlay and Chris Onufer). At least that’s what I remember, especially from this great day [...]

Installing New Black Diamond Adjustable Skin-Tip Loops
by August 17th, 2009Well, I’ve been slowly getting my quiver ready for this up coming ski season, cutting skins, mounting bindings and waxing skis (hey…nothing like an early start). And I’ve got to say, I’m very impressed with the new climbing skin tips from Black Diamond. Though they take a bit more time to install than the basic [...]
Mmmmmm…
by August 16th, 2009By the looks of the Jackson Hole area webcams (see bottom right sidebar), we’ve just got some valley fog going on this morning. A little dusting of fresh snow on our side, but as usual…a bit more coverage for our neighbors over the hill in Idaho. My knee is killing me today (and last night) [...]
El Vaquero Loco
by August 15th, 2009First day out in the Crosslites…crushed! Good times and a solid 3rd place finish (2:46) in the 25K at the El Vaquero Loco 50K/25K race today down in Afton, Wyoming. The rugged course travels through the amazing Salt River Range, which though difficult to access in the winter, does hold some great skiing for those [...]
Winner…Guess My Time…Gannett Peak
by August 14th, 2009Thanks to everyone who played Guess My Time…Gannett Peak, and thanks to La Sportiva for donating the Exum Pros to the winner. I hope you had as much fun with it as I did. While it humbles me to think that some of you guessed that I was able to break the record for Gannett [...]
How I Roll
by August 13th, 2009Remember everybody, today at exactly 12:00pm (noon) MTS is the last chance to “Guess My Time” and win a free pair of La Sportiva Exum Pros. The winner will be announced tomorrow! Yay! What I ate. With just a few more hours to enter into the contest, I thought I would run down the things [...]
Warren Miller’s: Dynasty
by August 12th, 2009What I like about this video are the tight shots. So many of today’s videos consist of wide angle, big landscape edits of skiers and riders skiing a million miles an hour down some face or couloir. While that’s rad and all, I also enjoy seeing the energy in the skiers movements, watching the powder [...]
