Steve Romeo, Brian Ladd and Greg Hill check out the avalanche crown. We were able to get out with Greg Hill and Aaron Chance from Revelstoke yesterday, before heading into the Fairy Meadows Hut today.

by February 27th, 2010Exploring Spaulding Peak…And Off to Canada!
by February 24th, 2010Well, it most certainly has been a trying last few days.

Live At The Lodge: With TJ Lanning and Resi Stiegler
by February 19th, 2010I know a lot of you are watching the Olympics…or at least the part of the Olympics that NBC is broadcasting (which isn’t saying much unless you like figure skating), but you can also watch some of the things that go on behind the scenes with hosts and injured US SKi team members TJ Lanning [...]
SkiTrab TR2 Alpine Touring Binding
by February 18th, 2010I’m a very happy Dynafit binding (and sometimes boot) user, but it’s always cool to see new innovations in concept and design being developed. I first heard about the SkiTrab TR1/2 binding about a year ago and this latest video shows a version that looks a bit more fine tuned. It also shows that although [...]

POV Compilation
by February 12th, 2010With a relatively slow start to the ski season, a marginal and sometimes sketchy snowpack, its’ been a little difficult to really get after it this year. Luckily, things are starting to turn around and I’ve slowly started to venture into some steeper and more exposed terrain. Here’s a little video compilation of some of [...]
Heather Paul Snow King Series Starts Tonight
by February 11th, 2010For all you Jackson rando racers, the Heather Paul Hillclimb Series starts tonight! These are pretty low key events, so there’s no pressure to wear your race suit and or kill yourself for the sake of victory. Just a good old time with friends and a time to remember Heather Paul…who unfortunately was killed in [...]
Kootenay Coldsmoke Powderfest
by February 10th, 2010As the days get longer and the snowpack begins to heal itself across much of the Rockies, it’s always fun to get out skiing with friends a bit more…and maybe even go on a road trip or two.
