Nice job Sam Bass, from Skiing Interactive. Sam was my roommate and occasional ski partner on this Antarctic adventure. (This video is 28+ minutes, so let it load first.)

White Rose: A Ski Odssey to Antarctica
by January 10th, 2011New Zealand Video Stoke Part 1
by November 24th, 2010I put together this little video for the Black Diamond Journal, from the first half of my recent trip to New Zealand in October. Nothing too outrageous as far as ski footage goes (unlike this one), but it’s got a catchy beat and reminds me of the beautiful mountains of the South Island.
New Zealand Photo Purge, Part II
by November 2nd, 2010New Zealand Photo Purge, Part I
by November 1st, 2010Well, after some fun time enjoying the southern hemisphere spring ski season in New Zealand, I arrived back in Jackson Saturday night, slept wicked hard for 10 hours, then jumped right into the northern hemisphere winter with some pretty darn good skiing on Teton Pass for Halloween. Soft powder snow never felt so good and [...]

Skiing in Westlands NP, New Zealand, Part I

Please feel free to leave comments on this post or [...]
Launching for Mount Aspiring
by October 19th, 2010View of the Northwest Ridge of Mount Aspiring. The crux of the descent will be how icy the route is. Photo courtesy MatthewTurley.com I’ve been hanging out here in Wanaka for a few days. There have been a few fine spells here and there, and we managed to get out for a skin up the [...]
Pioneer Hut…Loo With a View
by October 15th, 2010View of Mount Tasman from the outhouse of the Pioneer Hut. Click photo for larger image. Just a quick update from down here in New Zealand. I’m just out from the Pioneer Hut and laying over in the town of Fox, before heading further south for some weather days in Wanaka. As you can see [...]
Time In…Up To Pioneer Hut
by October 10th, 2010Pioneer Hut from Von Bulow. My finger is feeling a bit better and it looks like there is another high pressure system rolling in for a few days, so I’m catching a heli ride and heading back up into the mountains and the Pioneer Hut on Monday…New Zealand time. The Pioneer Hut sits in the [...]
Delay Of Game
by October 6th, 2010I’m dealing with a little adversity right now. I cut my finger badly on the first day in the mountains and after five days of skiing under sunny skies, my wound is still throbbing and bleeding. Therefore, I decided to fly out solo today to have it looked at, cleaned, bandaged and given a rest [...]
See You When I See You…
by September 28th, 2010After about 24 hrs of travel and four plane rides today, I will be in Christchurch, New Zealand…two days later. It’s a nineteen hour time difference between Jackson (MST) and Christchurch (NZDT), and my longest leg is from Los Angeles to Auckland…which looks to be about a 13 hour flight. OUCH! Hopefully a coupe sleep-aids [...]
Two Weeks To New Zealand
by September 14th, 2010Yeah baby! I’m pretty psyched to say that I’m headed to New Zealand to ski for the entire month of October. Before I go any further, I’d like to specifically thank Black Diamond and Arc’teryx Equipment for helping me make this happen. Without their support, I wouldn’t be able to experience a lot of things [...]
Nasty Weather on Broad Peak and K2
by July 7th, 2010I’ve been getting some reports regarding the status of the Broad Peak and K2 Ski Expeditions going on the the Himalaya right now, and it seems as though bad weather currently has them on hold. Both teams have made it up to Camp 3 on their perspective peaks, but were forced back to basecamp due [...]
Second Descent of the Aguille Blance de Peuterey
by June 14th, 2010
From what I’ve been hearing, conditions in the Alps this spring have been absolutely stellar for ski mountaineering to say the least, with rad lines being ticked off by some great skiers and snowboarders. Some have been first descents, while others have been repeats of lines that haven’t [...]
2010 Broad Peak and K2 Ski Expeditions
by June 8th, 2010I’ve got my eye on a couple of ski expeditions that are about to get started in the Himalaya right now. One is an attempt on Broad Peak (8051M) by Benedikt Boehm and Pete Swenson, and the other is Fredrik Ericsson’s attempt on K2. Both of these expeditions are return trips/attempts for some of the [...]
