Click all photos for larger image. Remember when Dynafit was known for making ultra-skinny and short skis for rando’ers that liked to spoon tight wiggle turns and put in low angle skin tracks? Well, they still make skis for that, but for next fall, Dynafit will add a new stick its collection called the Huascaran [...]

The Huascaran…Dynafit’s New F12 Landfish
by January 11th, 2012Side Wall Planers…An Edge Tuning Necessity
by November 28th, 2011Side Wall Planers are key to getting sharp edges. It is interesting to think that when I used to ski the resort a lot, I could have cared less about what condition my ski edges and bases were in. Back in those days and all too often, I’d be skiing around with a few inches [...]
First Matterhorn SkiBASE…Lucky Matthias Giraud!
by September 2nd, 2011
Pretty wild take-off by Matthias Giraud during the first ever ski-BASE off the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Matthias tags some rocks as he launches and looses a ski, which forces him into a front-flip to avoid certain death. “As I reached the edge of the cliff and prepared myself [...]

by June 16th, 2011Off The Couch
by March 17th, 2011This has got to be one of the longest trip reports I’ve ever read for 12 hours of skiing. Luckily, it’s a fantastic read written by Christian Beckwith, who got out for a day of skiing last weekend with one of the Teton’s most talented skiers, Mark Newcomb. A nice descent of the Northwest Couloir [...]

Santa Came Late, But I’ve Been a Very Good Boy!
by January 6th, 2011Thank You Santa! Santa was a little late to the party this year, but I knew I had been a good boy last year and I was expecting a delivery. Thankfully, ye old Kris Kringle (disguised in a brown suit this year) didn’t let me down and delivered this tasty treat for my feet. Yes [...]
Transitioning Between AT Ski Setups
by December 21st, 2010I know many of you out there probably have quite the quiver of rando skis and maybe a few pairs of boots. I know I do. They range from a 5 lb/foot (ski, boot, binding) old-school Dynafit race setup, to a more than 10 lb Black Diamond/Dynafit hybrid. I ski on both setups quite often [...]
Video: Alpha’s Ivory Shoulder, Tantalus Range, BC
by November 12th, 2010Check out this sickter POV and line JD Hare skis in the Tantalus Range of British Columbia. I think I’ve driven by this zone a couple times on the way from Vancouver to Whistler for some rando racing back in 2004 or so. Sure makes you want to drive on up there to check it [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Off To The Wind River Range
by June 17th, 2010How many couloirs do you see on this Wind River peak? Click photo for larger image. Finally, the weather forecast is looking good for more than just a few hours and today I am off to ski in the Wind River Range of Wyoming for five days. It may be a little soggy on the [...]
