Mount Rainier First Winter Ascent

Mount Rainier First Winter Ascent

Sierra Slayers Stoke

It’s cool to see a little Sierra Slayers stoke from our friend John Morrison, from the Tahoe area, with a nice descent of the Mendenhall Couloir. Definitely have looked at this one a few times driving up and down 395, and it will be in the radar the next time I visit. Though the line […]

Eastern Sierra AT: University Peak

I’m back in Jackson now, but with some more time off from my day job last week and cloudy, rainy days predicted here in the Tetons, I decided to head back to the Eastern Sierra with the Kitty. It was Kitty’s birthday, so I figured it would be a great way celebrate it by skiing […]

Back in the Sierra

Randosteve skins towards the north face of University Peak. Well, after a quick turn around in Jackson and a change of partners last week, Randokitty and I have been back in the Sierras for a few more days of great skiing, good company and protecting ourselves from the intense rays of the deathstar. Sorry I’ve […]

Some Pics From The Ripper Chute

Lines on the east side of the Dana Plateau. I’m back in Jackson for a few days before heading out on another skiing road trip. Here are a few pictures from skiing the Ripper Chute on Dana Plateau on a “rest day”. The Dana Plateau is a must-do for skiers looking to get into some […]

Eastern Sierra AT: Split Mountain

Randosteve skis the South Face of Split Mountain. Click all photos for larger images. My second day skiing on this 2010 Eastern Sierra ski trip involved an early start by Sierra standards and one of it’s 14K’ peaks. Our sights were set on Split Mountain (14,058′) and it’s south face today, and although it’s not […]

Eastern Sierra AT: Mount Thompson and Gilbert

Guest TR: Teton Circumnavigation in 6:29

For all you endurance geeks out there (myself included), Matt Hart has set the standard for a new trail running challenge in Grand Teton National Park. Seems just running up the Grand Teton just isn’t enough anymore. I recently moved here to Driggs from Seattle to work with DreamChasers and ultra legend, Lisa Smith-Batchen. I’m […]

Mount Lassen-Northeast Face

Mount Lassen erupted twice in 1915 on this northeastern side. Lava and pyroclastic flows, mixed with melted water from avalanches caused by the eruptions, combined to form a highly fluid ‘lahar’, which cause massive devastation for over 10 miles. On our last day in Mt Shasta, Reed and I awoke to clouds high on the […]

ShastaAT.com-2007/Day 2

While we have been out in Mt Shasta, Reed and I have been sleeping at the Bunny Flat trailhead to make it that much easier to get after it in the morning. And although it is very beautiful (and sometimes humorous), there is pretty much a steady stream of cars coming and going due to […]

ShastaAT.com-2007/Day 1

Reed and I got into into town last night around eight and after a big dinner, we drove up to Bunny Flats to crash for the night. We were both pretty tired from the 15 hour drive and skiing in the Tetons the day before, so we didn’t get going until nearly eight the next […]

Shasta First Descent Day

Looks like I’m going up to Togwotee today with Reeders. Waiting to see what is up with the weather for larger endeavors. In honor of Fletcher Hoyt’s first descent of Mt Shasta, which occurred on Saturday (12/30), here are a few photos from my trip last spring. I had 5 days off from work in […]
