Mount Royal 10,502′ Coin Slot Couloir 4/20/2013

The day started at 8am at the Frisco trailhead. We were a bit bleary after having a ton of fun at the Rocky Mountain High CAIC Benefit at the Dam Brewery the night before. We started up Mt Royal and took it nice and easy. Just as we were heading out of the lot we [...]

Trelease April Pow Day 4-12-2013

Got up for some decent snow today. It was pretty fun to ski some soft right-side up snow for a change. Nice light density at the top made for awesome turns. Great to see you Brian. Looking forward to getting some big lines done soon.

Beaver Creek Backcountry 2/7/2013

With Beaver Creek reporting 8″ overnight it seemed like a trip to Avon was needed. I called Gary and headed up to Frisco. Darrell, Nate and Garrett were already there. So out the gates we went in search of soft goodness. We found some good stuff and some not so good stuff yesterday. There were [...]

A few days on Trelease – 12/17, 18, 24/2012

I’ve been trying to get out for some of this great snow. It’s so good to have winter back. Balance seems to be returning to the universe. Gotta get to because I’m heading to Jackson tomorrow. I’ll let the pictures do the talking for this one.

Wolf Creek 12/16-17/2012 – 42″ in 48 Hours – AT LAST

Sometimes you just have to go for it. I arrived at Allison’s around 4:20 and the immediate topic of discussion was that of what to ski. After popping open the laptop and looking at the forecasted snows for around the state we decided on the long haul to Wolfie. They had received 30 in the [...]

Butler – Loveland Pass – Butler 12/8-10/2012

I figured I’d just save a little time with this trip report since it was all meadow skippy skiing from all the same storm. It’s so good to have some new snow to ski. Feeling the cold air in my lungs again lets me know I’m alive. The excitement of checking the weather forecast is [...]

Lambs Slide Failure – Ridiculous Winds 12/5/2012

After 2 really nice, long bike rides in the front range I figured I’d try and get up high. Sorry no pics from the rides. I figured that Lambs Slide would be holding some snow but I was worried that with the lack of snow it might have turned to ice. I figured it was [...]
