Hi John -I chose that particular slope to ski because of the wind direction and also having skied the north side to confirm suspicions. I've been skiing Loveland Pass since 1995 so I ski wh...
I'm not sure which is worse, dirt or pollen to ski. I think pollen as it sneaks up on you - one minute you're flying along and then wham! into the snow. You already kinda know wh...
Enjoyable read, loved the style. Touched a couple nerves...Craig Kelly' Burton Air was the board that changed the world and Telemon's ghost lives. I also vote September as the cruelest...
I've had September powder in the Rockies, and I've heard tale and seen pictures of August "powder" along the Divide after a storm. But I think the most evasive of all new-sno...
Gripping write up, I very much enjoyed reading it. Even deeper thoughts on family skiing. So true - some day, and that day will be soon, I will ask myself if i should go as my daughters wi...
Jacob - a little more melting on the north ridge will make the direct east face access more enjoyable into the Dog. It thought about it, but decided on the full Dog. The east face line is pretty hairy...
What a blast. Inspirational to get 27 days. I find I go back to my favorite local hill over and over, it's not that rad but even when there is only a 100 yard ski, just being there ma...
Lots of fun. Thanks for the read. It's funny how that internal voice works. I listen to it...I listened and bailed on an objective due to weird snow last weekend after 2 am star...
Great to be hearing about the adventures in the Sierra. Funny how that big empty lot was verboten. What would a night out as security be without rousting a nice couple? You guys can...
At what point are we going to try and just put some Dynafit bindings on two snowboards and call it good!This sounds like a good goof at the next pond skim now that I've thought about it!Impressiv...
Bigeo - my greatest lament is putting my 1980s K2 Gyrators in the dumpster in NY when I moved to Colorado. I had to fit everything I owned in a Chrysler Grand Caravan and they drew the short str...
I'm glad a dog owner saw the humor in my post- your pup looks like a shambling monster coming down the trail would not phase her. Probably look at you and ask "for real?" It's a...
Great reads, btw, Ron.That ski of the devastated area brings back great memories...of particular note, that was volcano #2 I had skied naked! Talk about no-fall skiing.
Sorry Zig, thanks for allowing the TR to remain, good education on drone usage for folks.I don't think of wilderness areas as for "human elitist", but as a way to help protect some area...
The one and only. It's changed slightly over the years, but still charming. On your visit, do stay in room 217, where King stayed when he got the idea for the book.Max creepy. Enjoy t...
Saturday was a lot of fun, while Sunday was outstanding.It took four tries to nail the full descent of Lincoln. You need plenty of snow up in the 'theatre - so early in the season is better...
David Goodman's series of books are a great resource for NY, ME, VT, NH, MA BC skiing. Good beta on what's to explore. At least 20 years ago! You'll see a pattern, m...
