Jake getting in deep in the Monashees.
OOHHH, Sean digging. Yeah, it was good. First day actually doing a full tour with the strobe rig. WTF was I thinking... but, the images are fun. Hopefully they will show in print soon. Thanks Sean and Jake for an awesome last day in BC before heading south to the OR show.
After over a week in beautiful BC, the sun finally makes an apparance. Blue bird shoot on Rogers Pass. Hope I get to exprience many more of these. Greg Hill doing his thing - crushing vertical and skiing pow. Plastered Eagle Peak in the background.
Bone dry conditions in Colorado and no snow in the forecast = 20 hours solo drive to BC and Valhalla Mountain Touring = SNOW!! Vince riding the vmt old growth.
Up for today, a few more cm's of fresh and more old growth!
Skylar shredding a few inches of powder and a foot or two of facets. Grim snow conditions around Colorado had us chasing a few inches of snow around Silverton.
Darrell touring during the incoming storm... The landscape needs a little freshening up.
Waking up to one or two inches in the town, instead of the forecasted 5-8. Skylar does not approce. Did we dream of reading that 5-8 forecast?
I leave you with this!!! Maybe our collective karma can change this weather pattern. Happy Holidays!
Donny Roth ridge cruising yesterday near the citadel. It's not everyday that one gets to go way above treeline and ski lines of the high peaks in Colorado in December.
Donny making the wind-jack and depth-whore look like powder. But the skiing really was good!
We were not the only guys having fun cruising ridges...
Psyched to get the first day on skis on the books. Now someone just needs to remind mother nature that it really is winter and bring the SNOW!
Recent LaSportiva Hi5 ad featuring Michael Cody climbing a couloir in Colorado last spring - sporty, firm conditions - we were wishing we had not left the ice axes in the car... If you're in the market for a super light, stable, large early-rise shovel/flat tail backcountry board, check out the Hi5 - it's a sweet stick. For some other recently published stuff, check out the December issue of Skiing magazine. Time to ski.
