I managed to hit the Highland Bowl at Aspen Highlands on Monday with the new Online Editor for Snowboard Mag, Jon Glass. It wasn’t the most epic day however it sure beat a day in the office. Here’s a short video that I whipped together using the new Go Pro HD.
My good friend Dana Flahr posted this short video with a few beauty ’snowy’ shots… After viewing I had to go ski!
I’ve been going to Pictureline in Salt Lake City for 10 years now. It’s really the only camera shop in Utah worth going to if you need any camera gear and need to speak to a sales person that knows anything. So, need to get camera gear in Utah? Go there. Anyways in the four or [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/43/77/4377.jpeg[/IMG]

Just got home from Aspen. I was there rocking the mic for the Aspen/Snowmass open, helping Shay Will with daily competition updates on the site and also had the pleasure of co-hosting the Mountain Morning show this past Sunday with Othello. I’ll put the video here on MMP once I have it [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/43/54/4354.jpeg[/IMG]

I got a rare chance a few weeks ago to shoot some snowboarding. It was pretty sick to be at the Snowboard Grand Prix at Park City Mountain Resort since it was the last event for the US Snowboard Olympic team selection. It was a really big deal, and it was really nuking all through [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/41/91/4191.jpeg[/IMG]
Its funny how so many lines can sit there for ages and never be seen. I was feeling a little tired today and not exuberant, feeling that after the week of new runs that it was time to take a break. Jeff mentioned Grizzly, Aaron took his idea and suggested a north chute off its western summit. Aaron had a great photo of the line from last week and we all looked at it on his view finder, zooming in and examining it. It was such a defined line; it seemed funny that I had never really noticed it. Maybe in passing but never as a " we should go ski THAT" sorta line. We quickly climbed up and summitted Grizzly Mt and then Jeff and Aaron checked out the entrance. The start zone was small and we were able to drop some cornice on it and then ski cut it. It all fell away beautifully and soon enough the three of us were leapfrogging our way down. Small slabs had to be ski cut off the sides of the chute and then the fan was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. A 2000ft run, back up to Little sifton where we waited patiently for the clearing that never came. then down through a notch and back into Grizzly bowl. Good times.

Since bagging Bagheera, I did one quick nightime ski run, and spent yesterday morning running around Macpherson, skiing a few of the fingers, till I reached 10080ft and then home. Pretty decent for being so close to town. Today I went out expecting to do some laps at Mcgill shoulder and pull in 10 000 feet and then go home. But Jeff called midway through my first run and said he would join me. So I skied 2 runs and met up with him around noon. The weather was teasing me and I could see summits so I suggested we push up towards the true summit. Somehow I have never been to the summit of Mcgill and ever since climbing Bagheera and I kind of needed to.Mcgill was the last in the range that i had not summitted. Hermit/Swiss/Rogers/Sifton/Grizzly/UrsusMinor/8812/UrsusMajor/Catamount/Bagheera/Copper/MCGILL. There are still a few other named peaks in that range that I have not climbed like Truda/Fleming/grant but the major ones have now been visited. Pretty fun to finally summit Mcgill. It was a burly day though, the weather never improved and we were wind blasted and snow rhymed while climbing the ridge. I would like to re visit this summit on a sunny day to really get a feel for the climb. Today was simply whiteout and windy but adventurous. 10410ft 248354ft
