Skied down to lantern lake off the north face of lolo peak. Twas very fun.
Sunday brunch at the jazz studio before the heatwave fuct errything! reset time pleaze. Sorry for overuse of this song its just so lovely.
Porter the dog made us look like pussies as usual by fully sending. Lindsy Vonn cameo. 19 consecutive months of shralping. Sorry Tall T Dan, I cant #stopskiing.
Pretty cruisy up there on the Stanton Glacier. Feels good to wrap up another summer of skiing questionable antique snow. Ready for Rocktober pow to make it 48 months straight of noodling around in the hills.
Classically hungover ski mission in the Mission Mountains last Friday September 30th 2016.
Extreme gnar soft shell skiing is about being super dialed. That means getting to the trailhead by lunch, wearing silly hats, eating shit flavored elk infused bars, and letting everyone know that you are sooooooooo Dynafit.
First realish day of skiing in a long time. Hopefully its a huge winter!! dad airs for life!
The thick wildfire smoke cleared for one day so we could ski some dirty patches. Thank you baby jesus.
Such a great vibe at this little summer setup. So nice to leave the skins at home and make lift laps!
hiked up hillz and skied decent snow and some variable weird snow. Really fun to get some sun and good cardio for my fat ass.
The Going to the Fun road opened in GNP. We tooled around and did a lot of short fun laps. We even had a chance encounter with a newschoolers celebrity.
skiing, blue skies, busch light in camo cans, surly hunters, new friends, bonfires, wolf tracks, and chainsaws. Quintessential Montana.
It snowed a very little bit up in the high country, but of course we had to investigate. The way up looked pretty bleak. Then we found where the wind had blown all the snow off the top of the mountain and created a little snow oasis. It wasn't much but it was enough to make me feel happy again.
I have become really addicted to the process, raping instagram/blogs for beta, scouting, and then executing. It brings great pleasure to my cold black heart.
Started out being a beautiful day skiing with the boys. Then a small slide popped on me. Never let your guard down on mellow terrain. Slides dont have to be big and gnarly to put you on the couch.
Attempt at the west couloir of graywolf peak in the mission mountains. Huge day trying to conquer this beast while battling fussy weather. The skies finally cleared revealing that the main chute was too runnelled out to ski from the top, so we skied a spicy pincher chute looker's right. It was 3 inches on top of pretty firm snow, which made for one of the most intense lines I have ever skied. Spring skiing in full effect!!!
Skiing corn in november is fun, but confusing. Snow is in the forescast. Come on winter!!
Just slogging around some more new areas to try and find the goods.
hauling skis on my back for miles wasnt painful enough, so I added a vessel to the pack. Such a fun day in the mission mountains.
Last weekend at Bernies when the heat up started. Time for a big reset. come on winter!!
Dad turn bonanza practicing for the powder 8 championships with TJ.
Gem Lake Couloir off of Trapper Peak in the southern Bitterroots. Skiing is not in slow motion. I just went really slow to avoid death. Type 2 kind of fun as they say in the streets.
still lots of jolly good times to be had in western Montana, you just gotta be willing to get really high.
Had wednesday off from work for Veteran's Day. Skied some pow. More snow in the forecast!!!!
Mini storm delivers a fun day for my friends and I. Still waiting for our first large storm.
skiing is a lot like a girl flashing her dumpers. Even the mediocre ones are thoroughly enjoyable.
After a 3 week hiatus due to shit weather and working 12 days straight we lucked out with perfect weather for a legendary slog up to Gunsight mountain and the Sperry Glacier in Glacier National Park. No grizzlies and great corn. Cool to ski on a glacier that may not last our lifetime. All said and done it was a 17 hour day covering roughly 23 miles and 10k feet of up.
Kept it mellow at low low pass while the snowpack heals up high. 2 days of stumpjumping to keep warm in the frigid temps. fun stuff.
