It ALL starts w/Lucia- you should get a VAN!!

Thoughts on van life from McCall ID

Lots of smaller, indy ski areas in ID (I have an “Indy” ski pass, along with epic and ikon)…blue markers are ski areas where you can camp in parking lot. I am hanging out in McCall and today skied Brundage.

Fun to see the rigs…this is the parking lot at Brundage Ski area (near McCall) — super fun small ski area.

A very cool Skoolie and #Send-IT!. The skoolie is definitely cool — comes with a wood burning stove!

Since it is a busy weekend (even in the smaller ID ski areas)…couldn’t park in the ski lot. So am camping in a nearby campground. Looks like lots of people are living here (they rent seasonal spots). Probably lots of stories…hard to talk with people, most are working are in their campers. Weird vibe. Super quiet.

Today i was super aware of a few things skiing…cool watch my slough (boot high powder) keep up with me down the steep sections, the sound of my skis clicking together, and my tails kind playing down the moguls as I controlled speed… Tried to let my thoughts be my ski partner today :).

Tomorrow I am going to skip the crowds — and pull down my nordic skis and do some skating at https://payettelakesskiclub.org/bearbasinnordiccenter/ and Sunday heading to meet my buddy at Grand Targhee.

    Wow, Brian looks intense. That steep, sure is steep! Loving the pictures too, really captures the serene-ness of the place. And so much snow! Pretty cool to see how others are living during this strange covid-time. Glad you are having fun (and of course staying safe). PB and I had a relaxing drive back from Wyoming. It sure was fun to be out there in the world. Enjoy your adventure. 😘
