Category: Ski tour (Page 2 of 2)

Some of my best ski days are spending more time on the “up” than the “down”…this was no exception with my buddy Chris Morgan and awesome guide Jason Bernstein (Yostmark Mountain Guides, Driggs ID). Love alpine touring…as Lucia says…it is my happy spot!

For those interested in touring the area…really like this tour. Skied the Miracles, Windy Ridge, and then climbed up and Skied the “Do-Its” almost back to the van.

Start by waking up in back of Sprinter Van in the Crystal mountain B-lot, to avi bombs …feels like a combat zone…

Get up to Chair 6 So we can hike into the Southside.

Hike into the Southback

Been an awesome two weeks with great friends and family…

Next off to Deer Valley to wear some slippers with my bro! and then WA — Crystal and Alpental to spend time with my fellow 14 Fighter Squadron Samurai brother…Heywood Zablocki. Has it been 20+ years Heywood?

Do you know there is a NOAA buoy in Hawaii that predicts the weather in the Rocky Mountains (specifically) the weather in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake.

My next leg of trip — will be weather dependent. Looking a snowpack and forecast in the Western US

Great discussions and experiences looking at how snow can fail and trigger avalanches.

Nice work on route finding and assessing the risks on skiing a specific run

Our ski group (team viper:) and a gathering of beautiful Elk in Rocky Mountain national park.

Super awesome experience to increase knowledge of safe travel and skiing in backcountry. Great instructors (Everett and Gage) from Colorado Mountain School and my son Kristian and buddy Chris.
