Its been a cold one out there. Mostly negative digits with day in and day out of storm shredding as our snowpacks biulds by the hour. A clearing was scheduled for Thanksgiving so we headed to Wasangeles! This is the single most populated backcountry area I know about. It gets hammered constantly by the helis … Continue Reading

Definitely startin to look like winter! I’m beginning to remember how much I love the days where you wake up, strap on the headlamp and scarf down a Clif bar on the skin track. First turn with first light. The line dropped into a halfpipe gully, with slasher walls to make us pretend we were … Continue Reading

I aim to tell a story with my photography. My best moments in life come to me through the mountains and there’s no better way to document them than through imagery. These two days were some of my best and bagging these lines back to back was special for me because they were two that … Continue Reading

Urban shredding… kindof Gotta love the dawn patrol. The crew: ZG, Cindi, Alecs with the snot rocket and the target in the background. Another one of the few big lines without all the sweeping avalanche potential in these crazy times. When you have 5,500 feet of climbing and who knows how many miles ahead of … Continue Reading

With this crazy avalanche problem we’ve been facing, it’s been really tough to find BIG lines that don’t have sweeping death potential. The Lone Peak south face is one of the biggest climbs in the Wasatch without the biggest consequences. 6,000′ up, 6,000′ down. Still feeling sick and hacking up all kinds of lung butter … Continue Reading

It has definitely been an exciting week here in the Wasatch. Once our friend Powder came back in full force, there was super high avy danger, Umphrey’s Mcgee live, desert road trip and lots of shredding all the while trying to battle a gnarly sickness. I’ve taken countless photos and a bit of shaky helmet … Continue Reading

Skoooo wweeeeeee! It finally started nuking again in the Wasatch! For a while there, it was looking pretty grim. There’s a lotta new snow out there and more on the way! A few avalanches came down naturally during the most intense part of the storm. Pick one and use it as an up route. Absolutely … Continue Reading

Utah hasn’t seen a storm in a REALLY long time. Might as well go check every aspect and elevation in the southern and central Wasatch for good snow. I have avy class every Friday in LCC so it’s a race against time. Good thing we’re splitboarders. Don’t wunna get busted in AF. People have been … Continue Reading
