uintaaaaaaah fail

How do you know if something is possible? You try it! It’s easy to plan, guess and speculate from the computer, but there’s really only one way to KNOW and that’s to GO. There were many doubts and ways this wouldn’t work out, but a strong desire to explore this route on skis may have [...]

uintah highline traverse

Might be too late in the season to pull this off, but Darrell Finlayson is helping me shuttle snowmobiles tonight so Andrew McLean and I can attempt the full Uintah Highline traverse. Might have to pull the plug depending on what we find this evening. The plan is to start at Leidy Peak trailhead tomorrow [...]

Cold Fusion

It’s a bit of an approach, but some great trails and mellow roads lead to this classic line. Excited to get to know another little area of this vastly tiny range we call the Wasatch.

I’ve been working with BD for almost a decade and it’s been a great partnership. They’ve asked me to contribute exclusive content for their Journal. I’m a bit behind in logging and editing this winter’s activities, but check out the first installment. Thanks to Jonah for the filming! Holden Village Video

Into Alaska

Once upon a time I worked as a lift operator at Deer Valley. This is where I discovered powder (of all places) and became a SKIER. I loved ski films and wanted to be in them! The TV in the employee housing unit I inhabited would be playing “Reel Thrills” every night. It’s what I [...]

chasing fast

There are sooooo many things I love about skiing. A major reason I’ve been able to stay interested in this activity for so long is the variety. This activity takes on so many shapes and forms and provides enjoyment in different ways. There are so many reasons to “get out there” (can we lighten up [...]

Revelations Revisited

Expeditions are a gamble, a roll of the dice. The first time I bet on the Revelations we ended up sitting in the town of Talkeetna in the rain for 7 days. Several years later I gave it another whirl with a different crew. We won the jackpot with dramatic first descents in great condition [...]

Icon?

Pretty huge surprise in this month’s issue of Backcountry Magazine! Andreas Fransson appropriately takes the cover of the icon issue. If you haven’t been following his exploits, you are missing out on the most talented and exciting skier currently pushing what is possible with metal edges on snow. They compiled a list of 50 “living [...]

Skins, Lines and Videotape Presentation

For some reason Black Diamond Retail store has asked me to do an hour long presentation. And for some reason I said I would. Join me for an evening of reliving the creation of Powderwhore Productions. We’ll drag as much never before seen footage from the vault and spill all the dirt on your favorite [...]

The Hollowdays were good, real good! Lots of new snow fell in the Wasatch and we’ve been out with some new video equipment getting things dialed in. Check out the latest PW blog posts for great pics Jonah snapped. I’ve got a huge list of lines to ski, traverses to attempt, all of which are [...]
