My first encounter with the goat was waaaaaay back in the late 90’s when they had a store front outside of Heber. I went into what appeared to be a cool gear shop, but they told me I couldn’t buy anything. They said I had to go online to order and I thought that was [...]

Steep Camp

Steep Camp

Sorry for the posting drought! It’s been my goal to add something of interest once a week, but that hasn’t been easy this winter. The thin and scary snowpack has made it difficult to safely attempt much. The tick list on my dry erase board next to the computer is still fat with projects. After being [...]

Doing it at night!

February 9, 2010

Doing it at night!

The idea of skiing at night with lights first started when mad scientist, Andy Rosenberg purchased a high powered mtn bike light for use on dawn patrols. After working in the office all day I borrowed it for an evening lap at snowbird. I was skeptical you could get enough juice out of these small [...]

Mountain Hardwear

I’ve been ‘living the dream’ for some time now. For me, that means existing simply and doing what I want to do with my time, my imagination and my skis. It appears there are those who like what I do enough to help out along the way.

I just signed onto the Mountain Hardwear ‘Team’ at [...]

Avalanche in Days Fork

Avalanche in Days Fork

So, this has been one of the slowest starts to winter I can recall. Pretty frustrating if you’re committed to making a ski film from a production company named Powderwhore. Maybe we should have gone with something else that would have put less pressure to deliver the, all up in your grill, blower.
Snow has finally [...]

Jonah has been chomping at the bit to start working with footage for the next flick. He put this nice little edit together from our trip to Bryce and Cedar Breaks. There wasn’t enough snow to really ’ski’ much, so it was primarily ‘one turn wonders’ as we call them or ‘buttering the muffin’, where [...]

Happy New Year Everybody! Enjoy the 2010 winter season and all it’s beauty. This is a short edit from a recent trip to Yellowstone over Thanksgiving.

Southern Utah Exploration

Southern Utah Exploration

Skiing in the Wasatch hasn’t been off to the best start, so we headed South to explore Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks. We have been talking with Jay Beyer about doing some reconnaissance for years and now seemed like the perfect time. The southern part of the state had just been hit pretty hard by 1-2′ [...]

Powder Magazine Photo Annual

A long time dream of mine was recently fulfilled with the release of the Dec issue of Powder Magazine.

Thanks to the eye and talented lens work of Jay Beyer we made a pretty picture for the photo annual! With knowledge and experience you try and put yourself in the ‘right’ place at the right [...]

First Day BC

First Day BC

The backcountry snow has been thin so we’ve been skiing Alta and touring up Snowbird for training. With the latest storm we were drawn outside the boundaries for the first tour of the season. 
We’ve picked up some new helmet cams and we’ve been itching to get them out for a test run. Our previous helmet [...]
