Bogus Basin Cold Smoke Powder
Bogus Basin’s first big powder day of 2013! The measurements said 10 inches over a 24 hour period, and there was more than that on the stuff we were skiing. This was about as good as it gets at Bogus! Well, the day didn’t start out so good, (ask me about the hike out of …
New Year Trail Running
I’m amazed at how advanced athletic gear and equipment has become in the last several years. I just went for a trail run this afternoon in temperatures that were in the high teens and felt as compfortable as running in 60 degree temperatures. Back in the “old days”, (70’s and 80’s) I wouldn’t have been …
New Year’s at Bogus Basin (2012)
Just got back from a quick trip up to Bogus Basin for our New Year’s Day celebration. Along with yours truly the crew today was; my wife Ann, daughters Rachel and Valerie, and son-in-law Phil. We had a blast, loved the bright blue skies and even if the snow was sparse, we got in some …
Bogus Basin Christmas 2012
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Bogus Basin, Idaho. I did a solo trip on Christmas Eve and had great powder. It could have been better, but I slept in on a powder day – which is rare for me. Anyway, still had some decent shots in the Triangle and First Tracks in the Upper …
Bogus Basin Opening Day 2012-13 Season
Opening day 2012-2013 season at Bogus Basin! I was on the third chair and we should have been on the first, but right before we were to go on the crowd got a little out-of-hand. The conditions were sparse, but we were skiing/riding and that is what counts. I missed my shot at a really …
Half Marathon in the Boise Foothills
Here is my little “Forrest Gump” running project. This past Saturday, (December 8th, 2012), I decided to go for a little run in the Eagle Bike Park. I’ve been doing some 5-7 mile loops there, and that was what was on my mind. When I got to the southeast corner of the loop that I …

GoPro’s Big Adventure
I loaned my GoPro out to my friend, Andrew Shaber this weekend to do a little Cyclocross race in Nampa, Idaho. When I got into the office this morning, he had the camara sitting there on his desk. Then he proceeded to tell me about how he had looked at the footage and it was …
Snow (in October) at Bogus!
OK, I know that it really isn’t ski season yet, BUT there was a great early season snow storm up at Bogus. So, I thought this would be a good opportunity to put together a video that showcases what Bogus has to offer. The soundtrack is from the most recent release by September Say Goodbye …

Crashes and Cowpies
OK, I admit it. Occasionally I edit out stuff from my GoPro videos. Here is some recent stuff. The video below cotains the low-lights of the crashes and some cowpie dodging that we encountered on the Wyoming Peak and Shoal Creek trips. The best, (as in most blood drawn and most potential for bodily harm), …
Wyoming Peak Ride #3
I have now completed this ride 3 times since 2009. Each time has been dramatically improved in terms of the overall experience. The first year we got lost, trying to find the trailhead. That adventure is documented here, First two Wyoming Peak Rides. Last year was much better, but I had intended to shoot GoPro …
Shoal Lake Trek
The Adventure: The trek was inspired by my youngest brother. He and his son are runners and do a lot of hiking and hunting. We had both been into Shoal Lake once on separate occasions with our dad. He had taken us in on horseback, overnight pack trips when we were in the 8th/9th grades. …
What is a “Local”
A couple of weeks ago, on a nice Sunday morning in Jackson Hole, my wife and I were standing in a line for breakfast at the always popular “Nora’s Fish Creek Inn”. The two guys in front of us were becoming very agitated and the one was on his cell phone. Sounded like he was …
