Soldier Area Backcountry Trek
This trek was originally planned to be an ascent and ski/board descent of Mount Borah, but weather conditions on Borah had produced dangerous avalanche conditions. In spite of my reputation amongst friends and family as being somewhat of an adrenaline junkie, I’m not into trying to best Mother Nature. With this in mind, we abandoned …
First MTBR 2013
I still haven’t given up on the skiing, but… Time to get back on the bike. I had grand intentions of going from Camelsback to the top of Scott’s and back, but once I actually got on the bike, I just wasn’t feeling it. (Plus I didn’t have enough time to get back and get …
Jackson Hole – 2013 TR
Well, it has been a week since we got back from our annual “family” trek to Jackson Hole. I know I’m supposed to be enjoying this “spring” weather that we are having, but technically it IS still winter. Poor Bogus Basin is about out of snow, and I’m already having withdrawls at the prospective of …
Winter Ski Mountaineering Training in Garnet Canyon
After the failed attempt on Mount Moran a few weeks earlier, Aaron recommended that I “forget about the big peaks” for a time and focus on practicing on my uphill climbing technique. I took this advice seriously, and invested in better equipment. (My new Dynafit Manaslu skis and custom Dynafit Speed Skins are proving to …
Attacking the Mores Uphill
As a wrestler in high school and college, it was always an interesting dynamic to see who paired off with each other in practices. What I noticed in high school was that there were certain guys who would pick their buddy, or someone who wasn’t as much of a challenge. As a result, those guys …
The Mount Moran Quest Begins – First Winter Attempt
Sometimes in life you get your butt kicked. This past weekend, (February 16th, 2013), was one of those times for me. I’ll be the first to admit that getting whipped isn’t fun, but if life wasn’t full of challenges and tough times, it wouldn’t be nearly as fulfilling. I love ski mountaineering for many reasons, …

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 …
