“We are not trying to race down the hill to see who can go the fastest. We are trying to make the most of the terrain. There are so many approaches to the same line and how you decide to express yourself on a slope reflects your style and personality” -Taro Tamai Continue reading Frosty Mountain

Finally Some Decent Riding!
Overall, this winter hasn’t been anything to write home about. Persistent deep slab instabilities (reports of large, destructive avalanches have been reported daily for the last two month) have been plaguing our state’s snowpack, keeping everyone in check and making conservative terrain choices. But the good news is that there’s always some safe slopes to be ridden and always some friends to enjoy them with. Continue reading Finally Some Decent Riding!
April 20-22: Moab, UT (again) and the Beginning of Training for my First Ultra-Marathon
So after last weekend trip with LT and Moe, Bec and I took a trip to Moab ourselves to ride some mellower trails and even do a trail run.

Again, these guys were awesome. Continue reading April 20-22: Moab, UT (again) and the Beginning of Training for my First Ultra-Marathon

Buddy has a camper we are heading down in.” Continue reading April 12-15: Moab, UT
TR: The End of One Season, The Beginning of Another
Typically during this time of year, I’m getting after it on my splitboard riding the peaks and lines that are finally safe enough to ride. Not this year. Things never picked up, and Colorado was plagued with a shallow snowpack sitting on top of garbage. But after the season I had last year, I can’t really complain. I still had some good days this year, but nothing like last year. So, last week I decided it was time to put my board away and get back on two wheels. With temperatures soaring in the high country and even more so in the front range, Becca and I headed west to Fruita, CO for our first mountain biking trip together.
