I'm trying to go back and post stuff in chronological order, so stay tuned for more and keep an eye on the archives becasue the new "old" posts won't show up at the top of the page...

Fall turns

Got out for some early season storms mid September and skid a popular hit up Garnet Canyon in GTNP for some Fall powder. Teewinot looked really good this morning with the new snow

Cave Couloir in all her glory, look close, can you see tracks?

Celebratory sandwich from Dornan's :) and a good end to a great day!

More From S. America

Since I was old enough to know South America's season were opposite the Northern Hemispheres I schemed making the pilgrimage. Last August (2009) my brother accompanied me and we had a blast, here's a few more clips

We kind of got the runaround with weather/conditions but had a pretty good time to boot anyway, unfortunately we didn't have such a great camera to capture it all but my Nikon coolpix s1 worked ok

driving up to Las Lenas, finally looking like some good snow and terrain

the famed "Marte" not running

Two days before leaving the storm of the year began dropping the beginnings of 8' of snow, this resulted in somewhat of an inter lodge with no lifts running and all outside activities hampered till the storm lifted. Someone was living in this bus, all the snow on it was new.

Flashback to one year ago: South American Winter, Cerro Rincon

Last my search for snow took me to Argentina, heres a few pix

Cerro Rincon, mid August ~5000 M. or 17,000 feet high. Notice the lhamas in the lower right corner, actually called Guanacos, they're endangered and very rare. This was taken close to 14000' elevation in the La Plata area of the Andes. 2 hrs from Mendoza

Early sunrise looking East

High point, bad weather among other thing mucked it up so we turned around.

Whatcha been up to?

Just had a great summer in Moab, it was enough to take my mind off skiing for a few months at least...

Diamond Peak, Lemhi Range

This is just a clip pulled off of google images but the descent route is pointed out, I'm sure someone else has skid it but not that I've heard of personally so if you know shout it out. Diamonds is just over 12000' and is the 4th highest peak in Idaho. The are see's very little traffic, literally "Private Idaho." You can drive a truck to 8500'.

All three brothers doing a summit photo.

We nicknamed the two end bowls anorexia and belimia...

I'd say we we scored.

Beard Mtn stoke 2 seasons past

Backside of Beards Mtn in the Tetons, caught it in perfect conditions just before everything warmed up. Enjoy!

Where did these come from?

Max dropping in

Turn Dammit!

All in all a pretty nice day on the back of Beards Mtn.

a bit of video from the end of the day, really poor quality but fun to watch...
