Vertical Logic: December 2013
http://verticallogic.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. The photos of skiing in Crested Butte were enough to provoke jealously all Fall. Adding Irwin to this winter's race calendar seemed like a no brainer because of the conditions. Complete with a cat ride to a full backcountry race, an awesome post race party with the CB crew and a powder day on Sunday - all expectations were exceeded. Lots of spandex in the backcoutnry. I got the jump out of transition but was quickly passed by Brian, Max and John on the powdery flats, at which ...

Vertical Logic: April 2013
http://verticallogic.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 25, 2013. Three words that have been resonating in my head for the last 24 hours. It’s been that long since Andy and Jason Dorais and I reached the Bradley-Taggart trailhead after a perfect day in the Tetons. It all started with a text from Andy Wednesday morning, “Call ASAP. Tetons? Nevermind that I hadn’t swung an ice axe, or rappelled off anything. I was chuffed on an invite to the Tetons, these dudes had been there and knew what it would take. That was enough for me. That afternoon we...

Saturday, February 16, 2013. ISMF World Championships Week. On Thursday 2/7 Dominique and I left Salt Lake City and flew to Torino, IT. We arrived Friday, despite a juggled itinerary and several lost bags. We spent the majority of the day in the Torino airport waiting for our bags and picking up other teammates. When everyone had arrived we stopped for lunch at a cafe in Torino and then set off for France. Having previewed the course the day before I felt confident on the descent. I gapped Andy a few...

Colorado Backyard Adventures: Hiking Schneeberg
http://www.coloradobackyard.com/2014/01/hiking-schneeberg.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. I wrote this a while ago, but had not published it out. It may be useful information for someone looking for a dayhike in the Vienna, Austria area so here goes. I recently had a day off from work in Vienna and so I headed to Schneeberg to get a day hike in. At Wein Neustadt look at the boards for trains to Puchberg am Schneeberg and then hop on. This train runs every hour all day. Also at the train station you can buy tickets for the Salamander cog railway. Afterwards I hiked do...

Colorado Backyard Adventures: April 2015
http://www.coloradobackyard.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. Never Summer Range Traverse. I set out the first weekend of April to ski from Cameron Pass to RMNP with Mark Koob. We had attempted this traverse a few years ago with another friend, Travis, but decided to bail at Lake of the Clouds after unfavorable weather. Using the knowledge gained from the last time I set a more ambitious goal of also summitting all the peaks from Richthofen to Baker and getting as many ski descents in as possible. Rocky mountain national park. I wrote this a...

Adventures Photography of Jeff Ambrose. Anchored to the Sky. Adventures Photography of Jeff Ambrose. Anchored to the Sky. Paragliding – Managing the Risks. March 11, 2016. Training teaches you not only how to react, but gives a healthy respect for how quickly things can go wrong. Are pilots making the wrong decisions, or am I just more aware because I am a bit more seasoned? Historically, the best way to determine risk is usually to look at the numbers. I am an engineer by training and with post grad...
