Brian Story's account of skiing and more in Western Montana. Monday, June 23, 2014. 7th Annual Warren Wallow. Dropping in on Warren. Photo: Nick Vandenbos. Larch budding on the approach to Warren. Looking up the North face. Doug and the rest of the crew on the North face. Doug got to go first. Go Doug, go! Leah at the bottom of the face, with storm clouds brewing behind. Minutes later, the skies opened up, and we spent the next hour ducking. Under a rock as hail and lightening rained down everywhere.

Brian Story's account of skiing and more in Western Montana. Sunday, July 27, 2014. Three Joe traverse, Bass Creek. Bass Lake and beyond from Stormy Joe. I was finally able to spend a fine summery Sunday traversing from Little to Stormy Joe in Bass creek. I have wanted to do this traverse ever since hearing about Missoulian mountaineer Forest Dean's attempt last fall. It seems like kind of a long day in concept, but in reality it is quite doable, and I had a blast. 5th lifetime summit of Big St. Joe.

Brian Story's account of skiing and more in Western Montana. Thursday, October 9, 2014. Blue Mountan 30K race report. I had a great time at the Blue Mountain 30k run. The course is almost all runnable and very fast. Since it is not too long, I was able to go out fairly hard and hang onto an even pace to the end, more like a ski race than an ultramarathon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Blue Mountan 30K race report. Ben Parsons (Flathead bike/ski). JD (A Wasatch fast guy). Notes from Erewhon (Nick V). Simple...

Brian Story's account of skiing and more in Western Montana. Monday, February 23, 2015. White Cloud mountains - Castle Peak. White Cloud sunrise from camp. Leah was game to head out early, so we extended an already three-day weekend and made the drive to the East Fork of the Salmon and the five hour approach on the first day. The last two hours of the approach were all in the dark, but we were able to dead reckon to Baker lake without incident. Kick turn on the South face of Castle peak. Leah and me comi...
