Have fun, go hard, then go harder. Photo: Crawling Spider Photography. Sunday, March 23, 2014. Welcome To The Buck Parade. It doesn't happen every day.). It took us a bit to get everything sorted out at the trailhead, but we were skinning at dawn and watched alpenglow on Albright and Static Peaks turn to a gorgeous sunrise as we passed through the meadow at the bottom of Wimpy's and traversed into Stewart's Draw. Booting up to the East Ridge from the Timberline Lake basin. That I saw a clean line filled ...

Have fun, go hard, then go harder. Photo: Crawling Spider Photography. Sunday, February 8, 2015. And Then It Got Worse. After going for the Sunday Funday Ménage á Trois. And seeing The Nugget looking fat in the distance a couple of days later,. Scotty and I figured we'd take advantage of probable good conditions to give 'er a go. I mean, 6" of new snow with warm temps and a day of sunshine for it to settle- how could we go wrong? And I haven't gotten to ski these Voilé V6's. Taking the last few steps up ...

Have fun, go hard, then go harder. Photo: Crawling Spider Photography. Sunday, March 29, 2015. My Very Own March Madness. 11,000' of elevation gain. 7:29:59 to the finish. 2nd-Place Singlespeed, 6th Overall. Oof Uh, uh, uh-uh. Bam ba-bam-bam-bam. Grrr. Wheeeeeeeeee! That's roughly what Zen felt like the first time 'round. Capitalize all of those characters to describe the second lap. The race started with Gordon Wadsworth. So, judgment got the better of me and I backed off to a pace that still felt like ...

Playing With Gravity: January 2014
http://ajplayingwithgravity.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Have fun, go hard, then go harder. Photo: Crawling Spider Photography. Sunday, January 19, 2014. When we drove over the Pass at 2am on Friday, there were at least 20 cars in the lot, with skiers milling about chatting it up. After the initial confusion passed, we realized that the full moon had extended the ski day into the wee hours. Perfectly clear sky, little wind, warm temps. Those people were stoked! Brrr, it's early. Scotty had a day off from patrolling up at Targhee. We finally started feeling a l...

Playing With Gravity: December 2013

Have fun, go hard, then go harder. Photo: Crawling Spider Photography. Friday, December 27, 2013. Christmas and the Apocalypse. Once again this year, with Erica being Jewish and me being indifferent, I chose Christmas as a day for adventuring in the mountains. I mean no crowds, bluebird skies, fresh powder, and a similarly motivated friend- perfect. Putting in a fresh skintrack through low-elevation facets was slow work. Good thing Scotty was there to keep me entertained. And then widened up at the dogleg.

Have fun, go hard, then go harder. Photo: Crawling Spider Photography. Thursday, March 12, 2015. Each Day A New Adventure. Will conditions work out? Will I fall off of this mountain? The late Andreas Frannson wrote of it in his journal: "Would it be a game worth playing at all if the outcome was certain? The Ford Couloir is the funnel-shaped feature dropping from the summit, and the Stettner Couloir is the skinny one in the lower right. The Chevy is the gully that connects the two, where the line is ...
