Bad Moon A Risin....

One more shot from yesterday.  Nice view in the Gros Venture's with the moon coming up. 

Wednesday Mid Week Break Up

 Wait, I forgot my sunglasses and the sun is out for the first time since December??? Damn, it is really bright out!  

We snuck out of work a couple of hours early this afternoon and did some sunny day shredding.  Super fun.

 The snow has gotten a bit rotten down low, but up high, on north facing aspects, it is still sweet.

Riding the cornice line about ready to launch.

So freaking in love..

 Last Friday was one for the ages.  Yet again, rain and grossness in the valley gave way to a full on, white smoke powder day up high.  We had to roll up to 11,000ft to find it, but hot damn, so well worth it!  Got to ride into one of my favorite basins, chase after a few new lines, spend a lot of time in the white room, truly couldn't of been any better.  

Me super pumped in Jewels Bowl with many of  the filled in lines I have skied in the past.  Never seen them so filled in, ever.  Amazing.  

 Yep, Drewski full getting after it.  My favorite pic I have ever taken sledding.  It embodies everything that is so cool about the sport.  

 Drew took this of me and with a lot of photoshop love it came out pretty sweet. 

 I have tried to link this line up on a sled before from the bottom, but there has never been enough snow.  After a lot of scouting and some pretty aggressive moves, Drew and I pioneered it!

LOVE THIS PLACE!

Feeling pretty damn lucky...

 March always makes me feel so fortunate to live where we do.  Being able to work a full day, then head up deep into the mountains and ride for a few hours after work is amazing.  Drew and I left town at 4 and were up in this scene by 4:30.  Outstanding.  It was a treat seeing the sun for a change of pace.  

Groundhog Day...

This wonderful scene has been unfolding each and every day sledding this winter.  Literally, everyday has been a powder day since 2014 came to town.  Last weekend it was heavy enough snow that it was sticking to my goggles which requires a ninja like move with your left hand (non throttle hand) to get the snow off and keep going all in one fluid motion. 

Random Shots from a Random Weekend

When your best buds move snow for a living and it has been dumping for a month straight, sometimes you have to find time to ride when it's dark out!  Drew has been going non stop with plowing snow of late and finding time to ride hasn't been as smooth as normal.  Luckily, he is always game for a ride, no matter the time, place, and or fatigue factor.  Last night we went up Cache Creek in the dark and rode bottomless pow.  Riding at night requires a lot of finesse,  patience, and some yellow lenses.  

Drew, ripping a dark turn aided by my sled light.  

 Today we managed to get out for a huge 7 hour mission up in our favorite stomping grounds, Mosquito Creek.  Keeping consistent with this funky weather pattern, it was a rain snow mix in the parking lot and completely blower up high.  

 Dude......, your are shinning the light in my eyes.

Deep trenches are fun no matter the time. 

March is coming in like a big ol lion!

 Well, ol man winter continues to brew up good stuff for us.  Fittingly, the first day of March came in strong this morn.  We are supposed to get close to 4 feet by Monday.  SKiing this morning on Teton Pass was sweeeeeet!  Super fun mission with the whole Weikert family who is in town (our buds from Germany).  

Francesca doing her best to thumb us a lift back to the top.  No sooner did we get back to the top of the pass, they closed it.  

 Me and Andrea getting pelted with snow hitchhiking in the back of a truck at 50mph!  It was Andrea's first pass mission.  She was all smiles!

The whole Weikert crew.  Andrea, Manni (today was his 50th bday) and Francesca in a blizzard on top of Glory.
