Pilot Butte is (almost) IN with good snow in the forecast!

Hey - Here's a head's up to the local Bend crew to get on up to Pilot Butte for some rare turns in town. Here's my recon mission this afternoon. Pretty "low tide", but filling up fast with the new snow this afternoon! Go get some!

Paulina Ice!

Hard Ice is Hard Work! Johnny Rocket on the Right Side Falls

Went out last week and got some Ice Climbing in at Paulina Falls. Here's some shots from fellow climber and photogapher Brent McGregor, plus some shots (and maybe a video if I get to it) that I took while top-roping my first-ever waterfall ice.

Ridin' the storm out

Here's a link to an article in the Bend Bulletin about "The Cone". I was lucky enough to be asked to go ride some of the friggen' great pow last week with a couple of the guys from the Bulletin, working on a story about our beloved Cinder Cone. Here's the story: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080111/SPORTS05/801110409/1013&nav_category= and a link to a couple great pow shots that "Tullis", our local snowboarding news photographer took of me: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080111/SPORTS05/801110409&template=flashgallery&no_audio=1&use_subhed=1&append_connected=0
