Ball Butte Fresh Lines

Here's the colonel, settting up...for a great pow slash..... Snow conditions were pretty stable, but the colonel did manage to set a little slide off on his big drop.....

A very rewarding trip, especially since it was yet another bluebird day that POWDR / Mt. Bachelor couldn't get the summit open for the fresh goods.

It's also nice to stay out till the sun drops....

Meanwhile, back in Central Oregon....

...Matt gets in trouble for speaking the obvious about Mt. Bachelor

Jackson Hole Rocks!

G money worked the deal, and we are IN at the West Bank compound in Wilson, steps away from Teton Pass, Jackson Hole, and the "endless" backcountry opportunities in Jackson. In fact, Endless, or Mile long couloir might be on the list for tomorrow. Today, we hit the nearly foot of fresh from yesterday's storm on the Crags, and Casper bowl. Here's a shot from the "Chevy Snow photo" website from yesterday at Jackson Hole:

A couple more good shots from Jackson, (Endless Couloir)

February Sick Days

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.
