Bomber Traverse in the talkeetnas. Huts for the trip. Should be a member of http://www.mtnclubak.org/index.cfm. Snowbird Hut is on the traverse owned by the AAC.
Glacier travel but pretty straight...

Before MRA, Mitsui Corporation held a ski lease for the proposed Hatcher Pass ski area. Yuichiro Miura was a representative of Mitsui. He came to hatcher to check it out. They chartered a helicopter...

interesting I rented the Manitoba cabin with a large group of friends this winter. I did not notice any grooming. The trails were well packed out by the local cabin owners and other users of the...

nose butter?

easy to do. the person I just skied it with has made the same mistake. Missed the part about the trail. I kind of just wanted to start dropping fall line.

That is correct. I always figured snow conditions could be pretty thin out there.

there is a local jackson area guy that has definitely done the routes in there also. Tom Walter was a friend and ski partner. the photos brought back memories of hanging out talking climbing with...

you went in with Clint? That was a great route they put up.

nice write up. Rapinski definitely offers up some nice views. Never a good idea to just to drop off something in coastal alaska. Sometimes the cost to adventure can be too high....

They all shop at Bent Gate. Not open Saturdays and no help at all fixing Dynafit toe lever.

Myron Cope would be proud.

I have had mine patched at a welding shop. It is a Bosch but probably pretty similar.

They were all older bindings I had around. But tricks and kickers take their toll. I didn't see any 50' this season but a few 30's went down.

My son just picked up 4 custom posts to replace the 4 he broke this season. Salewa sent them to him for about the price of shipping.

guess you didn't opt for the gold streak.

Thank you for the reply. I responded with a PM.

my son just called to say he has a hernia. We would like to find a surgeon at the above hospital who can advise and do the surgery. Was wondering if anyone here could make a recommendation.
Thank...

I have kids so

here is one that didn't have a happy ending.

All I know is get a piss bottle. Have fun paddling. If you ever want to paddle Prince William Sound get in touch.

That is typical here. Salt water eats stuff up. However all the trailering is short distance no traffic. I am pretty sure my boat is over 10.000 lbs.

I really do not pay much attention to Lou Dawson. Since apparently he considers me an expert I'll give an opinion. Sadly these guys screwed up. Condolences to the family and friends of the deceased....

If you have a low range 4 wheel drive use it. Does not hurt to have a few blocks around to chock the wheels.

my son first got this line last season but had turned back twice this year due to icy conditions. We usually boot it so we know the conditions. Anyway he has been busy with school and bandfest....

great video, great skiing, allot of win

nice photo however my experience with mids is they cannot withstand a serious storm. Great for communal area but better to collapse them during a real storm. Based on two extended winter trips where...

thought I would share a few of my son's photos from saturday.
If you wondered what Humble Pie looks like from the top....

so probably the only week this season anyone is getting 100,000' was last week.

where will you be for the future trip?

(970) 315-0584 sure that isn't a typo. AK area code is 907:fmicon:
where you planning to be next year?

My friend is skiing the Auras. Don't they weigh in at 7.5 pounds. A carbon Yvette which you do not want comes in at 7 lbs. Don't see much difference in .5 pounds. What else does the carbon get you?

only when there is something in it for them otherwise they are all for restrictions.

glad to here that . I agree that is what I...

What really does that have to do with anything, No I was not born here. Came up the day after I graduated college. Backpack one way ticket and $500. Been here 32 years. Raised a family have a...

No it is not. For one I do not think they ever brought their own helicopter but rather used existing operations. It is my opinion there is enough heli operations in AK. they do not need to be...

How about a big fuck you and go back to Colorado.

Was wondering about the canoe part so Google Earthed. Nice Trip.

we can only hope!
This issue will be so divisive it will take 10 years just to come up with a plan.

Did you try a local? Lot's of talent in haines. Would think someone would know someone. Try these people.

My son does some hucking (anything in site) The pins do not seem to break. The heel posts do. So I guess the energy is transferred there. Also the heel peice on the boot can break.

just wanted to say thanks to the friendly BC skiers who shared their stash. if you are on here. Ever come to AK look us up.

city sewer and water? Been thinking about pulling the trigger on a townhome in Triple Peaks.

good to see a TR starting off with fantastic adventure. That is the soul this place has been missing.

besides the lack of snow the elevations do not show up. Hard to tell how weak this sauce really is.

I have a 30 x 40 shop. I usually do not heat it. When I am working in there I warm it up with a wall mounted boiler unit. I have no idea the cost. however there are some very efficient boilers out...

apparently they do not even know where they are located. Guaranteed 100,000'. I guess the people of Seldovia didn't embrace them warmly. Quick let's find an operation sitting idle due to a tragedy...

I have the originals. I have had no issues in over 50 days in all conditions. They even released in a bad fall. So far I am very satisfied.

i would not modify the boots. If you can sell them for a good price dump them. The orange ones are no better. The tongue idea sucks no durability. Try and find a deal on some Garmont Cosmos. I now...

I'm working again today. Winds are back up. 8* 50 mph as we speak at Thompson pass. It was a great run around here. probably been wind hammered for at least a week up high. The next few days should...

Eureka Timberline is a classic. Good to see still making descent affordable tents.

I guess this is what John C was talking about. Doesn't even have a photo on his blog. Pretty pathetic. Sorry I bumped this. slowed the plunge.

Good to see you practicing. Could come in handy next week in the Chugach.
