And here is a current picture at A-Basin. Looks like they already have about 5 inches of new snow today! The powder just keeps coming!...

My buddy Aaron is moving to Alaska next week, so we wanted to do one last Colorado back country trip together before he left. So Nate, Aaron, and myself met up at the Morrison lots at 4:00 a.m. to...

Yes, those are snowmobile tracks. My guess is that they were a few days old and it looks like they were highpointing. I lost their tracks as we got much lower.

Looks awesome! I haven't been on this site in about 2 years and it is amazing to see how big your kid has gotten since then! I just had a kiddo not to long ago (the reason I haven't been doing a...

The amazing thing was that the snow was completely consolidated. We skied back to about .15 miles from the parking area. Not even the people hiking up were post-holeing at 11:00.

As a former midwesterner, I know exactly what you mean about dreaming of lines like those. Nice TR, Evans has some great lines to it!

This is my first post in quite a while, but I thought I'd put this TR up since it has been my first day out in the back country this Spring and the snow was just so nice. I am a little late posting...

Yes it is, although it appears as though the hut's best days are behind it. I also saw the back of a pop top just sitting at the base of the gulch at treeline. It looked like someone was living in...

I wish I was on Sneffels today. That is my favorite peak that I haven't yet climbed.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner, Mayflower Gulch it is. 25 points for you ChicagoMike.

Okay, the first person to guess which gulch I went to today gets 25 points.

I couldn't have picked a more perfect day in the early season to do a little touring and skiing with my dog Juneau. ...

raym is right on, dogs will protect you no matter what the situation. For those of you unsure about whether to get a dog or not, I think I speak for almost everyone with a dog that you will never...

Definately a fan of big dogs, but I don't hate small dogs... I'd never buy one though. Did a Pug piss on you or something?

The only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.

Mine is already in mid season form for the back country. Here he is having fun in the past storms in Denver.

My park ranger friend confirmed it is indeed a pelvis!

KC and I headed up Bard Peak on Saturday, and were pleasantly surprised with the area. The trail goes along Bard creek most of the way and the valley ends with the peak towering over it. This was...

On Saturday the 30th Mike, Aaron, KC, and I climbed and skied off the backside of Torreys. We originally planned on skiing the tuning fork, but there were a lot of climbers in there and other...

It was great meeting you guys, nice work on Little Bear!

Ireallyliketoski, it's too bad you weren't able to get up Blanca... The weather that weekend was awful. At least you got to ski most of...

A few weeks ago Chicago Mike, Aaron, and I headed down to the Sangres to climb and ski 2 great Colorado 14ers. We climbed Little Bear the day after setting up camp and climbed and skied Blanca. ...

We saw that on Saturday. It definately looked as though a cornice broke off. We stayed away from all East and Southern exposures since there was some significant wind loading. Glad to hear you...

There was around 3.5 miles of traversing/slogging. We had to slog about 1.5 miles in deep powder, then had all the steep powder pillows to ski down. After that it put us in the main drainage where...

"And nice beef jerky stoke, too!"

My favorite backcountry snack!

Awesome shots! Yeah I hate chopsticks too, I use the stab method.

Actually he popped right out of that, my camera shut off right at that point.

It would have been a blast to make 3-4 more runs in that bowl, but time was a constraint and we didn't have a car at Vail, so we had to make it to Frisco. It was definately a slog at some points...

I've tried to do this descent for a few years, but weather conditions have turned me back, but on Saturday Chicagomike and my buddy Aaron were able to ski this great line through the Eagle's Nest...

I got super lucky and was able to access the system 3 times to score tickets... The first time in it kicked me out as I was trying to buy them. The second time I was actually able to purchase our...

After being sent to Canada (Eastern side with no mtns) for a month to work, it was great to get back home to Colorado and ski. This time however, I brought the soon-to-be Mrs. Mountain Freak with me...

I finally decided to be a two planker...
I bought a pair of Black Diamond Killowats with the free ride plus bindings. I'm using them at the resorts now and love it. Back country this spring will...

I was making some b/c turns at Jones Pass and saw the huge crown line on Stanley Slide path on the way back... That thing was huge! The whole side of the mountain slid!:eek:

Ha!
I live by you too. I made a first descent down Chatfied ave near Garrison. I was skiing these sweet 50+ degree slopes in the King Soopers Parking lot! I love these huge storms.

Bwahahahaha! Nice work!

Yeah sorry Dave :biggrin: ... Did a ton of b/c riding this year, but filmed a lot instead of taking pics. I'll keep the TR's coming from now on.

The Lost Rat Couloir is deeply inset into Grays Peak, and sees few skiers. Last year Mike and I hit this coolie, and it was so much fun that we decided to hit it again. It was a beautiful Colorado...

That was a great day dude! I took some video of Col Man in the coolie. As soon as I can load it to a host I'll post it. Sadly this is my first post in about 5 months. They blocked this site at...

This was from back in September, but I finally got around to making this video of a climb up Crestone Needle (14,097 ft.) with my buddy Mike. This is my first video TR so forgive me if it isn't...

Grew up on farmland in rural Wisconsin water skiing and wakeboarding. Mountains were calling So I ended up in Colorado.

That was quite a cliff jump. Nice work.

Nice touch busting out Hammer, so when are you going to put New Kids on the Block for the next sound track?:biggrin:

Next TR I want to see you in the b/c skiing down the mtn in your Wranglers:D

Second... Wet powder? is that like taking a dry bath? What is this wet powder you speak of?

You ski in jeans?

WOW.... Way to find the chest deep stuff!

Sweet, shots. Boarded Bierstadt last year, and got crappy snow as well due to the west facing aspect. Heard the "Whooomph" sound as well, but on flat surface. Looks awesome!

There are no rails in the back country. That is all.

Mt Bancroft June 11th. Need I say more?

Not sure about the car... Here's one more pic

Pic from Switzerland. Not sure when this was though.
