Any more details/names released? I had a friend skiing into Opus Hut on Friday.

Bump. These retail for over $700.

Brand new. $450 shipped.

Good thread. Easy to armchair, but the truth is, anyone who spends any amount of time in the backcountry has made a bad call or two. Depending on your level of training, experience, and risk...

Home for now. Even though we haven't had much snow, we've had good enough stability to get out on slopes that I normally wouldn't expect to ski in January. These pics are from...

I found a seven2 paddle just above Lunch Counter. PM to identify and claim it.

Nick and I cruised up to the pass on Thursday morning, Summer...

at the pass this morning around 9:00 a.m. I observed 3 to 5" of new snow on top of a well consolidated and frozen snowpack. The new snow was pretty dense, slabby and upside down in pockets up to...

this is my first summer in jackson and I'm looking to connect with a few paddlers. I feel comfortable on class 3 or lower; if you want to meet up, shoot me a pm
