Editor's Note: Last spring big-mountain snowboarding legend Jeremy Jones set out with two-time Olympian Elena Hight on an ambitious foot-powered expedition across California’s John Muir Wilderness. Jeremy documented the journey in a travel journal that recounts their nine-day mission. What follows is his entry from day 7 of filming for Ode To Muir with photos and videos he captured along the way.
The view from Basecamp on day seven.
“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” ― John Muir
Sucked every last drop of marrow out of the day. Two new peaks and a sunset party lap down a granite couloir in a magnificent pink light – a fitting end to a memorable Easter day. Halfway up the boot pack of the first line of the day, I am reminded of all the amazing Easters I have had raging down Alaskan spine walls. Up until three years ago, without thought – this time of the year meant one thing: Alaska.

Or is it that I have found a ton of open space and blank spots on the map and it does not require a plane ticket, tiptoeing over bergschrunds or waiting out ten-day storms?
I am not concerned with my shift in focus. I am 30 miles to the closest road, and none of the peaks out of my tent have names. Being Easter, the day was not done with the sun. After dinner, the boots went back on and we hiked a ridge above camp to see the full glory of the rising of the moon.

It’s Snowmageddon in California. Following the state's recent four day megastorm, resorts across the state are reporting between 4-11 FEET of fresh pow. The storm was extra gracious to the Eastern Sierra, which dumped over 130 inches of new snow at Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain. But that's not saying that things up North are shabby—it’s quite the opposite. Both North and South Lake Tahoe resorts scored big time with about 50-90 inches of snowfall. Here’s the official breakdown of what

Of course, Travis Rice was going to put on a show at Kings and Queens of Corbet’s—Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is his backyard after all. Launching into the infamous couloir, Rice went HUGE by not only airing Corbet’s but also the subsequent kickers at the bottom. All in all, it was an absolute dream ride. If you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like to go full send into Corbet’s, here’s your chance. Rice just dropped the POV from his first run and it’s insane. RELATED: Watch the 2019 Kings

JOHN MUIR NEVER SAID the statement you attributed to him:
“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
The correct quote is:
“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”
That “When one tugs…” misquote is indiscriminately posted on websites, Twitter and other social networks. I am disappointed that you did not verify the quote before duplicating this misquote. It is only a modernized, shortened paraphrase of what Muir wrote, and is not nearly as interesting, eloquent, and charming as Muir’s original.
The correct quote as John Muir wrote and published it is this:
“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”
