Video: The Joy and Pain of Winter Camping with the ‘Roadless’ Crew

Winter camping is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's hard to beat the convenience of waking up right below the slope you're going to ride. But on the other hand, it doesn't matter how close you are if your boots are frozen solid and your buddy refuses to get out of his/her sleeping bag. It becomes even more complicated when you bring week's worth of food and camera gear into the equation. In essence, winter camping offers serious advantages, but only if you're fully prepared to take advantage of them.

Luckily, you'd be hard-pressed to find a crew better prepared to handle the issues associated with winter camping than the Roadless crew. Jeremy, Travis, and Bryan are experienced veterans of many comparable missions, as was the rest of their crew. There were definitely some cold, tired, and exasperated moments, but clearly everything worked out for the best.
