Mt. Shasta Conditions Report: Warm Days, Good Climbing on CA’s Largest Glaciers July brings classic summer weather to Mt. Shasta; days are warm and winds mild with relief from the heat found on the upper mountain and glaciers. We wrapped up the south side season and are no longer leading trips on Avalanche Gulch or the West Face. After the drought winter of 2014, we were pleasantly surprised to have really good climbing on the mountain. […] Conditions Report Guest Author | July 14, 2014 1 Comment
RALS WHITE | 13/14 Northstar Rals White showing us to play the cards you were dealt with, especially when that comes to Tahoe’s previous season which was not par. Honestly, the worst year ever. Lucky for the YDKS kids that Northstar has one of the best snow making systems in California keeping them up and off the dirt, for most of winter. […] Guest Author | July 10, 2014 0 Comments

Mt. Hood, OR Conditions Report: July 5th & 6th Summer Skiing What did you do over the 4th of July weekend? Whatever patriotic activity you participated in, you could have gone to Mt Hood instead.

Mt. Moran, Wyoming Conditions Report: Summer Solstice Party Ski 12,605-foot Moran is a classic mountain, and skiing the skillet is mega classic, so in order to make it obscure, we decided to have a summer solstice party and also ski during a snowstorm. The rest of the trip was clear and sunny, but we nailed the timing and became engulfed in a cloudy, white-out snowstorm just as we were arriving at the summit. And, right as we finished the ski, it got sunny again. That was obscure I think. I bet most people don’t try to do that. “I was surprised that the edit showed so many close ups of my face.” Said Silas, the star of the edit.

A Opinionated Canadian Perspective of Beartooth Basin, MT/WY… A lot of ski trips start by reading magazines or internet articles about sweet places to ski. This was no different. After having read a Powder Magazine article last spring on this place and a Snowbrains.com article this spring, I decided it must get done. These type of ski hills are disappearing – they donโt fit the corporate model and the snow is […] Conditions Report Guest Author | July 1, 2014 7 Comments
