Fantasy Ridge is terrain that only opens a few days per year. It’s challenging, wild, beautiful, alpine, short, and sweet. It’s also one of the 97 lines in legendary Andrew McLean’s “Chuting Gallery” book. He calls the […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | April 4, 2024 0 Comments
Trip Report: “The Y Couloir Alternate” in Little Cottonwood Canyon, UT Report from April 2, 2024 I drove from Tahoe to Utah 2-days ago. Yesterday, I decided to go for a classic: “The Y Couloir” in Little Cottonwood Canyon. I’d skied The Y Couloir with Martin & Daryn back in 2019 and loved it. I haven’t been in Utah for 2 months and I wasn’t familiar with the snowpack but I […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | April 3, 2024 0 Comments
Palisades Tahoe, CA, Report: A Nasty, Precision Landing in “The Tube Alternate” & a 580-Miles Drive to Park City, UT Report from April 1, 2024 Yesterday was a long, fun day.

Lake Tahoe, CA, Backcountry Report: 1 Ridiculously Long Powder Run Report from March 24, 2024 Yesterday we skied one ridiculously long powder run above Lake Tahoe, CA. Fox and I were exhausted. Well, I was exhausted. Fox beat me to the summit by 12 minutes… We recharged on top then dropped this endless line. The snow was exquisite. I slashed and sprayed and hooted as I bounded downhill. We savored. […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | March 25, 2024 0 Comments
Lake Tahoe, CA, Backcountry Report: Powder Returns! Report from March 23, 2024 Yesterday was Fox’s 1 year anniversary of his hip fracture. We went for a walk. Clouds and views were in and out.

We came […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | March 24, 2024 0 Comments
