Alta, UT Report: Full Speed Down Little Chute w/ Mandatory Air Report from November 21, 2021 I started hiking at the crack of 1 pm yesterday.

I figured if I […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | November 22, 2021 1 Comment

Lake Tahoe, CA Backcountry Report: Spine, Air, Sluff Crossing Fun Report from February 22, 2019 We went backcountry skiing in Lake Tahoe today, again. The snow was immaculate, again. We were exhausted from a big tour yesterday, so we chose something short and simple. Then, we ended up in a mini-zone that wasn’t so simple and it was crazy fun.

What’s Better on Skis? Speed or Air? My thoughts wandering afar, I glanced down. Yikes! I’m speeding again. I try to be as law abiding as possible. Sure, I don’t obey the speed limit very often, but I try to refrain from truly speeding. That is until this time every year. About the second week of October or so. Every year.
