Patagonia Backcountry Report: Riding a Mini-Avalanche & a Mini-Car on the Last “Powder” Day of the Season Report from September 23, 2023 Yesterday, we went for a walk with low expectations. It has rained and snowed for 2 days then gone clear. When we get lucky here, a cold clear night can suck the moisture of the snow and make the skiing great. But the snow was so heavy and wet and foggy saturated here on Friday… […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | September 24, 2023 0 Comments
Patagonia Backcountry Report: Immaculately Dry Late September Powder In A Ravishing Chute Report from September 18, 2023 Monday morning was clear and cold.

SnowBrains 2021/22 Lake Tahoe, CA Highlight Video | Powder, Friends, & Good Times Above Big Blue Lake Tahoe, CA is my favorite place to ski on Earth. It’s home.

Patagonia Backcountry Report: This Place Is Getting Too Filled In With Snow | Mini-Spines & High Tower Chutes Are Buried Report from September 12, 2023 Tuesday was the last sunny day of the week most likely. A large, wet, warm, Tahiti Express storm is clobbering us right now. Lotza rain, wind, and hopefully in the end – snow. Tuesday held dense, wind-pressed, and sun-kissed snow. There were quite a few people in the zone this day so I laid back […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | September 14, 2023 0 Comments
Patagonia Backcountry Report: Dropping The “Ridgewalker” Pillows & Hucking “The Grifter” Cliff in Deep Powder Snow Report from September 11, 2023 On Monday, we sauntered out into the backcountry for the afternoon.

We know this zone […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | September 13, 2023 0 Comments
SnowBrains 2022 Utah Highlight Video | Mt. Baldy Or Bust! I really didn’t ski that much in Utah in 2021/22. Most of my skiing activity there that season was very early season and very late and almost all of that was on 11,000′ Mt. Baldy at Alta Ski Area before & after they were open for the season. Mt. Baldy is so fun in lower snowpack conditions when the chute […] Featured Video Miles Clark | September 11, 2023 0 Comments
