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.

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Immaculately Dry Late September Powder In A Ravishing Chute

Report from September 18, 2023 Monday morning was clear and cold. This time of year here is usually hot and melty… Not this year. This year all of September has been cold and stormy.

SnowBrains 2021/22 Lake Tahoe, CA Highlight Video | Powder, Friends, & Good Times Above Big Blue

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 […]

SnowBrains 2022 Utah Highlight Video | Mt. Baldy Or Bust!

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 […]
