Why Thursday Night Is The Best Night Of The Week In Salt Lake City, Utah

The famous 9x9

“HAPPY THURSDAY!” A concerningly large group of cyclists shout at you as they pass by, swallowing up the street in Salt Lake City, Utah on any given Thursday night.

Patagonia, Argentina, Backcountry Report: Lenga Tree Forest Powder Skiing & a Sad Avalanche Story

Report from September 4, 2024 Tuesday night was windy as hell… The wind woke me up a few times down here in town and that has happened very few times in my 14 seasons here. I knew in the night that we’d have to downgrade our plans and be real safe out there the next day. The wind from Tuesday […]

Cerro Catedral, Argentina, Report: Tasty Tree Skiing as Ice Finally Turns to Powder in Patagonia

Report from September 2, 2024 August was a rough month here. Cold, icy, un-snowy. Our hopes were set on a snowy September and on Day 1 of September, it snowed… We got out there on Tuesday, September 2, to sample the goods. Our first run in the trees was splendid. The snow wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t deep, and we were […]

Trip Report: The Sensational Views of a Ski Adventure on Cerro Lopez, Argentina

Report from August 29, 2024 One of the most gorgeous places on Earth is Bariloche, Argentina’s 6,811′ Cerro Lopez. The most breathtaking hike of my life was summiting this mountain and taking its north ridge right down into Lake Nahuel Huapi in March 2009. In July 2009, I skied from just above Refugio Lopez but never from the summit proper. […]

Cerro Catedral, Argentina, Report: Long, Slushy Laps in the Sun With the Legendary Santa Rosa Storm Incoming

Report from August 30, 2024 The sun finally came out and slushed up the mountain on Friday. We’d been waiting for this day… We showed up about noon ready for the corn harvest and it didn’t disappoint. The line was long on Nubes, so we opted for Nire to Lenga laps. We also snuck in a couple of Nubes laps […]

Cerro Catedral, Argentina, Report: 1 Day of Chalk + 1 Day of Corn on 4 New World-Class Chairlifts

Report from August 11 & 12, 2024 The past two days at Cerro Catedral in Bariloche, Argentina have been a hoot. Yesterday was cold, crisp, and chalky. Today was warm, slushy, and splashy. Which day was better? I think a ski racer would have liked yesterday but as a freerider, I loved the spring snow today. Nubes, the highest chair […]

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Whip Cream Spines & Granite Towers

Report from August 6, 2024 Today, we went for a jaunt in the alpine. Bad weather has kept us out of our favorite zones for the past 7-days. Yesterday we got hoodwinked by the weather and missed out on a glimmering powder run in a fierce wind. Today was also forecast to be cloudy, so we slept in a bit. […]

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Sunshine, Powder, & Granite Towers on Day 1 of Season #14

Report from July 29, 2024 I just got down to Argentine Patagonia last night after 52-hours of travel. Well, it woulda been only 28 hours of travel but I missed my flight in Santiago, Chile, because my phone was still on Utah time and I didn’t realize it until it was too late… Yeah, that hurt. A full unplanned 25 […]
