VIDEO: August Trees | 1.5 Years Out Of Injury, Perspective Leads To Powder

South America in August, 2017 It’s my first time. Excuses: I’ve been trying to make the migration to South America for an endless winter for 10 years, but there was always an excuse. I don’t have enough time. I don’t have enough money, I have to work. I don’t know how. I don’t speak Spanish well enough. The list goes […]

Bariloche, Argentina Conditions Report: Nuking Wind, Deep Snow, No One Out

A storm hit Cerro Catedral in Bariloche, Argentina so hard last night that the mountain was 100% closed this morning. The wind was howling and the snow was coming down hard at dawn.   It was damn cold and snowing all the way down to town. I nonchalantly showed up to the mountain at 1pm to see what was going […]

“Quick n’ Dirty” Crystal Mountain, WA. Conditions Report: Wax Your Powder Skis!

Crystal mountain, trees, skiing, powder, tree skiing

[iframe id=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/w1YWOhObXyo”]     Well after some good days of recycled powder and hard charging resort laps the “winter storm advisory” finally happened! Not the huge dumps that hit further north, Tahoe and Jackson. But enough to stop me from thinking of mountain bikes, sunny days at the crag and what wearing shorts must be like. Instead had a wax […]

Video: Jerry Gets a Faceshot From A Tree

When you see a patch of powder near a tree, is it worth the risk? Well this Jerry thought so, but he ended up getting a faceshot from a tree instead of the untouched powder. We know it’s Friday, but make sure not to send it into the weekend like this guy. This video is cringe worthy, yet very humorous, […]

Bariloche, Argentina Conditions Report: World Class Tree Skiing

Patagonia tree skiing.

The world’s best tree skiing? Maybe. Certainly the best tree skiing I’ve ever experienced anywhere… Catedral ski resort in Bariloche, Argentina received 3+ feet of snow on the upper mountain over the weekend. Today was sunny and bright and was likely than any single day we had here last season. There was snow to the bottom of the mountain (which we never had last season) today which meant you could ski the incredible old growth Lenga tree forests on the lower mountain. These trees are large, very widely spaced

Fickle Snowpack Furor @ Kirkwood last week!

Last week Kirkwood Mountain was graced with a freak massive amount of new snow of…wait for it…3 inches! Given the season so far, that 3 inch storm yields to one of the deepest powder days of the year! With a bluebird forecast the day after the major snow event, I rallied up to the mountain to see what I could find in and beyond the boundaries. Albeit with a firm layer underneath, those 3 in […]

Search and Ye Shall Receive @ Kirkwood

For the fourth year in a row, the snowpack in Tahoe is lackluster for this time of year. Thankfully, Kirkwood received just enough snow to open 100% of their mountain from the storms to date. Unfortunately, we received some mixed precipitation and heavy Eastern winds […]

All Time Alaskan Tree Skiing

New Year’s finally provided some much needed snow in Turnagain Pass, AK. Although the winds were fierce and any snow above treeline was becoming wind scoured, the trees were finally filling in. The snow was dense, soft and fast. Despite receiving over 24 inches in the upper elevations, it was skiing about three inches. The wind had completely buffed the snow over and made for some all time tree skiing. It felt great to finally play around in the trees again! There’s no shortage of fun features from pillows, to multiple staged drops to air off of and keep you on your toes! Currently, it’s been cold for about a week without precipitation. Much […]

Slashin’ into the 75th Season @ Sugar Bowl – 12/06/14

The time is finally here…off-trail skiing and celebrating the opening day for Sugar Bowl’s 75th season. Opening day access was through the village via the awesome old school gondola. However, the meat of the skiing was on Mt. Lincoln. With light rain and a thick cloud layer it definitely was not the most ideal day in the weather department but fun prevailed. The terrain included anything from the Rahlve’s Run to Lake View for about halfway down the chair, and at that point, the groomer was the call as the off-trail snow was a wee bit sticky. The top half of Mt. Lincoln was smooth and fast yielding[…]

Squaw to Remove 5,000 Trees from Red Dog Area = New Lines & Better Skiing:

Map showing where the tree removal will happen. It appears it will all occur on Red Dog Ridge east of Heidi's Rock.

Squaw Valley will be cutting down and removing over 5,000 trees in the Red Dog area this fall. The trees targeted for removal will be dead and dying trees off Red Dog Ridge near Heidi’s Rock. Squaw is saying this will open up 100 acres of quality tree-skiing terrain. We know, we know, removing trees isn’t generally a cool thing in California, but these trees are dead and this tree removal will be great for opening up the skiing off Red Dog Ridge. After these trees are pulled out, there will be space to charge hard in the Red Dog zone. There is no question, Red Dog holds the best tree skiing […]
