Alyeska Resort, AK Report: Tough Tree-Skiing, Hard-Charging Bowls, & 3-Minute Tram Rides

Brought to you by 10 Barrel Brewing Co. Report from February 4, 2021 Today was foggy and fun.  Tough visibility up top made for creative line choices at the mid-to-lower portions of the resort today.  I went exploring in some trippy-looking trees off a run called Bear Trap.  The snow here was firm, fast, and quite ferocious honestly—you didn’t want to […]

Powder Mountain, UT Report: Hunting for Fun Pockets of Good, Shaded Snow

Brought to you by 10 Barrel Brewing Report from Thursday, January 14, 2021 There’s always good turns hiding somewhere at Pow Mow.  I got up there at mid-day and went hunting.  Conditions in the Wasatch recently have been dry and the snow in a lot of spots has been anything but soft—but I wasn’t disappointed with the turns I found here […]

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

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
