Trip Report: Montezuma Basin, CO – August Turns at 14,000 Feet Report from August 10th 2020 August skiing is among the worst skiing of the year. The snow has all melted save for perennial snowfields, but it’s too early to get fresh snowfall in late October and November. Today was certainly no exception, but it felt amazing to check off my 15th consecutive month of skiing, regardless. We got a late […] Trip Report Clay Malott | August 11, 2020 5 Comments
Trip Report: La Parva, Chile – Visiting the Neighbor Despite all the years of skiing a few feet away, I had not been given the opportunity to meet my neighbor, La Parva. Chile is in quarantine, even so, certain communes of the Capital are allowed mobility and the practice of sports with their corresponding measures. Among these communes is Lo Barnechea, which the mountain town Farellones belongs to. The […] Trip Report Sebastian Opazo | August 10, 2020 0 Comments
Trip Report: The Stunning Central California Coast I voyaged down the Central California coast this week. The trip was sublime. Medium-sized mushy waves. The best car-camping campsites of my life. Exquisite sunsets. Vicious full-moonrises. 20 dolphins jumping & frolicking 100′ off the beach for 30-minutes whilst I ate breakfast. Cool, wet waterfalls. Hummingbirds. International Space Station zipping by. Bunnies everywhere. Bats like crazy at sunset. Fast-flowing fog. […] Trip Report Miles Clark | August 10, 2020 2 Comments
Trip Report: Mokelumne Wilderness – California Wildflowers and July Skiing On July 31, 2020, I made the questionable decision to wake up at dawn and head south of Lake Tahoe to an area I know holds snow late into the summer. This area is used by many of the Turns All Year (TAY) tribe of skiers and riders who try to link-up turns during each of the 12 months of […] Trip Report Galen Carrico | August 6, 2020 4 Comments

Trip Report 70s Style: Drinking, Smoking, and Skiing Like Fiends – Nothing’s Changed in 5 Decades! I was riding with those outlaw Vasques Brothers Sam and Noah, and I knew the drill: drink and smoke ‘till we hit the lot, slip-slide and cuss putting our boots on, ski like fiends, then hung-over by 2 PM… with a long drive home. We were headin’ out of Modesto, CA (our home town) up to Bear Valley ski resort […] Trip Report Mota Bota | July 27, 2020 9 Comments
Trip Report: The Waves & Mountains of Big Sur, California Report from July 2020 We went down to Big Sur, California last week with dreams of big waves, epic camping, and new experiences. The drive down legendary Highway 1 was gorgeous. Far enough south, there is no flat land. 2,000-foot mountain faces dump directly into calm seas below. Fog fluttered up and down the towering mountain masses. Sunshine turned the […] Trip Report Miles Clark | July 27, 2020 1 Comment
