Alpine Weather: Closing With a Snow Day!

A very cold low pressure for this time of year is currently sitting off of the CA coast. It will begin to push inland Saturday night with snow beginning to fall on the mountain. The snow will fall through the day on Sunday before tapering off Sunday night. We are looking for 3-6 inches at the base and 6-9 inches at the summit by Sunday night. It should be a great final day with fresh snow on the slopes....

Laurent at the Survial of the Fittest.

Survival of the fittest went off this year once again. I really think it can be a good future for freeskiing, like the Skate Street league contest. You have to be consistent . Thanks you for the photos and have a great summer at Glacier 3000!

Pictures from Climbing

Yesterday I got the chance to get back into it.  Hopefully it won’t be years and year until I get to do it again.  It is a lot of fun.  Here are some pics of a 5.10a and a 5.11 that we got! I wonder if I can make some money by posting this on my site.

Killer Grouse and Killer Pow

My cousin Josh and I spent 3 days sled skiing in Revy in early April. En route to the bowl I was attacked by a killer grouse. While I was sledding up the trail I felt something on the hood of my jacket. I thought it was snow kicking up from my track when I looked back and saw wings flapping. I stopped and the grouse faced off with me and pecked away at my hand....

Blackberry Playbook: A Confusing Message

Blackberry has been running a few different ads, and each seems to have a slightly different marketing message. Is this for college kids? Don’t get me wrong. What does this do to the battery life? These are the pop in of users I would expect to be buying a Blackberry tablet. Users are shown watching music videos and playing games, not banging out emails or working on PowerPoint presentations. It’s going to be hard for enterprise users to take this thing seriously....

East Vail Chutes From Afar

Also, an opportunity to pick out new lines and re-assess avalanche prone terrain. Just check out that cornice above! Upon arrival in late March, it was more like 6ft into hard slough. Building sized walls of folded snow stared down on either side of the notch. As we have said throughout the season, this will be epic if it slides. Something to witness from a safe distance. Not a place we regularly venture for this very reason....
