    I definately agree with ferrisjrl. I'm going to be chuckling about this weekend for a while now. We couldn't ask for better weather and people. If this becomes an annual event its going to be interesting to see what we do to top it. Thanks for putting it all together Mats. CBCBD - Even...

    TR: Washington State wanderings Vol. 1

    Don't listen to Giggy keep on a postin' I figured you'd like it out there, so many mountains, so little time. You go find all the good little nooks and crannies and stashes to ski so we can get bad ideas in our heads and be forced to come out there and visit. :cool: Nif

    The Southeast Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier and Control Tower (8,670'), Alaska

    Really awesome Leaf. I just got a chance to get in and take a look at the pix. Looks like you had a great time. But as you found out anytime you're out on a glacier surrounded by the big mountains its a great time, socked in or no. Besides, its good to practice when its like that. I just...

    Team Dom attempts Denali May 21 - June 10th

    Glad they are all safe. That's the important part. I'd been watching the weather out there as best I could from here and knew it was going to be tricky getting a good window this week. It looks like wind was going to be picking up and some snow coming in. Just being there I'm sure was a great...

    Wow that's a big day!!! I don't have any better route on how to get back to appalachia from there, however last fall we did a loop up the great gulf that got the same peaks and you can drive over pinkham B. We took the old Adams slide trail to Adams, but similarly you could probaby use the...

    The "STEEPS!"

    Thanks Maddy, I've been waiting for this to come to video since I missed it when it came to BTV earlier this year. They had posters up advertising it around Sugarbush but by the time I saw them it was too late to catch it :D Nif

    Berner Oberland April 4-13 Part 1

    I normally try to take at least one ski mountaineering trip each. This year’s adventure was a guided tour of the Berner Oberland in Switzerland with All Mountain Adventures. A gorgeous location and a good choice given the Euro exchange rate this year, the Swiss Franc was much easier to...

    Tuckerman Ravine, Right Gully, Alpine Garden with perfect weather, 3-30-08

    Nice Report and Good Pix. We went to the GOS but not very far up, then took a trip up to Hermit Lake to look at the bowl. The weather as you say was gorgeous. Ironically I ran into MEB and Little Sister leaving the lot on their way over to Wildcat to hike. I must have read the avi report...
