Rainier Morning

The mountain waking up and shaking off its clouds this morning. We went or a tempo run this AM to achieve the same effect. #seattle #rainier

Curious Utah Tracks

Wouldn’t mind getting back into the mountains today. Curious tracks between some fresh debris off of strawberry at Snow basin, from our late feb. shred trip.

Squaw Weekend

When Katy got accepted to the Keystone Conference, we took advantage of its location to get some spring turns in, and ski in Tahoe!

Though we had heard of its famous spring riding, we had yet to experience it first hand, and it made a pretty stellar first impression.

Staying true to being a weekend warrior, I only came out for Saturday and Sunday, and flew back Monday morning to make it to work on time. Turns out, those were the two best days of the week, as the warm temps melted the mountain right off the rest of the week while Katy was there.

The hill wasn’t too crowded, and the early half of the week prior to our arrival brought with it a storm that dumped some two feet of fresh snow for us to shred.

We explored Siberia, Granite Peak , as well as some quality turns on KT-22.

While I was back at work, Katy continued to shred all week in between conference seminars and workshops. The temps climbed to the eighties, but she took full advantage of the days on the hill.

Hoping to get back here some time mid-winter, on an epic powder day, to drop some of the legendary lines Squaw is known for.
In the meantime, for those interested, Powder has a pretty awesome piece of Squaw. A worthy read about how this place is changing.
