    Butt cheap snowboard!

    check this out- Dynastar LZ at backcountry.com for $130 I bought a 170 wide for use as a rock board and if it rides ok I might try splitting it this winter. Anyway, I can't give any feedback on the way it rides , cause its summer, but if you want a decent cheap board it's hard to find them at...

    Just Gloating

    I had roomate at college that did 80 days a year, I'm still not sure if he ever graduated! I didn't keep a good count this year but my guess is that I did between 25-30 days this year. I was still hiking the hills here around Santa Fe until late May and I'm sure I could have gotten more days in...

    Best ski safari week trip.

    A four cylinder 2.5 liter jeep wrangler named El Jefe! And as long as your not sporting texas plates the state troopers are usually pretty kind! lol, Actually I always calculate to pagosa and forget the extra half hour to the mountain. I have had more than one friend return from some secret spot...

    Just Gloating

    Well at least it's canadian dollars! I always find I spend way too much money when going to any foreign country because it takes my brain awhile to actually compute that I'm spending real dollars! P.S. - Good show on 41 days- not bad! When do you start over?

    Best ski safari week trip.

    Southern Colorado- Telluride, Purgatory (Durango), Silverton Mountain (Plan to ride it this year for the first time) and Wolf Creek! You could do three from Durango with less than an hour drive each day. And since telluride has turned into yuppy transplant hell, you could just skip it all...

    I was in montana for my first time summer before last. We went up 15 through Idaho and then over to bozeman and over to flathead lake and glacier. Since our trip I keep dropping hints to my wife that we should move to montana, beautiful place. I love the big wide open valleys! AHhh....

    Wolf Creek 3/26- Great snow.

    I was thinking of heading back up this or next week-end to try and hit some BC myself. My guess is it should be good well into may seeing how much pow we have had this winter. I am in Santa Fe now and the temps are climbing this week to 60's plus so Santa Fe may not be good for long, but some...

    Dateline-Sunday- Avalanche bait!!!

    Not sure if it's the same because I can't access the video through my firewall at work. But for FYI as to the other post, Colorado does charge for backcountry rescue, New Mexico does not charge. I don't know if there are any criminal charges in colorado, but if they have to come get you they...

    Full faced helmets? etc....

    Yeah, the only people I've ever seen wear them are racers. I don't think visibility would be a problem, here is a pic of a full face to see what I mean... http://www.backcountry.com/store/GIR0020/c7/s52/Giro-Mad-Max-S-Helmet.html I just wonder how often impact occurs to the face. I have also...

    Dateline-Sunday- Avalanche bait!!!

    Did anyone else see the extreme survival stories on dateline sunday? A guy from Utah was standing on-top of a cornice about to drop into a 50+ degree slope with fresh powder on it. His friend is set up on the next peak with a camera ready to roll. The skier is alone about to drop into the face...

    Full faced helmets? etc....

    OK, As ashamed as I am to admit it I just started wearing a helmet this year. I held out for a long time because I thought it would drive me nuts, now I can't imagine riding without my helmet. I spend most of my time in the trees and so I was considering looking into a full faced helmet. Any...
