Island in the Sky

Island in the Sky

Mar 2, 2021

The weather was forecasted to be pretty nice. I wasn’t going to be skiing for while. A mid-winter break to the desert just felt like the right thing to do.

Cover Shot!

Cover Shot!

Dec 19, 2013

Go Dirk. The Backcountry Skiing and Ski Mountaineering in Rocky Mountain National Park guidebook is on the shelves, and gracing the cover is a photo of mine– that of Dirk Bockelmann skiing the North Face of Longs Peak. (more…)

Wildfire Aftermath

Wildfire Aftermath

Jul 26, 2013

The massive West Fork Complex wildfire that burned out of control for several weeks this summer has been contained, but not before consuming 110,000 acres of forest. It was never a threat to us here in Aspen thankfully, but for those living in the burn area (Creede/Pagosa Springs/South Fork) it was an extremely serious situation. (more…)

Kebler Pass

Kebler Pass

Oct 7, 2011

It was twenty-five degrees with snow on the ground this morning. Hopefully it’s not too late to post some fall color pics from a recent trip to Kebler Pass. (more…)

A good year for photos

A good year for photos

Dec 7, 2010

The North Face of North Maroon Peak, 14,014 feet, from the new book, Fifty Classic Ski Descents in North America. If you ask Christy and me, 2010 was a pretty good year. The skiing was great, the races went well, the summer was memorable, we had quite a few fun adventures away from Aspen and of course Christy finished skiing the 14ers. As I was trying to organize things on...

The View from the Top

The View from the Top

Mar 12, 2009

If the set goal for the day was to ski good snow we would have been let down. Instead, Christy, Tim and I went to Hayden on Sunday and filed it under the category of “getting out for some adventure” rather than “epic backcountry day”– and that small label change made it appealing.  After all, when I was up here last Tuesday the snow left much to be desired and...

Rock & Ice – The Photo Issue (and Related Controversy)

Rock & Ice – The Photo Issue (and Related Controversy)

Feb 20, 2009

I think the photo annual is my favorite issue of a magazine. So it was pretty cool when Christy thumbed through the latest Rock & Ice – The Photo Issue, and stumbled across a familiar image in the ‘Everyman’s Exposed’ section. After a quick doubletake, she tossed the magazine over to me and there was the shot, of Camp 2.7 and the mushroom ridge on Ama Dablam. I had totally forgotten submitting the...

Making the best of challenging snow conditions las Making the best of challenging snow conditions last weekend in the San Juans. It’s always better to be skiing than not, right? ⛷
It’s disappointing to have the spring season trashed by airborne dust and dirt though. 👎 Experts say the continuing drought in the American West is all but ensuring this spring phenomenon will happen with increasing frequency— and even earlier in the season— in the years ahead. 👎 Let’s hope those forecasts are wrong. The spring backcountry season is already short enough. 📷 @aspenchristy
