Random Items of Interest

This is a first. Normally I only post stuff that is directly related to some activity that I did or was a part of; however it has come to my attention that sometimes great internet finds need to be shared with the larger audience.

Therefore I present to you the new, but infrequent “Random Items of Interest”. I promise I will try to keep it on topic about outdoors and what-not; however if you know me you know I always bring in about four hundred unrelated topics to try to describe a situation. So we will see where this goes:

#1 Item today:Matt Holden in Backcountry Magazine:

#2: Collection of Recent Badass Ski Trip Reports by People I Don’t Know:

#3: Collection of Some Amazing Photography Found on the Web:

Well that is all for now. Please let me know if anything here was worth the look or if you find anything else and I can post it up.

With that I leave you some more visual and auditory pleasure(?) (follow link for full HD version)

Time for Some Snow

Winter has been treating Colorado well lately, you know 60 degree temps in Denver while it continues to snow in the high-country…can’t really complain.

Finally had a chance to get out there and ski Montezuma again (been 8 months!!!) and luckily for us the mountain gods were kind enough to give us perfect snow, amazing weather, and some damn-fine lines.

Date: January 17th, 2009

Location: Deer Creek Valley, Montezuma, Colorado

Crew: Trent, Evan, Matt, and myself

Trent dropping into the Steeps (2nd line of the day):

Evan on the first line of the day (approx time 9:30 am):

Myself (lookers left) and Matt (right) eyeing our respective virgin lines:

Trent dropping in via “Baby Notch”, him and Evan both had to crawl into the chute to hit this line:

Evan did essentially the same line and Trent took some video of it.

Tweak slaying a bad-ass line:

Myself getting some easy pow turns on the first run of the day:
