Six Days of Cain

Posted March 11, 2012

(Note:  This is from earlier in the year and I was going to submit it to some magazines. To be honest, I don't have the time or energy, and I think I would rather share it with you all for free than make it so you would have to pay to read it.  Enjoy!)

Craig, Jerrett, Wanda and Pete at the Col ab…

1, 1 mountain...2, 2 mountains! Ah ha ha ha ha!!!

Posted March 5, 2012

Yes, the title of this post should be read in the voice of the Count from Sesame Street.  Yes, I have indeed skied two mountains in the last three days.  Yes, I am tired, yet stoked!

No, I did not get caught in, see, be around or hear of any avalanche incidents over the weekend.  Sorry. I'm workin…

Near Death Experiences

Posted February 20, 2012

It started out like any good powder day.  Fresh snow, good friends, strong legs. While the avalanche bulletin rated the risk as "considerable", things felt stable and the powder beckoned.  There were about 10 or so people in the circle I was skiing with that morning...everyone was talking about head…

SNOW!

Posted November 3, 2011

Like the title says - 7 inches in the parking lot at Mt. Cain when I got there today for a site meeting at 10 am!

The view on the drive up.


First tracks in the parking lot!

MOUNTAINS!

mmmmmmmmm...

pretty...

This is Roberts Lake - I've never actually stopped here before but I had to pee really …

What I did on my summer vacation...

Posted August 8, 2011

Here's two images from my weekend...bloggy style musings will follow...

 

One of the pro's getting air off the "Boner" at the Bearclaw Invitational Slope Style contest on Saturday.

Looking back up at the run I just skied in the West Bowl at Mt Cain on Sunday.  I got as high as the small rock outc…

rain at Cain

Posted August 2, 2011

Not to be confused with pain at Cain, an altogether less pleasant Cain experience.  I took my son up to Cain where we stayed in a borrowed cabin and generally checked things out.  There is still a lot of snow.  And bears - lots of bears...

enough to ski on still...not bad for July 30th!

Out fir…

Closing time...

Posted April 3, 2011

That's it.  That's all.  Its over.

Well, at least skiing at Mt Cain is.  For the season.  Well, skiing with tee-bar assist.  This post started strong but seems to be losing speed.  Probably because I am so freaking tired...

Looking back at the West Bowl after my first of four laps Saturday mo…

Dream Chute

Posted March 28, 2011

The title says it all.  A line I have been sizing up ever since I read up on Mt Cain last year. Its the sort of line where if you watch someone ski it standing at the top, they go over, disappear from site and then only reappear at the bottom...

Dream Chute as seen from the top of the tee bar at M…

It was a dark and stormy night...

Posted March 22, 2011

Really - it was.  At least until we drove past Sayward.  Then, all of a sudden, the rain stopped and the road was dry and we made pretty good time up to Mount Cain.  No getting stuck this week as I had my new chains (which are awesome).

Saturday dawned  cloudy and snowy, but we were still able to…

Broken chains, para-sailers, epic hair and powder

Posted March 7, 2011

and no puking.  But I do have a nasty cold.  Here's how Mt Cain looked on Saturday...

Before that picture was shot, I had some minor difficulties on the drive up Friday night.  For some unknown reason I thought it would be a good idea to pass the grader who was plowing the road.  It might even ha…

Pole Whacking

Posted January 23, 2011

Alright.  If you've been paying attention and done your homework, you will know exactly what the title of this post is referring to.  If not, go back and read my A.S.D. post and do the assigned homework, then come back.

OK. 

Done?

Good.

Now, this weekend Tree and I went back to Mt. Cain.  There …

STOKED!

Posted January 9, 2011

Wow - I'm still stoked.  I only skied three runs today, but I have to say I have probably  never been more satisfied after a day of skiing.  Run #1 - groomer from the top of Mount Cain to the bottom.  Run #2 - we headed into the East Bowl and watched a group ski the Dream Chute, then headed down …

OK - last one.  I have to put a little promo vid together for Mount Cain's site, but that's it.

Up next, I will do a quick review of the G3 Onyx Alpine Touring binding...probably next week...

I'm off to Forbidden Plateau tomorrow morning, Mt Washington with my Son Thursday and Cain all weeken…

Been a while

Happy New Year!

First off, to my dedicated nine readers, my apologies for not warning you of my impending absence.  I had a trip to Mount Cain booked and after a rockin party Christmas Eve, I was in no shape to post anything coherent Christmas Day.

Tree and I headed up Boxing Day and were greeted b…
