Oh, and stop skateboarding for the winter/spring (can’t afford risking an injury to mess with the snowboard & backcountry season). Call me a wimp but I got manage the risks both on the snow and off.

-Get some runs in at A-basin.
-Keep on CrossFitting it.
-Organize my backcountry gear.
-Monitor the snow conditions (starting by listening to those here on the forum and waiting for CAIC to start up their reports).
-Watching hockey is fun also.

Got to be something up in our mountains.

Wish I knew where. Got to check my book:

Hot as hell down in Denver this week but I can still see the snow up on the mountains from here.

Suggestions on some high enough stuff that is not too wet?

Looking for something safe for travel and riding.

Jones wasn’t too shabby. Up and down for one. Prob hit the Basin with my son this weekend and will be looking for some chill split for the following weekend. ColoRADo rules!

Kyle,

Think of it as part of your job to report back to us on your trips and adventures. With every job there are parts you like better than others. It might be a pain in your neck to report back on your trips but you got to do it as part of what you do.

I probably have one of the best jobs in the world doing what I do and get paid pretty good…[Read more]

Did Jones Pass today. June 1st and getting it….. Actually this counts as my first backcountry trip. Skinned up with a backcountry experienced buddy of mine from my local CrossFit gym. We did as the CAIC recommended for this time of year, “Ride early, exit early”. Fun time getting out there today!

A-basin got 4 inches yesterday (the week after Memorial Day) and has extended it’s season an extra weekend. Good news for the backcountry as well.

Here is the info on A-basin’s extended season:

“…… Colder temperatures and a winter that just won’t quit in the high country has enabled Arapahoe Basin (A-Basin) to extend its season. Originally,…[Read more]

Oh hell yes there is snow out there and the snow freeze/melt cycle seems to be perfect right now according to the CAIC snowpack discussions. What I was worried about Memorial Day weekend was wet slabs due to the fact it was not dropping below freezing at night for almost the entire prior week. We ended up erring on the side of safety and rode…[Read more]

So freaking cool scoring an epic session that you can brag about for the rest of your life. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Is it too warm for Front Range riding this Memorial Day?

The Loveland Pass five and the surviving sixth’s tragedy was not in vein. This event echoes of the passing of Mark Foo or Craig Kelly and those who where there for those loses. Not in that we lost in the Loveland Pass avalanche iconic riders but instead we lost pioneers who were doing everything possibly right but still were taken by overwhelming…[Read more]

Annon, thanks for the post and the willingness of your crew to share your video and ordeal. We all can learn from the correct actions and wrong ones. Personally I have been in a similar situations and it is hard to humble yourself so others can learn from your mistakes. But with that said, there are definately positives to take from your vid.…[Read more]

There is a bunch to watch and learn from the vid, including the bad points and the good points of the rescue. After all, they did make it out alive that day.

RogueRider,

Pre-halloween and you scored it! Nicely done.

burrows is da man keeping in shape while keeping it fun.

Russman, I also hate the gym worse than anyone else but my CrossFit gym got me back into shape. At age 47 (now 49) I lost 40 lbs doing CrossFit and a modified Paleo diet. My BMi and cholesterol as well as my BP were trending bad until CrossFit. I’m now basically where I need to be in every…[Read more]

Any northwest Montana dates?

I think so. Check the tour dates. http://www.tetongravity.com/films/jeremy-jones-further/tour/

Glad I was mistaken! The Further showings in Denver were a hit. Huge crowds at both showings.

I went to the 9pm viewing and it was packed. No hype, instead (to take from surf movie lingo) all in the theater were “stoked”.

The man himself was there, Jeremy Jones, for a quick talk before the movie. Cool dude to say the least.

Best snowboard…[Read more]

I’ll be at the early show in Boulder Friday. I expect it to be packed. Need to get to bed early so I can train, need my beauty rest.

barrows,

Train? How? Post up here for an update of how you are training right before season the starts.

I bet the Boulder showing will be a hit.

I’m going to go to the Further Denver premier Thursday Night 10/11/12 at the Oriental Theater, but it says the movie will show at 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM. What the heck is that about? I have never been a premier where they show the movie more than once.

And I thought that the Burton 13 premier in Denver the other week was about as lame as it gets,…[Read more]
