In mid-May 2024, we headed up to Mount Shasta for a full day climbing and skiing Avalanche Gulch. Shortly after setting out in the early morning hours, Aaron and Savannah had to cut their day short when Savannah had a stomach bug that acted up and they were forced to head back to the hotel. Lauren and I kept pushing, unsure what the conditions would be or whether we would make the summit, due t...

One weekend in late April 2024, Lauren and I left Kirkwood Saturday morning at about 2:30 AM, headed towards 395-South. We rolled into the parking lot at Twin Lakes at 5 AM, geared up, and started an arduous and adventurous climb up Crater Crest.

When I went up to Washington for my buddy Ryan's wedding in September 2023, I added a few days of hiking and camping in and around North Cascades National Park. Even though I'm clearly at home in the mountains, up until this point I had somehow spent very little time in this range nestled in the NW corner of the US. I ended up blown away by the dramatic landscape and jaw-dropping scenery around...

After massive snowfall in the Sierra during the winter of 22/23, Aaron and I finally set out on our objective of skiing (nearby) every month of the calendar year. This video highlights the fun outings during the tougher summer months (August, September, October), all in the Carson Pass area of CA-88 just south of Lake Tahoe.
