Tuckerman Ravine - March 26, 2016

Finally - a post!  Long, long time.  Was able to get out and up on George for the first time this ski season.  Mostly that has been by choice with the little one having arrived in November.  But it was also in big part because there really hasn't been any snow all winter.

Fortunately, Scott, Brian and I were able to get up for a late March Saturday that felt like a late May Saturday in terms of snow pack.  But corn is corn, regardless of the time of year.  Also lucky to meet Chad and Josh up in the bowl.  A few pics tell the story.

Pre-Season Stoke - Mt. Washington 2015 Spring Edit

Took about six months to cobble this footage together from 3 trips to Mt. Washington this spring with Scott after I recovered from the hematoma issue.  And ... something went wrong in the rendering process, so the resolution is pretty terrible unless you watch it on your phone.  Seems to be fine if you stream it on your phone in a place with a good internet connection though, so strongly recommend watching it that way because it is probably the best movie so far. 

Great mtn. biking so far this fall- but looking forward to the first snow of the year!

Presidential Traverse - September 5, 2015

Scott and completed the Presidential Traverse (Appalachia to Crawford Notch) on Saturday, September 5, 2015.  Some kind of hike.  Approx 23 miles over 14 hours w 9,000 feet of elevation gaine.  Enjoy the pics.

Nice night sleeping in the bed of Scott's truck.  Way more trucks driving along Rte 2 then expected.  Made 3:45 a.m. alarm a little less pleasant.

Great Gulf - May 17, 2015

Swan song for the season.  Great day in Great Gulf.  Three runs up and down Airplane.  Pipeline was out unfortunately.  Scott took a few runs on the snow fields at the end, but I was gassed and just took in the views.

A few pics to enjoy:

 

Oakes Gulf - May 2, 2015

Great day up in Oakes Gulf with Scott.  Skinned up the ART to the summit of Mt. Monroe.  Technically, I skinned almost the whole way, but even with ski crampons, it was really steep.  Basically it felt like I was doing dips up the mountain.  Skied the Monroe snow field, then over to double barrel.  Skinned up Central, ate lunch and met up with Josh and Chad for a bit.  Then Scott and I head over to ski one of the three stooges before meeting back up with Josh and Chad and descending Monroe Brook - all the way to the car!  Took a bit of video but no video editing software at the moment so just pictures for now.  Enjoy!
