Dirty August Turns
The thick wildfire smoke cleared for one day so we could ski some dirty patches. Thank you baby jesus.

Started out being a beautiful day skiing with the boys. Then a small slide popped on me. Never let your guard down on mellow terrain. Slides dont have to be big and gnarly to put you on the couch.
Skiing perfect corn in the sun is really hard to beat. Perfect day to check out some new to me terrain.
Just slogging around some more new areas to try and find the goods.
After a 3 week hiatus due to shit weather and working 12 days straight we lucked out with perfect weather for a legendary slog up to Gunsight mountain and the Sperry Glacier in Glacier National Park. No grizzlies and great corn. Cool to ski on a glacier that may not last our lifetime. All said and done it was a 17 hour day covering roughly 23 miles and 10k feet of up.
This marks 36 months of continuous shredding. 19 inches of ratchet ass snow made for some juicier than normal Rocktober turns. Sun cup season is over.
Checking out old zones. Trying to remember how to ski before the next big storm hits. Feeling like half a bitcoin.
Staying high cause the rivers are all blown the fuck out, who cares fishing is for grandpas. summer ski season is shaping up quite nicely. the runnels are forming, cornices are breaking, and the sun cups should be knee deep soon enough.
Set out with low expectations as we were hiking thru 50 mph winds. This was the only zone that didn't get completely wind smashed. So fun sending with the crew.
ending powder days with a hike up tv mountain is a snowbowl tradition. With a proposed lift going in soon this stony zone may never be the same. #savetvmountain
No biblical storms around here in west central Montana, but cold temps, small crowds, and consistent snow has kept things legit.
This winter has been finicky. Finally got to catch a little air and do a little powders.
This past winter was full of shitty days. Here are a couple shots from the less shitty of the days. Skiing rules.
skiing mount butthole at Juul Basin with my family. we let the dog out.
one of those magical days. Big mountain on saturday was the best snow Ive skied in a minute. Dusty!
Backcountry has been fyre for us. Jah blessed with stable pow on all aspects. A couple more weeks of play before I gotta go back to worky. Keep the cold storms comin!
First realish day of skiing in a long time. Hopefully its a huge winter!! dad airs for life!
Skiing corn in november is fun, but confusing. Snow is in the forescast. Come on winter!!
Extreme gnar soft shell skiing is about being super dialed. That means getting to the trailhead by lunch, wearing silly hats, eating shit flavored elk infused bars, and letting everyone know that you are sooooooooo Dynafit.
Had a party for the baby jesus at The Downing Mountain Lodge. some wise men brought that loud. Then it snowed, so we made angry dad turns.
hiked up hillz and skied decent snow and some variable weird snow. Really fun to get some sun and good cardio for my fat ass.
The Going to the Fun road opened in GNP. We tooled around and did a lot of short fun laps. We even had a chance encounter with a newschoolers celebrity.
skiing, blue skies, busch light in camo cans, surly hunters, new friends, bonfires, wolf tracks, and chainsaws. Quintessential Montana.
The lifts have stopped turning at the bowl. Time to start exploring! Kicking it off with a Missoula classic in perfect bluebird pow, good ole Stuart peak. So happy my knee is holding up! lots of spring missions ahead.
Dad turn bonanza practicing for the powder 8 championships with TJ.
The snowpack has settled out and allowed for exploration beyond snowbowl's boundaries. Lots of fun revisiting old lines and looking for new ones wit da boice...
Last weekend at Bernies when the heat up started. Time for a big reset. come on winter!!
Got some loose beta about being able to drive to the trailhead of St. Marys in the bitterroots. Not so much. Tacked on a bunch of vert and mileage. Made the ...
Mini storm delivers a fun day for my friends and I. Still waiting for our first large storm.
