new schoolers.....
thank you so much for your support. gettin licked like that could def bring you down if you arent careful, luckily ive got great friends and amazing distractions in my back yard. the blog has already started to raise some loot, so i just wanted to make sure i said thanks at least twice....cant wait to be shooting for real again.
decided to leave the foolish city behind and go snowcamping/splitboarding with my roomate, just get as far away from that noise as i could. definatly a nice treat to hike with 30-40 LESS lbs than usual. the "monkey" is literrally off my back for a while so its time to hike my ass off.
I built a new splitboard a few days ago and decided to head up _____ fork to test it out. the thing rips, and just hiking around in ski mode makes me miss/remember the days before i started snowboarding. thought i would share some photos from the trip with you guys. my roomate and i shot all of these on his canon rebel with a 15mm fish eye. pretty stoked on the image quality, def better than the 90 year old film camera ive been using as a "back up" since the gear got jacked.
got a late start up the trail and pitched our new mtn hardware tent in the dark. woke up early to the sounds of avalanches and avy bombs from the nearby resorts, looked at our options on the tour map, and then set off. the snow is super dangerous right now, and every pit we dug said the same thing. sketch as fuck, check the photo of the snow block just imploding on itself. took in some summit views and lapped a few tree runs, hit base camp, cooked a gormet meal and played with the canon rebel, and then back to reality, with a 30lbs pack, in the dark, thru a natty half pipe filled to the teeth with cold pow.
life is good.
bless
jose packing for 2 night trip
hiking into enemy territory late nite. any conditions were hot so we had to take quite a few detours to get to the zone
what are you doing in there buddy?
breaking in the new 0 degree sleeping bag!
looks nice in there, thanks marmot!
i have the ghettoest thermometer in skiing. cooking oil freezes @ 14 degrees. it was frozen @ the trailhead. soooooo @ 6 am the temps were probably colder than my x-girlfriend.
lotta good shit with easy access in utah. my new splitboard changed my life later this day.
the weaknees
not gonna be getting to bold today
but still worth it
i love my life, camping deep ina cutt while sketchy fucks and assholes lurk in the city, whole lights define the ridge behind me.
We rode a shit load of nice cold pow, but still, im not shaving again till it snows
