Sweet Lines on Elkhorn Mountain

Elkhorn Mountain is the 22nd highest peak in Oregon. We found some sweet Lines, and great snow up there.

Silver Creek Basin

A great day exploring my favorite basin with Matt Primomo, a Colorado Front Range Split Boarder, mountaineering guide and aspiring avalanche forecaster. We climbed to the western flanking ridge of Silver Creek basin and skied some awesome gullies and tree shots down into the bottom of silver creek. The best run was a 1,200 vert tree shot descending from alpine ridgetop, to mixed openly spaced Whitebark Pine and Subalpine Fir, down into dense Grand Fir and Engelman Spruce. The Silver creek ditch amazes me almost everytime I see it. Our predecessors went to alot of work to practically make water flow uphill from Silver creek in the Lostine Drainage, over into the Alder Slope Ditch. I look forward to exploring this basin more.

WAH guided trip in Mcully Basin

I got a unique opportunity to shadow Morgan "Jedi Master" Jenkins on a recent Wallowa Alpine Huts hosted and catered ski trip in Mcully Basin, in the eastern Eagle Cap Wilderness. It was a great opportunity to explore the Basin With some awesome guest and great guides.

WAH Staff Trip

Had a great time with some great people over in the Wallowa Alpine Huts "Norway Camp," for the 2010 staff training trip.

Wallowa Alpine Huts

So I haven't posted on here for a while, because I haven't had a camera, and a blog without pictures is lame. But hear are some pictures from Wallowa Alpine Hut's camp in Norway Basin, accessed from Halfway, Oregon. The boss CB and I went in there for a few days to do some pre-season prep work (and grab some turns of course).
