Tucker and I skied Big Sky on Saturday and made all of one run during the three and a half hours we were there. We took lifts to the top of Lone Peak and then skied down the Otter Traverse to the top of the Dictator Chutes. We put tracks down one of these chutes [...]

OP Photography Contest Results
February 20th, 2010 No Comments
About a month ago I blogged about the Outdoor Pursuits Photography Contest. Well, the results came in and I won 1st Place in the Action/Adventure Category with my picture of Sam skiing some really deep powder back in mid-October. Along with a fancy ribbon I won a $20 Northern Lights gift card and a pair [...]

Some Photos from Last Week’s Ridge Hike
February 12th, 2010 No Comments
Last week I managed to secure a beacon for a couple of days of skiing off of Bridger’s vaunted Ridge.
Tuesday, Clare, Taylor, and I hiked up from the top of the Slushman’s lift to ski some day old powder down to The Fingers. The view from the top of the Ridge was stunning. The Bridger [...]

2nd Round of Prints – F Stop and Depth of Field
February 8th, 2010 No Comments
Our second week assignment for photography class was to toy around with F-stop and depth of field, two aspects of photography that I’ve always been interested in. I brought my camera to PetCo and shot some birds.

First Black & White Print
February 1st, 2010 No Comments
Today, I printed my first black and white print while part of the MSU Photography program. I’ve been processing and printing black and white film for the better part of three years now, but MSU’s equipment, protocol, and processes are slightly different (and apparently slightly less reliable). All of which resulted in a pretty “interesting” [...]

Slushmans
January 19th, 2010 No Comments
Tucker and I rented beacons, probes, and shovels today and headed up to Bridger for our first Slushman’s run of the season. Slushman’s is the new chair (formerly the Peruvian Lift at Alta) that Bridger installed last season to the south of Pierre’s Knob. It accesses some great, un-demarcated, patrolled terrain. Beacons are required to [...]

A Month Off
January 13th, 2010 No Comments
For some reason, I haven’t posted on this site in over a month. I spent the month of December skiing, of which I have some pictures to post. December delivered one powder day at Bridger Bowl, and some excellent packed powder days which were frigidly cold. Needless to say, I now have more frostbite on [...]

Hiking Around Sacagawea
November 22nd, 2009 2 Comments
Veteran’s Day my father and I had another assault on Sacagawea planned. The first trip up got stuck on the road up to the mountain. Literally. This second trip, we parked the car before we got stuck, and hiked up to the Fairy Lake trailhead. We decided, given the snow depth, that we didn’t have [...]

Second Round of Pictures from The M
November 3rd, 2009 2 Comments
These two are the second round of pictures from last night at the M. Not the best shots, but they still came out kind of cool.
The camera got picked up and moved in the middle of the exposure. I like the “cloud city” effect, but it’s too bad it’s so blurry.
This picture just wasn’t as [...]
