Day Tour: Titus Lake Area

Yesterday, I went on an amazing day tour with my friend and rippin-tele-chick Simone Kastner. We were greeted with a blue bird day and warm sun as we started our hike out Titus Ridge from the top of Galena Summit. With no new snow in the last few weeks, the a hike out was on hard, wind scoured, snow. However, a few hundred vert below the ridges, we were surprised to find some really good skiing. After a two-ish hour hike out, we skied a fun alpine style line to start things off. Then we hiked back up to find one of the last remaining pillow lines in the area! Our second descent lead us into the flats, but a short double pole through the plains put us right back at Road. After getting shut down for 40min we were finally able to hitch a ride back to the top of Galena Summit. It was a great day, and I can’t wait to get out there again!

FWT Revelstoke Update: Legs Want A Divorce

Yesterday, another weather day was called for the Freeskiing World Tour. Seeing as I didn’t make the cut and that the conditions here are phenomenal, I skied my legs into the ground. With 5,620 vertical feet, my one non-stoper at Revelstoke, kicked my butt yesterday morning, but I felt strong and ended up skiing till it was getting dark(4:15pm). Hopefully my legs are ready to give-er again, because the weather is supposed to move out and leave us with a blue bird day!

Be sure to check out the live webcast on the Freeskiing World Tour Website at 10am PST

My mother took a few pics today with our little point-and-shoot, and with a little editing some of them turned out pretty good:

AK 2010 Is Over, Time For Real Life

The last two days in Alaska were amazing! We had beautiful blue bird days and the snow pack stabilized, giving us a green light to ski on some steeper and more exposed slopes. I ended up finishing my Alaskan adventure skiing an awesome knife-edge ridge that seemed to go forever which left me exhausted and adrenaline filled at the bottom! Now, after a not so nice red eye flight from Anchorage to Salt Lake, and a tired drive from Utah back to Idaho, I’m finally back in Sun Valley… time for real life again.

My trip was amazing and I have a bunch of people to thank for helping me, be sure to check out all of their websites!!!

Sun Valley Resort:
Thanks for giving me a place to ski and train all winter, couldn’t have done it with out a world-class home mountain!

Sun Valley Ski Patrol:
Thank you for the financial help, I wouldn’t have been able to have this amazing experience with out help from all of you guys and girls!
