Roger Romani

Squaw skier by birth, writer by accident, and mountaineer by reason of insanity. If it's got snow on it, you can probably get me excited about either going up it or down it. You can find pictures of me climbing flat snowfields, jumping off of small rocks and doing other boring things on insta @rkromani.

Jackson Hole Conditions Report January 5th, 2018: A Change is Gonna Come…

Cloudy today, with the sun poking out at times. Sticking to the trees or taking advantage of patches of sun was smart, as the light could be fairly flat otherwise. Views were still on point (see above). On the first couple of runs of the day, there was ~1″ of loose snow on top of everything. It must have been windblown? […]

Jackson Hole Conditions Report January 4th, 2018: Bluebird

Another day, another beautiful day of bluebird at Jackson Hole. A little warmer today, up to ~30F on the upper mountain, teens to 20s on lower mountain. The mountain was fairly empty, especially for a holiday period. We were usually within ~10 skiers of walking on the tram, and rarely waited for more than 3 mins in any lift line. We lapped the […]

Jackson Hole Conditions Report, January 3rd, 2018: It’s good!

My first day (ever!) in Jackson was one for the books. The mountain is huge, steep, and above all else fun. I’m very, very glad I made the 12 hour drive from Tahoe. We started out the day by looking into Corbetts (which was closed), and then hitting the Alta chutes on the way to Sublette. Snow was a cold […]

Trip Report: 6000 ft of Bliss on Mt. Shasta, August 13th, 2017

  Everyone has to have a reason to get out of bed. For some people, it’s the paycheck they’re about to earn, or the kids they’re about to get ready for school, or the classes they’re about to take. I was ready when the light switched on at 1:30 am on Sunday, August 13th, 2017. I was going to go skiing. […]

Silverton Unguided Season Pass: The Ultimate Ski Bum’s Multimountain Pass?

faceshots and steeps at Silverton

Silverton is pretty different from your average ski hill, so it’s fitting that the “Unguided Season Pass” they just introduced is pretty different from your average pass. The pass goes for a bum-friendly $149, and includes unlimited “unguided” skiing after their guided season finishes, half off heli bumps, discounted guided days at Silverton, and free days at a number of […]

Trip Report: Skiing the North Peak Couloirs Near Yosemite, CA on July 22nd, 2017

It all started out sounding so chill. Drive up to Tioga pass, see what lines look good, and eke out one more weekend of skiing. Tyler Karow, my partner for the trip, mentioned a couple of routes (including the North Peak couloirs), which I aimlessly googled for beta and checked out on a topo. Our plan was mostly just to […]
