Trip Report: Montana and Idaho – Cat Skiing in the Northern Rockies Trip Report from February 7-12, 2023 Whenever you book a cat skiing trip you hope and pray that the conditions will align perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Montana On Monday, February 6, we drove the 10 hours from home in Oregon to Whitefish, MT, and settled in. I wasn’t cat skiing until Wednesday, so the next morning […] Trip Report Brent Thomas | February 16, 2023 4 Comments
Wasatch Mountains, UT, Backcountry Report: Y-Not Report from February 1, 2023 Falling was forbidden. A 40′ cliff split the line in half; above and below was a 45º steep couloir with decent powder and constricting rock walls on either side. I’m talking about ‘Y-Not’: a Chuting Gallery line visible from Highway 210 that’s as fun to ski as it is aesthetic. It requires a rappel halfway […] Trip Report Martin Kuprianowicz | February 1, 2023 0 Comments

Hometown Mountain Shoutout: Kirkwood, CA – Admiration of the Sierra Crest I will never forget my first day at Kirkwood. There was a storm blowing in the night before continuing into the morning bringing feet of fresh snow. I pulled up to chain control in Hope Valley just 20 road miles south of Lake Tahoe. I stopped, rolled my window down, and asked how the road conditions were. The attendant stated […] Trip Report Brady James Kraabel | November 4, 2022 1 Comment
Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Zermatt Report: Firm, Fast, and Fun The weather today was much more favorable, sunshine and blue skies, although the temperature had dropped a little. After yesterday’s restricted openings, today we were able to take the cable car to the top—Matterhorn Glacier Paradise at 12,740-feet. There were three t-bars running up there, serving what was essentially one run split into three—left side, right side, and down the […] Trip Report Steven Agar | November 2, 2022 0 Comments
Zermatt, Switzerland Report: Great Conditions and Skiing For November 1st We woke to rain in Zermatt, Switzerland this morning. The clouds were low and we couldn’t see the mountains.

Zermatt offers 365-days of skiing a year (most years), but we decided to explore the town. […] Trip Report Steven Agar | November 1, 2022 1 Comment
