A dress to remember – Pic of the Day

Jungle Hike – Pic of the Day

Black Canyon XC Ski – pic of the day

Lisa and I went for a ski in the Black Canyon National Monument to check out an ice climb called Gandalf’s Beard.   Seeing as we were in the Black Canyon with 2,000 ft. rock walls everywhere, I dreamed of a giganitc ice flow cascading down the steep cliffs.   Instead we found a short […]

Goodbye Amigo… Guy Lacelle

Guy Lacelle died yesterday in an avalanche while climbing during the opening day of the Bozeman Ice Festival. This is the third friend I’ve lost this year to avalanches alone. This comes as such a loss for all of us and a sad way to begin the Bozeman Ice Festival. Guy was just such a […]
