Mt. Ritter Solo Ski Tour.  My alter ego and I celebrate my 38th Birthday by ripping turns off the summit of Mt. Ritter.

Mount Conness Alpine Triathlon.  A Bike/Ski/Climb adventure on Yosemite's best peak. 

Bear Lakes Basin / Seven Gables.  A solo ski tour deep into the high sierra to ski a few awesome peaks. 

Powder Days at Tioga Pass Resort.  Good friends, deep snow, plentiful grub and a roof over our heads.  Dude, this trip simply ruled! 

Two Days, Two Classics.  Fantastic late October weather and no crowds means good times on Cathedral Peak and Bear Creek Spire. 

Scrambling Along the Eagle Lake Buttress.  True Yosemite-like granite adorns this Tahoe gem above Emerald Bay.   

Mt. Shasta:  Summer Skiing on the Hotlum-Wintun Ridge.  Two perfect days skiing July corn on arguably the best ski route in America.

Mount Conness Psycho "Bike-Ski-Climb-Ski-Hike-Bike" Solo Tour.  A harebrained scheme to play hooky on a Tuesday, drive up to Yosemite, bike into the wilderness, skin up to a remote summit, downclimb a classic Sierra ridge, rip a steep couloir, skin/hike back to cached bicycle, ride to car, and drive five hours back home fueled by Red Bull.

And it worked!
