RSS FeedTook a few (badly timed) days off last week, to get away before my biz partner leaves town for a month for his wedding and assorted festivities. Ended up going to the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness area as it seemed like a trip that could combine a few of my likes – snow, mountain views, and [...]

Thoughts:shifted
May 7th, 2010 
Justin It’s sunny. Finally. Bummer that we finally received January’s longed for 40s and raining this past week, but my mind has shifted to surfing. I need a warm water surf trip ASAP to shake the winter rust. Memories…
One pic TR: an oldie but a goody
March 22nd, 2010 Justin Love this pic and a crop from the same Do not adjust your screen, that IS a whippet in his right hand.
TR: Playing snowboards with Kyle Miller
November 29th, 2009 Justin Preface: Up til Friday I’d never met Kyle Miller in person. Originally heard about him by by way of his occasional trip report on splitboard.com and TAY. Noticed he spent a LOT of time in the Crystal Mountain area, which is near and dear to me (well, near is relative right?), and after seeing his [...]

4 Comments »Bluebird and fresh
November 16th, 2009 Justin Yes plz. Are there any Novembers you can recall where there have been more bluebird days with fresh? As much as I love a good PNW flat light day, hugging the trees so you can get a feel for slope contours, I’ll take fresh and sun 9 times outta 10. Reports from Baker to Crystal [...]
Friday the 13th aka Mt Hood Mead-OH NOES!
November 13th, 2009 Justin First off some math. PLUS EQUALS Serious bonehead move. Grabbed the bindings from my splitboard and a Burton board out of storage. Yup, 4×4 equals 16, not 3D. Usually this wouldn’t be a problem as I’d have spares in the trunk, but the junk in my trunk is still in full-blown summer mode and filled [...]
Farewell summer
September 22nd, 2009 Justin I hardly knew thee… …but don’t get it twisted. When I was living in the CA I wasn’t lamenting over the inability to surf at 9:30 midsummer. Sure, that’s great and all, but what I really missed were beautiful blue skys on a warm day with crisp evening air, AM fog on the rivers, ground [...]
Photo recap of the past few weekends
September 8th, 2009 Justin Been awhile since I’ve added any personal trip reports/pics, throwing up a few quick and dirty (had to screenshot them from Facebook as I don’t have the originals on this computer) pictures from the past few weeks. Now that I’ve had a few more days on them will finally get around to posting a review [...]
TR: Mt. St. Helens at midnight
July 29th, 2009 Justin After a 100 degree day, a half dozen and change Rainier and a pitcher or two of Bridgeport IPA the suggestion was floated to start our hike at midnight or so instead of 4 AM so that we’d miss most of the following day’s heat. Genius suggestion, undoubtedly, though I didn’t account for my buzz [...]
LOLWTFriday….this is odd
May 15th, 2009 Justin Was looking at some search terms that were used to find my blog this morning and came across some..uhh….odd findings. Maybe ‘backcountry’ is being misinterpreted by the Googles? Also, dick under balls? That’s some real ‘beans above the frank’ type shit. It’s SEM, not S&M. Creepy. I apologize to those looking for pictures of kawk. [...]
