TR: Mt. Jefferson Wilderness area

Justin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:43:09 +0000

Took 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

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…

Just another shitty sunset

You got ass for days I got lefts for weeks

TR: Playing snowboards with Kyle Miller

Justin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:18:05 +0000

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 [...]

Bluebird and fresh

Justin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:45:59 +0000

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 [...]

Sonofa....

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 [...]

Farewell summer

I hardly knew thee…

St. Helens sunrise

Portland twilight crit

Breakfast at Snow Lake

New ride

Combat fishing

Indoor cyclocross

This fish was obviously easily fooled

…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 [...]

Photo recap of the past few weekends

Justin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:51:53 +0000

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.

Scouting lines in the fog

AM fog, looked like AK

Waterproof camera testing. It works.

TR: Mt. St. Helens at midnight

Justin — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:41:05 +0000

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

Justin — Fri, 15 May 2009 17:44:43 +0000

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 [...]
