Peak Adventures Cat Skiing with Yurt overnight in Cataldo, Idaho : I was able to get out for the weekend with a great group of people in the St Joes Mountains in North Idaho. Backcountry snowboarding and skiing with the great guides and crew from Peak Adventures, based in Cataldo Idaho. What an amazing weekend we all had courtesy of Steve and Terri, Scott, Cort and others whose hard work opened up close to 3000 acres of pristine terrain for us to play on. Thanks to all of the participants that tolerated me being there with them, and being such able and willing ski/snowboard models!

Pear Lake Hut (Apr 15, 2006) - journal : Pear Lake hut in Sequia NP.  First visit for both (Nick and I) of us.  Totally blown away... unlike the Ostrander I definitely will return to this one.  

Had a blast skiing with the hut master, Evan... and laughing at Nick stying to ski sunburnt with a hangover.

Check out some panos from the trip...

Tallac w/Nick (Jan 13, 2007) : Bare bones.  Learned how to ski ON manzanitas.  Good views though, and considering our options, it was very worthwhile.  The snow was breakable crust on sugar snow...probably the hardest conditions to skin on.
