A-Basin Shred Sesh July 2nd, 2011!

The past few months have been great. A wonderful girlfriend, a plethora of friends, and some great small trips have led to a great 2 months of summer. I'm working a lot but found time to head towards Grand Junction to a really neat bluegill and small-mouth bass reservoir about a month ago and we landed some great panfish! I also rallied a few friends to meet at Arapahoe Basin for their closing weekend today and got to head over and spend some time with Rocky Mountain Underground founder Michael Waesche. The company is doing great things and if you've got a second, hit their facebook page and "like" it at https://www.facebook.com/rmuskis and then head over to their website http://rmuskis.com. I'm really excited for next season already and things are really coming together. Thanks everybody for a great summer and enjoy all that it brings you!
Vibe on!

November, December, January, and oh ya... February

Yes, It's been a while... and yes, a lot has happened.
Durango is having an interesting snow year with under 180" on the entire season, and not too much promise in the forecast. Warm weather has brought big melts and even rain to the area causing a bunch of weird layers in the snowpack in the backcountry and interesting conditions on Purgatory. The Grand Targhee telemark comp put on by Tough Guy Productions showed that the progression of telemark skiing is being raised at an absurd rate. People are going faster, skiing stronger, and skiing aggressively with control. It was a great thing to see and I managed to keep up with a 13th place finish, missing the finals cut by only one spot.... Lame! Anyway, this coming weekend is the Alpine Meadows competition so I'll be heading out to California to join a mass of freeheelers this week.
Along with all these updates, I am now working with San Juan Ski Company Snowcat Skiing as well as Telemark Nation (Nation Gear). These are both great companies run by very down-to-earth people. Below are some photos and videos to hopefully please the eyes and I will see you on the slopes!
Enjoy,
Luke
