Skiing with a snowboarder!


I am usually a loner on the mountains. Be it skiing or climbing (except for accompanying paying clients); BUT this was an instance of a pleasant departure from the norm. It was fun hanging out with this guy, a 62 year old boarder from the States. Awe inspiring to see a senior kick butt on the mountains.

Powder, crud, crust, slush. Fair weather. Bad weather. Ridge, trough, shoulder, gully; SKI anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

Skiing the main bowl of Afarwat affords access to some amazing powder lines. Heaven on Earth? --- Aminasto 😉

How To Winter!

So how should one winter? 
Yes!! Winter can be a verb too. Check out the video to find out how one may have a fun-filled, fast, adventurous, snowy winter!


Of course there are a million OTHER things one COULD DO. But those groovy turns amid alpine trees doting the pristine white mountains, the high tech skiing gear and the flashy apparel are bound to make the laziest couch hugger wanna go out and freeze their butt off in the mountains. (on skis of course 😉)

Mentok 2019 (with Sam & Stefano)



A fun climb with a couple of fine gentlemen. The father-son duo were always on the ball and unflinching in their approach. I enjoyed climbing "with someone" (anyone) after a LONG time. Hope this was the first of many climbs with these guys. Definitely among my favorite clients thus far.
