2009.11.07 REUP: Has snow come to the Coast Mountains and Cascades for the year? I hope so. Either way, I've nearly finished a first pass at long-term, behind-the-scenes work on older trip reports. 2008 and 2009 will get their due soon. Happy turns!
2009.07.11 UPDATE: Motivation for the SkiSickness cause has finally returned and new trip reports from 2008 and 2009 should begin to appear.
This is a list of skiing and climbing trips. I would like to spend more time skiing and climbing. At times I've felt like I could spend more time in the mountains by spending less time playing with my website. I'm not sure that's actually true, though. When I'm stuck in the city for one reason or another, these stories and photos help me remember and relive some very good times, more vividly than would be possible if I hadn't taken the trouble to document them. I've also heard from strangers who became very good friends, whom I might never have had the luck to encounter in "real life." Thanks to all the wonderful people who shared these experiences with me!
