Squawliwood legend Shane McConkey died today in a BASE Jumping accident in Italy. Reminds me of what happened after my Sky Dive last year to SkyDive Tahoe’s Wes Harberts. I met Shane briefly once when I took the photo above. Seemed like a very cool yet intense dude. It sucks knowing that the guy... »
The Scotts invented sheep games and later the northern midwesterners perfected it. I’ll let Sphincterboy elaborate… These guys have found a few fun things to do with their sheep and border collies. There’s debate about what makes Scotch so great. The peat or the, you know, other thing in Scotch. I think these guys,... »

The drop off Credit Card Bowl was pretty RAD yesterday when JR, Pyrofloptic, Taldor and I hit it yesterday. I’d say make it a mid morning patrol until more snow hits. It’s a tad crusty here and there. It was perfect by the time we had to go to work… Feral Snow: Dawn Patrol... »

Still, is it comforting or irritating to know that Whitney, Denali and... »
First of all, thanks a TON to the Coy’s of Cave Creek, AZ. Their cheerful hospitality, welcoming stinky and cranky riders into their home post race and dropping a pizza bomb on the team really makes the trip. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atUGMiDxeC0 Second of all, DAMN that was a fun trip! LowCO2 and I had a great... »
As crazy as it sounds, Mt. Rose Wilderness had some GREAT snow yesterday! The Kangdiggity and i hiked the Hourglass, The Hairplug and out. It was rad! Unfortunately, the snow from yesterday is burried under another 4 to 6 inches or new powder with more on the way. Anyone with half a brain is... »
