Photo of the Week: From the Vault – 66 Degrees North
It’s that time of year again when the snow is all but gone here in the northeast US/Canada, and memories of past spring skiing adventures in some far off places have us day dreaming. Here’s an image Emily captured at midnight on May 30th a few years back…on the far reaches of Iceland’s wild West [...]
The Mountains Claim a Friend: Joel Levenberg,
Photo: Heading into the Never Summer Wilderness Area, Colorado – May 2002 The mountains claimed the life of a wonderful soul this past Saturday, May 21, 2011.

Photo of the Week: Skiing Patagonia, Saving Patagonia
We’ve spent several months of our lives exploring a rare and unique corner of the earth known as Chile’s Rio Baker watershed – which is located in the heart of Chilean Patagonia. Sadly, this gem of a place is under attack by an Spanish/Italian energy giant that hopes to build five major dams on two [...]

Photo(s) of the Week: Thanks Mom!
Most of us who love to ski can probably attribute learning to ski, our interest in the mountains or even just our desire to go have some fun… to our mothers. For this alone, we should all be doing something extra special for our moms this weekend. Throw in the beautiful fresh snow currently falling [...]
Backcountry Update: Winter’s Last Hurrah?
As Mother’s Day approaches, it looks like Mother Nature is treating herself to one last glimpse of winter’s beauty in the mountains. It will likely be snowing in the high Adirondacks just a few hours after I write this, and by midnight, it should be snowing steadily up high in the Greens and Whites, too…With [...]
May in the Northeast Mountains
Life is good here in the Northeast when we are still skiing nearly top to bottom lines in May. And this past Sunday, whether you were climbing for turns in one of your favorite springtime playgrounds, riding lifts at Sugarbush, Killington or Jay – or simply skiing vicariously through others – skiers were kicking off [...]
