Fast Women in Aspen

Viktoria Rebensburg took the win here for Germany. Interesting to me was the fact that she was on Nordica skis, a brand rarely seen, on the World Cup podium. Click any photo to enlarge.

The fastest women skiers in the world descended on Aspen this past weekend for the 2011 Women’s World Cup [...]

Kebler Pass

It was twenty-five degrees with snow on the ground this morning. Hopefully it’s not too late to post some fall color pics from a recent trip to Kebler Pass.

The Queen Stage sequence

And here they come with less than 1km to go. The leaders-- Tee Jay Van Garderen, Tom Danielson, Javier Acevedo, George Hincapie and Eduard Beltran, pictured here from right to left, finished in front.

In what was one of the coolest new events to come to Aspen, the second stage of the inaugural [...]

January

Joey, throwing horseshoes.

We’re halfway through the season, and despite the fact that every major storm thus far has skirted us to the north or south, the first half of winter, and January in particular, proved to be pretty good for backcountry skiing.

With any luck, the second half of winter will be [...]

A good year for photos

The North Face of North Maroon Peak, 14,014 feet, from the new book, Fifty Classic Ski Descents in North America.

If you ask Christy and me, 2010 was a pretty good year. The skiing was great, the races went well, the summer was memorable, we had quite a few fun adventures away from [...]

Fifty Classic Ski Descents in North America

ted — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:16:44 +0000

Soon-to-be hot off the press, and just in time for the holidays.

Earlier today I was given the opportunity to pore over a proof of the much anticipated new book, Fifty Classic Ski Descents in North America, and it looks awesome. The 200+ page, large format book, a collaboration by Chris Davenport, Art [...]

Hardrock – thoughts & photos

Island Lake and Ice Lakes Basin - just another one of the awesome views out there on the course. Click any photo to enlarge.

The 2010 Hardrock 100 is done and now, a week later, I’m still trying to put it all together.

In the days that followed, as I embraced my “recovery”, [...]

Peaking?

ted — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 22:00:23 +0000

The snow is just about gone from Bell Mountain, which as unscientific as it may sound, pretty accurately predicts when the creeks and rivers around Aspen are nearing peak flow. This morning it was verified.

The Monday morning run up Hunter Creek was more challenging than usual. At 7am it's pretty cold and [...]

The Black Hole

So far, so good. Joey and Sean descend into the White Canyon near Hite crossing, Utah, upstream of the swimming slots known as "The Black Hole."

The Black Hole. It sounds scary, right? Well, if claustrophobia, freezing cold water and flash floods get you nervous then this slot canyon run probably isn’t best [...]

Shots From the Dam

The scene at the dam

The Leadville 100 mountain bike race was on Saturday.

Always preceding the 100 mile run by a week, and with Christy and I registered for that race, I thought the best thing I can do in the time remaining is rest. So I headed over to Twin Lakes [...]
