One year we decided to trade the climbing trip for a mountain biking trip. In August 2008 we headed west with hopes of tall dusty lips, hangtime, banked turns, Colorado beer, bears and good mountain camping.  We found a bit of each.

Antoine, his cousin Brett, Cole, Erica and I headed to Summit County, Colorado in January 2006.  At the time, this annual pilgrimage in search of ridable snow was a sure bet for trouble of the best kind.

Antoine, Grant and I headed west looking for snow in January 2005.  With more than 6 feet of snow in the 9 days we were at Crested Butte, you might say we got more than we bargained for.  These images were all scanned from film negatives.

A brother-sister roadtrip in the West with aspirations of wide desert vistas in the southwest and the summit of Humboldt Peak in Colorado.  A record snowpack in the Sangre de Cristos sent us north to the Front Range where we found plenty of mountain fun.


testing, testing…

Bronti and Stega in the Pyramid Peak Ampitheater, Maroon Bells Wilderness, Colorado 2009.8

*ahem*  Just trying the place out.  This is the first post of what I hope will be a frequently updated and visited photo-stream.  At first the content of all the posts here will be rather eclectic, most likely untimely and probably just plain old pictures as I try to recap on some bygone eras to get this thing started.  Nothing will be in order or even necessarily grouped properly, but it will all be searchable and indexable through the Categories menu on the side.

Ok, bye.
