What influence will global warming have on summer skiing in North America? I’d think marginal snow patches will become much smaller and the snow line will be slightly higher on peaks such as Shasta.

The facts are you can drive an OHV just about anywhere that’s not too steep, they’re small and easy to hide (many come in camo colors), and they’re easy to maneuver around closure gates.

In Canada, a guided party with two dead and several injured. I can’t say I’m immune to exposing more than one person at a time to avalanche hazard.

News from Colorado backcountry skiing, including 24 Hours of Sunlight, and Ed LaChapelle passes.

When you think about it, how could anyone who expresses honest opinion ever think exactly like everyone else? We would cease to be human if that was the case.

24 Hours of Sunlight is happening this weekend. In case you live under a rock, this is the ski race where you spend 24 hours climbing up and descending, and see who can do the most vertical in that time. It’s brutal and fun — at least fun for the first half hour.
