Mt. Sneffels: Snake Couloir Ski – POV

Posted on by Jon Jay in 14ers, Colorado, Mountaineering, Skiing

At the top of the South Col, my still-camera completely died, so I switched over to my GoPro for footage. As luck would have it, most of the rappel and first part of the ski footage was corrupted, so I have had a hell of a time trying to get it to work, and in … Continue reading Mt.

Posted on by Jon Jay in 14ers, Colorado, Mountaineering

Last Monday, I had a chat session with my buddy Chris about what to do on Saturday. My initial thought was to do the Wilson trifecta, and the OB couloir on Kit Carson as a back-up plan.

Airport check-in flew by, and I breezed my … Continue reading Operation Moose Drool →

I saw the new edit this morning on BroBomb and thought I'd give Owen another shout. I only make one, very brief appearance in this one, with a frontflip at 2:33 (my POV of the flip can be found here). It was a rowdy fall, but it was super fun to ski with Owen a … Continue reading The Unemployment Chronicles 5: It’s Spring! – Trashpile Productions →

MAYcember

Posted on by Jon Jay in Colorado, Skiing

The first weekend of May consisted of powder skiing at Rocky Mountain National Park and Echo Mountain. On May 1st, Jon, Owen, Chris, Tyler and Andrew and I went for a tour in the Terrain Park area of RMNP. No one had been back there in a week, so we had some interested route-finding episodes … Continue reading MAYcember →
