Mt. Yale – Silver Creek Bowl Avalanche

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

OK, first off, you should know that despite what happened, Collin is alive and healthy with a bruised shin and he'll probably be skiing with his tail between his legs for a while. I can't really describe what he went through, but I'll tell you the events leading up to what happened. Secondly, we were … Continue reading Mt. Yale – Silver Creek Bowl Avalanche →

Posted on by Jon Jay in Climbing, Montana

I woke up five minutes before my alarm, unable to remember the night before.  The sun's first rays were coming in the window, with anticipation for a warm May day in Colorado.  I knew I had to get to the airport, there was no time to spare.

I feel like every outdoorsy person in Colorado takes at least one trip to the Utah desert every spring so that we can regain color in our skin, and also to realize there is more to life than 4am wake-ups and afternoon post-holing in brown slush. I am no exception, so I was happy to … Continue reading Finding a Cause of Snirt →

Shit for Brains Couloir

Posted on by Jon Jay in Colorado, Mountaineering, Skiing

We're in full-on couloir season here in Colorado. Chris, Andrew, Tyler, and Joe all decided to brave terrible weather and semi-frozen snow on the Shit for Brains couloir last Saturday. Shit for Brains is a couloir that cuts down the face of Black Mountain, and stares you in the face every time you ski at … Continue reading Shit for Brains Couloir →
