North Maroon Peak – Ski POV

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

We dropped in at about 10:30am and followed some barely visible tracks for the ski decent. During the climb, we encountered everything from impenetrable ice to knee-deep sugar snow, but the descent only saw ice, corn, and slush. At 1:15 you can see the exposure we were climbing around on the east face. At 2:20 … Continue reading North Maroon Peak – Ski POV →

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 →

The Unemployment Chronicles 5: It’s Spring! – Trashpile Productions

Posted on by Jon Jay in Colorado, Skiing

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 →
