      Wish you had a better day on Bachelor, or should I say clearer day, that’s on my bucket list. But, hey this is a pretty awesome season so far. Mt. Baker is another bucket list for me up in Washington

      thank you for calling it "packed powder"! That is definitely not considered "ice" in the ice coast. Ice is when the entire trail is just clear bulletproof such that you can see the grass underneath but it would take a drill with thousands of pound-feet of torque just to penetrate the surface.

    I was at meadows yesterday for a race and it was arguably one of the most dangerous days we've had. The race took out five of my teammates on the middle fork run for a GS course, including my brother, so major props to you for being able to send Heather Canyon whilst recording. My friend and I thought about doing it but decided against it because of the timing. Usually Mt. Hood has better conditions, it just so happened that everything was sorta iced out that day. Glad to see my home mountain get featured on your page, you have great stuff going on!

Love the new terrain and seeing you on some new mountains. Also good call on following your gut on that run...when you stopped your first time down that run...as soon as you started talking about tree wells in my mind I was saying "I wonder if he sees that giant freaking tree well right next to him" 🤣 intimidating terrain.

    Stoke sesh through the trees and glad to see you trust the universe on conditions and say no. A little bummed though you weren't able to stay a few days at Mt Bachelor. Understandable though if you got a schedule and a list to check off. The views from the top are epic and that south sister is sexy AF. Hope you can make it out at some point and hit the summit, it has endless lines especially someone at your caliber of skiing. Plus doing it all on top of an active volcano is just awesome!

    Too bad conditions didn't allow you to ski much of Heather and none of Clark Canyons; they are immense and awesome! Conditions are variable @ MHM, but I've had a ton of powder and soft snow days there; most years they get so much snow!! It is really critical to know where you're going and scout your lines at MHM because if you're in the Canyons or Private Reserve you can find yourself all alone, and conditions are so variable. For example, at times you can be on dangerous ice in very steep places, but feet away, in leeward areas there is terrific skiing in wind-deposited snow. I ski in Utah, now; moved to be close to family. But, there's pretty incredible skiing @ MHM in Private Reserve and the two Canyons!
