I spent the first 11 days of April getting humbled in the Wind Rivers with @coldst_0ked and @sagenight

Getting deep into the range is an extensive walk through seemingly endless rolling foothills full of lodgepole & whitebark pine, subalpine fir, and Engelmann spruce trees. As Sean described, towing our rabid-dog-like sleds through this forest was fruitful, to say the least. At the midpoint and with a Little bit of luck, connecting alpine lakes is the name of the game. We were greeted with a strong April storm, followed by clear skies that offered good riding and travel conditions for much of our time.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, and big shoutout to @bookofpete for being our outside weatherman.

Set 2 of some of the best memories in 2025. A mix of local and out of state adventures with some great people.

The first image is when @bookofpete and I went for a vision quest in the Cascades. We ended up just taking our splitboards for a walk and didn't touch snow that day.

Day 3/4 in the cascades we took a short trip from camp to jade lake. Easily the coolest body of water I’ve ever seen. Electric blue surrounded by fog and tall mountains.

Thanks for the bravery @ben_summa

After 4 hours of flight delays, @ben_summa made it to Seattle around 2am. the three of us drove out to deception pass first thing in the morning. First stop on the agenda was Robin Lakes. these alpine lakes look out right over the central cascades with a grand view of rainier when its clear out.

Spent the last few days driving up to Port Orchard, Washington. The start of our trip has been quite slow and full of rest. We fell asleep most nights listening to the water. Hard to beat. <3

Recently had an incredible opportunity with @ecoflight and @saveourcanyons to climb into a Cessna biplane and cruise over the central Wasatch.

We were In awe as we passed through nooks and crannies of this place we call home. Very fortunate to see it from this perspective❤️ by @sam_werstak

Set out for a desert mission with the boys expecting a nice getaway. Very quickly did we all learn that the White Rim trail on a gravel rig is ill advised.

Thanks for the all time sufferfest, boys. taken in Moab, Utah by @sam_werstak

Its spring time and that means I'm going through the drives pulling out some nice images from the season. Captured these two making a dream come true.

Huge walls of granite line this ramp in the back of the Wasatch. Cold snow was holding well in the high alpine and provided these two with great conditions.
