A few shots from our first Chile Volcanoes trip of the season. A low pressure system off the Pacific coast wouldn’t leave us alone, but we maximized our windows of opportunity and skied thousands of feet of perfect corn, took in pastel sunrises, stood on summits, zenned out in riverside hot springs, dined on exquisite Chilean cuisine, drove through intense rainstorms, and enjoyed the company of high quality humans. A second trip wrapped up today, one more is in progress, and one more to go after that. ⛷️ 🇨🇱 🌋 #skichilevolcanoes #araucanía taken in Araucanía Region by @tyre1d

Glacier Peak yesterday with a 7L running vest. Blessed with clean air to breathe and blue above. A highlight of my short-lived amateur running career. 34 miles, 11K vert. taken in Glacier Peak by @tyre1d

Mountain running…the running part is out of character for me. This clip is from yesterday – a long mission to visit two peaks I’ve had on my mind for some time.

Father’s Day adventure chasing @samuel_naney on a classic local mountaineering objective and taking as many notes as possible.

Finding puffy jacket temperatures. Summit & swim on a mountain we see from our house.

Morning shadows in the subalpine yesterday 10-ish miles in.

Snow cruising on a popular North Cascades ski run.

Dropping elevation quickly. Appeals to my skier sensibilities.

Sam topping out.

Dads getting high.

Jungle foliage.

Cool summit shale.

Looking back at the first summit of the day from the second.

Stats from yesterday’s mission. Thanks to @melissaarnot for teaching me the ways. My longest running adventure since she made me run a 50k with her 10 years ago. And thanks to @rikjammusic for the soundtrack. taken in North Cascades by @tyre1d

After his Alaska season, Norrøna ambassador Tyler Reid travelled to Norway to explore Arctic ski terrain by boat - surrounded by steep mountains, cold seas and ever-changing weather.

For more than a decade, Tyler has guided this same group of skiers, building friendships shaped by shared experiences in remote places. Together, they have ski toured in Greenland, Siberia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Canada, and Alaska. But this was their first trip to Norway. 🇳🇴

Rarely in the mountains without a camera, Tyler is just as drawn to the motion of nature as he is to the skiing itself. Snow drifting through the air, water carving its way through the landscape and trees moving with the wind all become part of the story.

10 years ago today with @melissaarnot. After a three-hour rest stop at the 8300m high camp we started walking by headlamp. Calm winds. Stars above. 12.5 hours later we were on the summit, her without an oxygen mask.

We’d only been together a few months when one day on the Washington coast she asked me if I would be her climbing partner on Everest that spring. Just the two of us. Her attempting a goal she’d been working towards for 7 years. Me as her support team and photographer.

I didn’t feel worthy of this opportunity - I’d never been to the Himalayas before and I had zero experience above 7000m. I had put in a lot of years in the trenches of Mt. Rainier and dabbled in some expedition guiding early in my career, but ski guiding was always my focus. Low altitude ski guiding. This was her realm.

We moved to a snowy cabin in the mountains of Idaho and I trained harder than I ever had in my life. It was intimidating and I wanted to be a solid partner. I even got into running.

Being on the north side, just the two of us, with no one to answer to was surreal. I forgot we were on Everest. It just felt like a vision quest through spiritually charged terrain, fueled by love and possibility.

Watching her succeed was beautiful beyond words. I had a feeling she would. I was also probably riding the oxygen deprivation high that makes everything feel warm and fuzzy, but that’s how I remember it. The variables were in alignment, the rubber bands were off, and I had a front row seat.

The rest of our mystical journey is detailed in ENOUGH by Melissa Arnot Reid. The paperback version was just released last week. Read it if you haven’t already.

Melissa won’t see this for a bit…she’s on another mountain right now. taken in Mount Everest Sagarmāthā सगरमाथा ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ 珠穆朗玛峰 by @tyre1d

Adventure skiing last week in Alaska’s Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Each day we set off with an open-minded definition of fun, and each day we are rewarded. Exploring new zones, new point-to-point tours, new peaks, and new mega-descents. With the arctic temps relegated to the morning hours, it’s starting to feel like spring at Tebay. taken in Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve by @tyre1d

Tebay Lodge is open for business ✨ A cold AF and beautiful AF week-one with blue-hued ice-crystal-suspended atmospheric clarity. Thanks to the Methow crew for opening our season. New peaks, new valleys, a wolverine sighting, and one morning waking up to -32F! Especially cool to have our longtime Chile Volcanoes outfitter @sergioperezmenares join us here in Alaska.
