Darkstar: April 27, 2010 Uphill: 3,300 ft. | Downhill: 3,300 ft.

Lugged my training rock up Tallac yesterday. Might be the last day for that, but I'm sure my pack in AK will be that much heavier. Great training run, good porn snow up high with the classic fun lines...[view]

Darkstar: March 9, 2010 Uphill: 3,500 ft. | Downhill: 3,500 ft.

A great Tahoe ski and surf day today, with 2 laps on Tallac, skiing the Cascade drainage pitch first, then the other n-face tree pitch, followed by some COLD waves in Incline Village. Needless to say,...[view]

People die skiing in the backcountry every year. Avalanches, crevasses, trees, human error, weather, tree wells, rabid sasquatches, among other things can kill you in an instant. Use this guide at your own risk, we are not responsible for any wanker getting all wanked up in the wankin' backcountry. That being said, even the most experienced backcountry skier can get caught off guard. Take avalanche classes, carry a beacon, probe, shovel and avalung AND KNOW HOW TO USE THEM. Just because you buy them, doesn't mean you get magical powers of invincibility. Many people who own beacons have no clue how to operate them. More importantly than any gear you can buy, you need to know how to safely travel in avalanche terrain, minimize potential hazards, and interpret how weather affects the snowpack. This requires time and experience. Learn from others, be safe and courteous, and when in doubt go home and live to ski another day. The amount of snow needed to be dug up to rescue a buried victim, on average weighs right around an actual ton. In North America 25% of victims die from hitting trees, rocks, and other sharp unforgiving surfaces. It only takes one miscalculation to have the mountains kick your ass. Just because you see tracks or someone else skiing a line, does not mean you should ski it. Remember, individual actions affect all of us. Take care of each other out there, we are all on the same team.
