Psyched to have my first post on The High Route! Review of the new Pieps Pro IPS avalanche transceiver -- give a look!

The Pieps Pro IPS promises a true innovation: the ability to detect electromagnetic interference and mitigate it, both in send and search modes.

Great couple weeks with my friends at Mistaya Lodge. We did a one-week, hut-based AIARE 2 and then a week of ski-touring. Unbelievable food, great terrain, fun guests, and we found good skiing despite a huge warm-up. Appreciate working with my teammates at The Mountain Bureau LLC and the family-owned crew at Mistaya -- we're back next year, Jan. 26-Feb. 2 and Feb. 2-9. Yeahooo!

Ultra last-minute, but spot just opened on our Georgia adventure-ski mission -- meet us in Tbilisi, Georgia, no later than midday, February 21. Price cut. Interested?!

A ski touring mission to the mountainous country of Georgia, the birthplace of wine and an ancient crossroads of cultures. Join us for a week of ski-touring in the southern Caucasus, beneath 5000m peaks and along roads traveled for centuries by monks, pilgrims, traders, and of course adventure seeke

Winter 2023-24! Come ski-touring with us in some familiar places like Svalbard ... or an entirely new one like Georgia. We're all over the place next winter and hopefully you can join us.

I just watched this punk skate up Mt Amabilis … what a little engine! Good job Dommy!

With another 1m+ forecast, this might be an epic week! Happiest holidays everybody!

An eggshell crust from the day before made things challenging, but this coming week should turn things around!

Good day with a good crew in the Alpental valley. Thanks to Scott and the NWAC team for putting it together — good storm cycle starting! Buckle up!

The season begins. Still don’t have my gear, but cobbled together a tour up the road, using my mother-in-law’s poles, rock skis poached in Colorado, and my big (47L) ski pack.
