The 2 Mill day
It started off as it should, I got to the parking lot first, dilly dallied around till a few girls got ahead. Passed them and then I broke trail for 2 thousand feet up onto the Bonney moraines. Although I was super driven I still had to make sure the skin track was decent to [...]
2millHill
All right, hit it today with lots of friends and family, lots to say and write but I have things to do. Photos and such following.
Sooo very close
Tomorrow is the day, all year I have worked towards this one number. A number that will feel so great to hit. I am already enjoying the feeling of crossing that line. Not that it is in the bag but its pretty close. I only have just over 9 grand. Hell ya. And I hope [...]
neck deep
How’s the last thousands of feet feeling? Well amazing since each descent is fantastic. but probable around 8 expletives per thousand feet up. Words that I will not write here keep escaping my mouth as I dig deep to head up that next pitch. The psych is great but its been a super long and [...]
good times
A deep day of trail breaking made today arduous but the powder was exceptional. Dave,Jeff and I drove up the Laforme road and headed straight up into the hills. Initially we could not tell exactly where we where and we headed up until something made sense. Eventually we figured out where we were, and we [...]
1019 runs
I was wondering how many runs I have taken so far this year and in 261 days I have averaged 7520 ft a day with 1019 runs total. Exhausted. There is not a lot of ummmfff in my steps these days, I am still able to pull of big days but it is requiring many [...]
6 days left…
Wow. Merry Christmas to all, we had a great Christmas yesterday and a fantastic dinner to finish it off. I hope everyone out there took time out of their lives to enjoy family and friends. It’s hard to believe that I am this close to the end of my mission, and that it seems feasible. [...]
Skiing late
Wow what a powder filled day. Nice short drive to the trailhead and then 4600 ft to the top of Begbie shoulder. Coming out of the gates I was super tired, aiming for my fourth 10 thousand footer in a row I was fatigued and not pumped about the amount of skinning ahead. 4600 feet [...]
9 days left…..
Time never stops, which is great. Since this mission is almost complete. 69 631 ft to go in 9 days, with Christmas off that makes just over 8700 ft a day for those 8 days. Still a serious challenge but one I should be up to. As long as sickness and injuries remain absent. Last [...]
1.9 mill
oh yahhhhh did that ever feel great. For so much of this quest I have questioned whether I would make it or not. I have wondered to what point will I make it and then collapse or hurt myself. Now I am 95% of the way there and 2 weeks to go… 99 500 ft [...]
