After the last few attempts on Rainier, which have been mostly successful in terms of skiing lines but unsuccessful in terms of summitting, an idea formed to try something in two days instead of the single push method. The idea came in a revelation on a previous trip to Rainier when I was hallucinating during a short break.

Really sad news is spreading throughout the freeskiing community and the world today as reports come in of another inspiring and incredibly talented skier who has died pursuing his passion. Fredrik Ericsson, well known in the big mountain skiing world, is reported to have died Friday morning on his K2 summit push, falling 1,000+ meters.

We've skied three times this month... the driest July on record... and it rained or snowed on every trip. How does that work? This trip we hit fresh snow on the last day of July, for real, atop none other than Mt Baker, Washington, USA.

Ever since first reading the Hummels tales of skiing and exploring the north slopes of Mt.

If you're a skier feelin' the summer time blues, there's still a pretty sweet way to get your fix... Fredrik Ericsson's blog. The mountain man himself is on an epic ski expedition for his 2nd attempt at skiing K2 continuously from summit to basecamp - something nobody has done before him.

Drum roll please... the staff at Mountain Hardwear Canada have reviewed the entries in their 2010 Big Mountain Freeskier Search, and the winner has been chosen.

An epic winter isn't complete without cat-skiing, is it? After weeks of awesome conditions in Whistler, the snow was finally getting harder to find in late March, and we momentarily didn't know what to do with ourselves. With months of pow behind us, we weren't about to settle for b-grade skiing, and knew there had to be freshies somewhere.

Calling all freeskiers who like free stuff. Doglotion.com just launched our biggest contest yet in partnership with Mountain Hardwear… the Big Mountain Freeskier Search.

Some of the best things in life happen on short notice, with no planning whatsoever. Last week's trip to the ACC's Jim Haberl Hut in the Tantalus Range right above Squamish, BC, was no different. It all started with Tobin and I driving back from a sweet day at Whistler, glad to be alive (long story), when we looked up at Tantalus, like we do EVERY DAY, on our way back to Squamish.

After almost six weeks with a pathetic amount of snowfall, the Kashmiri snow gods finally had a can of whoop-ass in store for us. With 1.5 meters in the forecast, some skiers fled the resort knowing it was their last chance to catch a flight for days to come, while other’s bunkered down to see what the storm would yield.
