St. Archer Mosaic IPA and Gunsight Couloir at Alta
A week from now, the holiday skiers will invade Little Cottonwood Canyon. That’s why I have been elated to get some good days in at Alta before the lift lines are filled with name labeled skis and rainbow dial-a-bindings. When … Continue reading
Back in my Turf with the Namesake Beer – Sawtooth Tandem Double Rye IPA in the Sawtooth
No innovation in brewing has meant more to SummitBrew than the crowler, the “canned on-the-spot” alternative to the 64 ounce glass growler. Sawtooth Brewing in the Wood River Valley of Idaho was where I first saw this magic in action … Continue reading

Millvue Peak Paired with Odell Isolation Ale
With the explosion in popularity of backcountry skiing, there’s a risk that I use my years of experience in the sport as an excuse to look upon the johnny-come-latelys with a bit of disdain. This last weekend, I had to … Continue reading

“I Can See My House from Here” – Broads Fork Twin Peaks Paired With Sockeye Galena Gold
Very few people in this world know what what it’s like to not have to wear a uniform for work. At some point in our lives, unless you’re Donald Trump or Prince William or the fortunate (or unfortunate) heir to … Continue reading

Zion N.P. Observation Pt./ Duvel Golden Ale
Zion National Park really never really slows down. Some credit for the continual traffic goes to the entrance town of Springdale itself, which seems to find great ways to to attract tourists outside to the convenient travel brackets of Memorial … Continue reading

Turtlehead Peak with Tenaya Creek Hop Ride
Moments after I stepped out of the Las Vegas airport, I remembered why I liked Reno and, until now, had never stepped foot in Clark County. Reno appealed to me for the easy access to the Sierra Nevada and its … Continue reading

Devil’s Lake/Balanced Rock paired with Ale Asylum Bedlam Trappist IPA

Uinta Lake 10,919 and SanTan Devil’s Ale
Minimal seems to be the theme in outdoor recreation. Nowhere has the minimal fad done more to benefit the outdoor enthusiast than in backpacking. Over the past few years, through various upgrades and refinements, I have winnowed weight from my … Continue reading
