Crappy photos of great moments. This summer in the Alps, I experimented with carrying only an iphone as a camera. Worked well in “capturing” some moments without being a slave to the camera. Created with flickr slideshow.
While going through the process of becoming a Mountain Guide through the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA), I was thrice instructed and evaluated by a colleague who was very fond of using the phrase “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” during course debriefs and performance evaluations. While this idiom generally conjured up...
Our meager Colorado snowpack is dwindling, and unfortunately I chose this April to stay here in Crested Butte and make the most our spring ski opportunities. I guess I can chalk it up to bad luck after an excellent winter chasing powder… Anyhow, last week Josh Hirshberg and I ventured deep into the Maroon Bells-Snowmass...
Mike Bromberg and Ben Mitchell skiing in Chamonix, France

Captured with Panasonic GF2, GoPro Hero HD, and iPhone...
As the summer winds down, and I begin to transition into the fall rock climbing season and further on to winter, it’s nice to reflect back upon all the summer’s challenges. Three countries, a handful of different ranges and sub-ranges, and dozens of objectives would nauseate even the most enthusiastic reader, so I though it...
Perhaps because of the wet weather, or maybe because I’m trying to fill the skiing void. (When have you seen an Alpine climber descending on foot with a shit eating grin on his face?) But this season I’ve been lusting hard after new mountain bikes. After my first foray into bikepacking earlier this month, I’ve...
