    Osprey packs

    I've had a Stratos for my daypack for the past few years and I love it. The fit is great, it is super light, and I've never had any trouble with the quality.

    PeakVisor App

    I bought it a couple of years ago for a trip to GNP and found that it was pretty cool to have! (although, admittedly, I didn't do a very good job of lining up the names with the peaks in my pics)

    Work trip to Billings, MT

    @Rockskipper have you been to that Yellowstone Hot Springs yet? We were in Gardner last month and wanted to check it out but ended up not having the time, but I'm curious you're thoughts if you've been there.

    Work trip to Billings, MT

    Hi @Nick - The below link says Beartooth isn't scheduled to open until May 24th. I don't know this for sure, but there is a gate that stays closed down by Red Lodge, which they might not open until that date, regardless of how early the DOT is able to clear snow. Might be worth a call to the...

    Close Calls

    I had the same thing happen with my daughter! She would have been 6 at the time, and her and I were hiking to a lake with our dog. When we got close enough to see the lake she got excited and took off running. Of course, the dog ran with her and ended up tripping her and she landed face first...

    What did you buy today?

    Fritschi Vipec Evo 12 I have been pretty vocal with friends about how unhappy I was with those bindings. They broke twice within a year of owning them, and that was only on about 5 uses. The piece that held the brake in place kept busting. When I returned them the second time to REI, they...

    What did you buy today?

    Hey Art - Funny story about those boots. The very first time I took them out for a tour, I had an issue where the toe box actually collapsed in on my toes. Turns out, it was a bad design on my bindings that allowed this to happen: Anyway, Backcountry.com was great to work with and I...

    Ski Mountaineering the Highland Mountains, MT

    This report is from a few weeks ago, but I am just now getting a chance to put all the photos together. A friend of mine had never been to the Highland Mountain lookout, so we've been talking about taking a trip up there for a while now. In the summer you can drive to within 1.5 miles of the...

    Album Snow and Winter Shots

    Very little snow in the Highland Mountains of Montana this year. We made the trip up Red Mountain on Sunday but were only able to ski a short distance as most of the snow is blown off the ridge.

    Looks like there is a road off to the right side of the photo... Hatcher Pass maybe?

    3 Sons & A King

    Interesting. I can't see the comment either. It's either waiting to be "Approved" or the poster deleted it.
