Weekend Outlook: 4th of July

Today marks my one year anniversary of being a Famous Internet Skier. 365 days ago G invited me to join his motley crew and blog about the weather. Personally, I was honored. G, Sam and Allen had earned my respect with their kick-ass skiing and stellar TR’s on T G R I saw them as the skiers I wanted to be. (Mainly one with time to SKI!). Now, being the type that plunges into things headfirst on a whim I of course joined up having no idea where it would lead. Well things could not have worked out better. I love writing weather reports. Nothing is more fun than tracking a storm and watching it explode, all the while directing these guys to the best and deepest snow. When it all comes together it’s FKNA fantastic. Hopefully, you all have enjoyed it as much as I have.
Looking forward to next year, we have some great improvements in the works for the weather page that will seriously rock for skiers. Hopefully we’ll be able to present you all the products you should be using in one convenient place. Combined with my forecasts, the new tools we’re going to post up will ensure you don’t get skunked on any storms. Plus we’re developing an interactive feature that will allow you communicate directly with our site and stream your boots on the ground observations right to my forecasts. (Look for that in the winter). Exciting!
But before all of that we have some fine summer weather to talk about.

“Where do you go if you are Run Out of Ammo?” Down down down! It’s just the law of gravity! Indeed Run Out Ammo is cold and clear even on the hottest summer days. If you’re seeing this view (either with or without snow), you’re probably on your way up; en route to a great day of recreation.

TR: Mud, Bugs, and Humidity – 3 Days on the Long Trail

It’s been a while since I’ve gone on a multiday backpacking trip. It’s not that I dislike backpacking, but somehow over the last few years whenever I’ve had a few days free in the summer I find myself rock climbing or mountain biking instead of sweating down the trail with a heavy pack. Still, I have many fond memories from countless backpacking adventures throughout the Whites and the Greens growing up, and when Kate and I found ourselves with several free days between graduation festivities and starting summer work, we decided to go for a hike.

Ever have one of those days where everything just stops? I’m not talking about the “time stopped at the peak of this mountain while I watched the sun rise” way. More along the lings of “oh my god it’s only 11 am?” sort of way. If you have you know my today. Even Sam’s awesome adventure didn’t do the trick or Porter’s first excursion since this. Perhaps the weather will.
