  2. #Canada #Backcountry types: what’s you go-to navigation option for backcountry/FSR navigation?

    Currently I’m using Avenza with purchased BC Backroads Mapbooks maps installed and it works pretty well, although the maps aren’t stitched together and so I often find myself having to switch from one map to the next, on the fly. I see Backroads has their own app now, which looks promising but it’s subscription-based, which I hate.

  4. Camp Muir, Rainier National Park. 8 mi, 4,640 ft (again). #PNW #hiking #backcountry #skiing

    The 2024 trip was in late July. Went in late May this time for more snow coverage.

    We were able to skin pretty much the whole way up except for the first 0.3 miles, over Panorama Point, and across Pebble Creek. Skied pretty much the same amount down.

    Conditions were considerably better this time. There was even a tiny bit of fresh snow that had been falling during the ascent!

  5. Well, we finally found snow in the Eifel mountains near #Bonn today and managed a shortish round on #backcountry #skis. If you zoom this pic, you'll see my tired and troubled face as I once again realise that #nordic free-heel bindings represent an evil kind of pseudo freedom. I'm thinking of using proper #alpine touring bindings in future, even on moderate, rolling terrain. Too old to #telemark, too young to die!

  6. I wouldn't consider myself an athlete... but I'll pretend to be to for the shot.

    This is a video of when I went backpacking into the Petrified Forest National Park to shoot the Milky Way.

    I learned a lot about packing.
