Spring or Winter?
Is it spring or winter? That has been the pervasive question up here in the mountains of Idaho this April and May. In late March it was looking like the lackluster 2010 winter was over for good. But mother nature has decided to be indecisive and kept throwing cold storms in our direction. These are some photos from the past month. Is it spring or winter? you decide, because mother nature isn't, and that's just fine in my book.

The Highmark Jump
Tristan, Tj, Ian, Cam, and Dylan all went out on Saturday and built the Highmark jump. These are photos from the session that ensued after our behemoth creation was brought to life. This jump spot is sick, it is a huge roller with a big steep landing. But the jump is also notorious for being highmarked by snowmobilers, hence the name the "highmark jump." On this particular day there was no highmark in the landing and it was ready to go. We built the jump differently than normal, normal, being straight on. But this time we decided to build it from the side and turn it into a giant hip landing. Check it out.

Canonball Run
What do you do on a windy gloomy spring day when the snow isn't good. Well, my brother Cam and I (Dylan) decided to grab a case of beer and hit the trail up to Burgdorf hotsprings. When we got out north about 20 miles the skies cleared slightly and it ended up being sunny up at the hotsprings. We drank a beer every couple miles or so and by the time we reached Secesh summit I had a good buzz going. We hung out on the Secesh river and then spent the rest of the day at the hotspings swimming. The new staff is super chill and we were drinking beers in the hotsping. They normally wouldn't allow this in previous years. We had the whole place to ourselves and I healed up my sore bones in the hot pool. All in all in was a great day and the trail home was scenic and relaxing.

Clip of the Week
This is a shot from a couple of days ago. Cam Holt sets off a small slide and rides away from it. Nobody likes avalanches but they do make for good footage.
