West Chute on Kendall
Dec 22nd, 2009 | By rob
Itching to get on the snow and earn my turns, Trevor and I made an early morning start out of Summit West, and attempted to reach the top of Kendall and ski the nice chute I always stare at from I-90. About 300 feet below the top, we meet our match with some ice and decided to stop there. Turns...

I had high hopes for the tour a couple of days before. But in talking with Erik and Tim, I realized conditions had rapidly deteriorated and this was likely going to be an exploration tour, rather than a tour focused on skiing.
Arriving at Yellowstone road, my suspicions were confirmed....
Kendall Couloir 1
Feb 14th, 2009 | By rob
Tim was at the Pass but not able to ski, and was nice enough to film my descent from Hyak (and also make sure I arrived safely back at my car). I left from Yellowstone Road, and other than trying to find a suitable crossing for Coal Creek, it was a pretty easy skin to the top.
With a...
Kendall Pow Fest
Dec 11th, 2010 | By rob
Tnt and I headed up the Commonwealth thinking we may try for Red Mountain. Lack of visibility and a nice looking chute on the West Side of Kendall persuaded us to alter course. It was snowing hard, but a hasty pit showed a good snowpack and we went as far up the chute as skinning allowed, and made...

Trevor, Peter and I headed up through the Commonwealth basin and onto Kendall in search of some good snow. Our first descent into Kendall Lake was ok, but the snow quality was inconsistent. We discovered the goods on our second and third...

Dale had some sad news to share about a death of a friend that weighed us down. But we made the best of a bad day, and did a couple of laps behind the cabin. The first lap was nice, and by the time we reached the top of the clearcut for the second lap, there was deep pow waiting for us. I didn't...

Seems like all my tours have been on Kendall lately. There's so much fun terrain on Kendall, it's hard to stay away... I was rolling solo for the day, and with low avalanche danger and poor skiing conditions, I decided to scout a route on Kendall I had been thinking about. I started off at...

Mike and I took the scenic route up across Coal Creek and through Kendall Lakes. A group had attained the ridge before us, and their track veered right towards the double barrelled chutes, so we went left. We scouted a couple of ways down, all of which looked a little crusty - our descent was...

Jan 22nd, 2012 | By rob
With avy worries fairly high, Stefan and I decided to head into the trees in search of ample powder and fresh lines. Our location must have been a wise choice, as we ran into at least eight other groups.... The snow was fantastic, and the heavy snow and winds kept us from venturing out of the...
