Lake Agnes Tour
Mark and Kate take us up the Poudre Canyon to look for a good winter snowshoe and spilt board tour. As we gain altitude the cloud cover grows, but the temperature feels balmy, above freezing. We decide to head for Lake Agnes, one of my favorite mountain lakes, and also one I’ve never visited in…

The Thaw
On our third day with a high above freezing, we’re finally coming out of the deep freeze. We have city water for the first time in over a month. My mind seems to melt with the drifts, losing the hardness needed to survive the endless cold. I soak up the warmth and crave more. Then…

Taggart Lake Tour
At last, straight from Jackson Hole, an action shot! Ann goes full tilt on the pleasant 4-mile loop to Taggart Lake in Grand Teton National Park. It’s a little windy today, which feels pretty cold with the below zero temperatures. There’s also a nice cloud bank rolling in, which we hope will provide some snow.…

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
Rendevous Mountain reports three inches of new snow, so Ann and I head for the mountain with Jon and Katja to give it a try. The new snow is just enough to soften the icy base and make it fun. Jon and Katja give us a good tour of the mountain, starting on Apres Vous…

Shadow Mountain Tour
We plan to hit the ski lifts at Teton Village while we’re in Jackson, but we’re hoping for some new snow first. In the meantime, I head out with my dad and Sarah for another cross country outing, this time to Shadow Mountain. Once again we follow a forest road packed by snowmobiles, but this…

Cache Creek Backhill Ride
We’re in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with my dad and Sarah, staying with Ann’s uncle Jon. Dad has bestowed upon me a piece of gear I’ve dreamed about for years, a Voile split board. It splits into wide skis with skins for touring up the hill, then joins into a snowboard for bombing down. I can’t…

A couple of adjustments were needed to run under WordPress 2.1. The GeoMashup home page has been updated. This may be the release I eventually call 1.0. There were 125 downloads of 1.0 Beta 1, and no issues reported.
