The Classic Franconia Ridge Trail

Written by David Flinn

At long last, I finally made the commitment to do the Ridge.  And in summary, I totally recommend anyone to get up on the Ridge and enjoy it for yourself. Little else can be said but "Just Do It"!

Alta - The Search for Powder

Written by David Flinn

While it is may require a lot of drinking, eating, and finally arguing around the campfire, I say that Alta is certainly one of the PowderHound's destinations for the ultimate in powder. Ahh-hhh Alta! Please don't take my word for it but the Little Cottonwood canyons of Utah (basically Alta, Snowbird and the remote non-lift-assisted crags there) offer the most champagne-like snow in the world. Many will argue that the Alps may be better, but after a few bottles of wine, even the most devout Alps-aphile will begrudingly admit they love Alta and Snowbird, as well.

Flash video is 2:21 minutes long
