					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s sad to say but I haven&#8217;t really explored Olympic National Park as much as I&#8217;d like &#8211; or at all. So when I had some downtime this weekend, I figured I would head to Ocean Shores for the weekend and spend some quality time exploring the Quinault region of Olympic National Park. I ventured into the park in the early afternoon, first driving around the North Shore of Lake Quinault which was breathtaking and felt like I was driving in a Subaru commercial. Needless to say, I rallied around the corners and loved every minute of it. Eventually I found myself at the trailhead of Lake Irely. It was a 2.2 mile round trip hike and looked like a great beginner hike. The hike had a ton of bridges, old growth and massive trees along the journey. Unfortunately Lake Irely wasn&#8217;t so much of a lake when I got there &#8211; it was completely dry. Rather than go on a further hike, I turned around so I had time to enjoy the coast in the evening. After the hike, I stopped at the multiple waterfalls along the South Shore road. They were truly breathtaking and so close to the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So far I&#8217;ve been really lucky in Washington.  Since I don&#8217;t have a vehicle that can handle snow while I&#8217;m in town I&#8217;ve been really good at carpooling and hitching rides.  I&#8217;m going green in Washington.   I talked to Gorio from evo and the original plan was to ride Sunday, waking up at 7am.  Well 7am passed and I went back to bed thinking if there&#8217;s no call then I can spend the day hanging in Seattle.  Eventually I got the call and met up with him to go ride Stevens Pass.  With a quick stop at the Sultan Bakery for some breakfast, we journeyed up to the mountain.  With no new snow it was a good morning to sleep in a little bit and drive up to ride by mid-morning.   One thing I miss about Washington is the people that push my riding and in Washington they really do and they are older than me!  The Washington mountain men kill it snowboarding, now in their 30&#8217;s and 40&#8217;s these guys still make me work my ass off when I&#8217;m riding and still I&#8217;m in awe to be riding with them.   I swear they get better with [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I made my way down to Summit County for the weekend, with a variety of events going on to attend like Oktoberfest and Working Out the Kinks premiere in Denver. Of course&#8230;plans changed and ended up missing both of those but spent Saturday on snow taking photos. It had snowed in Colorado less than a week ago so there was still some fresh snow to be enjoyed but not really rideable except in the area where snow has stuck around all summer. I really wasn&#8217;t expecting to snowboard, so I didn&#8217;t bring down my gear for the weekend. But luckily I brought a camera and that made me the photog for the day. It was sunny and I forgot sunscreen so I&#8217;m paying for that mistake today&#8230;I&#8217;m burnt crispy in the face. Saturday was a beautiful day, really warm out and surprisingly warmer as you got higher up the drive to Breck. I had 6 people packed in my truck for the drive up. We had to park the truck lower than where the rails are set up because of snow on the road. It was a great day cause there were two other cars when we got there and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today we ventured out to Mt. Evans.  It is the worlds highest paved road sitting at 14,240 feet with amazing views around it.  After the highway open on May 23rd, Gag&#8217;s and his crew made it out to ride Mt Evans in June and the pictures he sent me were awesome to check out.    Here&#8217;s a photo of Gag&#8217;s himself on Mt Evans ollie&#8217;ing over a boulder back in June.  Unfortunately since then the snow has melted and only small patches of snow remain.  But in early June the Gag&#8217;s crew had a sweet time of enjoying snowboarding at 14,000 feet. Photo compliments of Mike Gagliardi We went up to Mt. Evans to check it out, see what snow was left since Gag&#8217;s had rode it and venture onto the top of a mountain we hadn&#8217;t been.  It was refreshing to see a big Spacecraft sticker on the sign to Mt Evans The road took a lot longer than expected and I drove slow with some nice drops on the sides.  However there were still snow patches throughout the drive and here&#8217;s some photos showing off that there is still small amounts of snow that are possible to ride.

					<description><![CDATA[After spending yesterday at St Mary&#8217;s Glacier and me not wanting to leave Summit County, we headed up to ride the snow that is left at Breck&#8217;s 4th of July bowl.   You can actually drive up to the top and park right by the snow, but it&#8217;s a rocky road and 4WD is necessary.    This is the view from the top today. Luckily I drive a Toyota Tacoma and it does the job&#8230;even when I doubt it.  Here&#8217;s the crew today:  Lauren hiding behind TJ changing his pants and K.There are generally rails set up and today there was one left and a couple small logs to play around with.  I parked the truck about 20 feet from the snow, so there wasn&#8217;t much hiking involved today.  The girls:  Lauren and myself.   TJ setting up a jump within the view of being in the clouds. I spent most of my time being the photographer for the day, which is quite fine with me.  I did make a couple turns on the snowpack and it was fun.  The snow was soft and dirty but less bumpy than St. Mary&#8217;s Glacier yesterday. Lauren riding the rail We brought some [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today was a day to track down what is left of snow in Colorado. There are a lot of places with a abundance of summer snow like Independence Pass and St. Mary&#8217;s Glacier. Those places are a farther drive from Steamboat so we decided to try the Flat Tops to see if there was any snow to ride. The flat tops are glacier formed plateau&#8217;s here in Northwest Colorado. From Steamboat it&#8217;s 30 miles away but you can see the flat tops from town showing snow from a distance. We wanted to hit these snow patches, but with the distance and the time we had it wasn&#8217;t very possible. The Flat Tops have an abundance of beautiful lakes and reservoirs nearby. Emily and Sean came over from Utah to spend the weekend in Colorado to earn turns, yesterday they hit up St. Mary&#8217;s Glacier and wanted more riding today. Emily was one of my industry profile interviews, and I know her from high school way back in the day. Sean lived in Steamboat and knows the area, but it was our first time going to the Flat Tops to find snow. Thanks Ranger Station for the awesome map&#8230;Sean trying to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s closing weekend at Loveland so today was definitely a good day to finish out the season. I met up with friends at 8am to make the drive down to Loveland. It was Jakub, Amy, John and myself to make the trek together. We met up with Jay in the base when we arrived at Loveland. The crew (L to R): Jay, Jakub, John and Amy We managed to make it to the mountain around 10am when the parking lot was full. However with our good luck, we got a spot up close as someone pulled out. It was a beautiful day, fresh new snow on the mountain and the sunshine was out, no winds in the morning either. The entire mountain was open including chair 9 which had the goods. We made our way over to chair 9, made our way along the ridge and dropped it without having to hike. Our lines John coming down Those first turns we made were good, some iffy spots and rocks to watch out for but overall really wide open and some freshies. Below this run, Jay took us to a drop to get some shots. Unfortunately the shots I took were [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Since Gary came up from Denver, it was the plan to splitboard today on Buffalo Pass. It was my first time splitboarding and finally getting out in the backcountry with Gary to make turns. He&#8217;s a &#8220;earn your turn&#8221; kind of guy so I knew today would be a workout and painful experience but with some good powder turns in the process. Cody his extreme dog came along for the backcountry adventure. I borrowed his spare 166cm splitboard for the day. It was the first time for me to ride a splitboard and I have rode boards bigger than 166cm so I felt pretty confident it wouldn&#8217;t be an issue. I did have girl moments with the splitboard where I needed Gary&#8217;s help to get the bindings moved around. Gary made sure we had all the safety stuff with us for riding backcountry. I had on a beacon and in my pack had a probe. Gary checked the snow pack on the hike up to make sure it was safe. He checked the pitch of the run to see the degrees. Gary&#8217;s SplitboardMy splitboard with my Rome Madisons We made it up in early afternoon to Buffalo Pass which was [&#8230;]]]></description>
