					<description><![CDATA[Last week I took out the Venture splitboard for the first day of the season splitboarding on the mountain.  Somedays you don&#8217;t get to ride during work but luckily the snow is waiting for you to finish work.  Just like last week, I finished work, grabbed my gear, my dog Capita and headed back to the mountain to skin up and ride down. [singlepic id=11522 w=300 h=534 float=] Today we started at Eagle Lodge which is closed down for the season.  The snow wasn&#8217;t as good as Canyon but the views were way better on the hike up.   This time I borrowed the ipod from the skier so I had tunes to listen to on the hike up (one ear only since who knows what&#8217;s on the mountain with you).  In fact on the way up, I noticed a recent track of footprints that weren&#8217;t my dog and bigger than my dog&#8217;s so I made sure to lookout for bears just in case. My dog Capita playing with a pine cone on the hike up [singlepic id=11524 w=500 h=334 float=] My goal for today&#8217;s splitboarding was making to chair 25 which we exceeded since we went past it up [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a busy week at work which means less ride time but that doesn&#8217;t mean I can&#8217;t ride after the lifts close and work ends.  I discovered splitboarding a couple years ago when I lived in Steamboat Springs, Colorado but it wasn&#8217;t till recently that I had the means to get into splitboarding.  For those not familiar with splitboarding, it&#8217;s a snowboard that&#8217;s split in half from nose to tail so it turns into skis for going uphill and you connect it back together to make a snowboard for going downhill. A while ago I started with acquiring the backcountry safety gear: shovels, beacon, probe, poles and then later added the mobility of getting up with the Venture Storm splitboard, Sparks Blaze bindings and skins.  Combined with rad packs to try out from K2, like the new pilchuk it made everything easy.  Thanks to Venture, K2 and Sparks, you&#8217;ll see me splitboarding more and more! In order to get my endurance back, get comfortable skinning up on the splitboard and be safer since I&#8217;d be doing it alone, I opted to skin up Mammoth Mountain with my dog.  Even though Mammoth is open till July 4, some of the [&#8230;]]]></description>
