Fire Totem


As you approach the Copper Spur you find yourself meandering through a burnt forest. Dead trees lurk from the ashes scattered on the snow, showing you the aftermath of the inferno. Here You may spot the greatest carver of the Northwest; Fire. And you may spot the Charcoal Totem.


North Face Of Mount Hood


Through the brunt forest she rises.

Journeys into the Backcountry



One of my old time backcountry partner is the legendary Maximilien. We've known each other, and climbed together for 12 years. After a small mission to Tahoe he shows me the way deep into his backyard. Skiing with your friends is priceless. Maximilien and Jonie ahead on the slope.
