WORTH WATCHING | TSIRKU - Director’s Cut

Located deep in the Saint Elias mountains where Alaska, British Columbia, and the Yukon converge, there is a place most skiers and snowboarders only dream of visiting. Brought to you by The North Face and Sherpas Cinema, Tsirku is a big-mountain adventure ski film featuring snowboarder Ralph Backstrom and skiers Hadley Hammer and Sam Anthamatten, who set out to tackle the fabled Corrugated spine lines of the Tsirku Glacier.

TRIP REPORT | Ogden Boulder Field - So, we forgot to follow up in the podcast on our quick trip up to the boulder field last night. Here's the written version: Below is a pick of Chase on the Tooth. Really, Chase is testing the stretchy-ness factor of Boulder Denim jeans for an upcoming blog so the actual bouldering wasn't much. But, we did walk through the boulder field and get on a rock for a few. Temps at 4:45pm were perfect. The trail is a mix between mud and ice, so use caution on the approach. All lower boulder field rocks are accessible with no snow build-up and little mud. Boulder on!
