  I swear, this is not a love letter. This is not a fan letter, although I am, it seems, a fan. My mighty Prius with Blizzaks zipped from Bend to Salt Lake City to support some friends on Tuesday evening.

    More slideshows in the PNW please! This intermountain supremacy must end. Jokes aside, it seems really cool to be able to learn and hear about this trip from Adam and Billy. These slideshows also can act as a hub for the community that I really appreciate. I just got back from Bozeman Ice Fest (as always, a mixed bag between amazing community and too hectic), and enjoyed the slideshow from Sam Hennessy. I feel like backcountry skiing sometimes lives too much in the “influencer” sphere and not enough in the “community” sphere. I was chatting with an experienced friend out there who also pointed out that, besides the trip report aspect, these events are a really good opportunity to see old friends and make new partners!

      Hey Alex, I’ll reach out via email. Let’s put our minds together on this to get a few ski/ride oriented slideshows going in the PNW. Seeing Billy and Adam in SLC reminded me of how slideshows slow things down a bit and add a level of intimacy that fosters some good storytelling.
