Mountain memories: Binding Mounting

http://www.mikerecords.com/2011/04/binding-mounting.html

Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Just like everyone who has many pairs of skis mounted, I have had shops mount several pairs wrong, not to mention charging what seems to be a high fee for drilling about 16 holes. My biggest frustration here is the EXTREMELY high percentage of incorrect mounts. I see 2 alternatives:. Take them to a reputable shop to do the mount. Mount your own bindings. To mount your own bindings you will need these things:. Plastic Drill Hole Plugs. Of course you can use just a normal drill bi...

Mountain memories: Arctic Valley Ride - 9.5.2013

http://www.mikerecords.com/2013/09/arctic-valley-ride-952013_8.html

Sunday, September 8, 2013. Arctic Valley Ride - 9.5.2013. For the last several months I've felt like I've been in a prolonged period of cabin fever. It started with a long period stuck on the boat in the Prince William Sound, and with rainy season now in full effect here in Anchorage I've been having a hard time breaking out of it. 9 km and 650 vertical meters later, I made it to the ski area, I turned off the gravel road and pushed/rode my bike up a steep trail towards the top of the lifts.

Mountain memories: Sheep Creek Packraft - 6.7.2015

http://www.mikerecords.com/2015/06/sheep-creek-672015.html

Monday, June 22, 2015. Sheep Creek Packraft - 6.7.2015. I've wanted to do the Sheep Creek fly-in trip for a while now. But, making it happen has been a challenge. We had planned on doing it the previous weekend, but at the 3 PM the day before the pilot discovered that Crossover Lake was still frozen. Peering into the Kashwhitna River headwaters. Yay, not frozen! The next week brought cool temperatures and rain to Southcentral. When Cody landed on Crossover Lake on Friday it was 34 degrees and raining.

Mountain memories: Goodhope Creek - 3.14.2015

http://www.mikerecords.com/2015/04/goodhope-creek-3142015.html

Friday, April 10, 2015. Goodhope Creek - 3.14.2015. Skiing in Alaska is hard. There's a reason that film companies come here, get shut down for a month, then barely squeeze out a few good days. Meanwhile, they trigger big, scary, and dangerous avalanches. Dreamy zones around the Pinnacle. No helicopter, a full time job, and low interest in Russian Roulette via avalanche makes it even more of a challenge. Leaving the sleds behind. And it makes it even more fun. Topping out, the Mint Valley comes into view.

Mountain memories: 5, 4, 3, 1 - 5.2.2015

http://www.mikerecords.com/2015/07/5-4-3-1-522015.html

Thursday, July 16, 2015. 5, 4, 3, 1 - 5.2.2015. By early May the already shallow low-elevation snowpack was melting out. Higher, there was still snow, but getting there was a challenge. The other issue was the convective showers that had been passing through each afternoon. Had the precip fallen as snow or rain? Reaching an spatially variable windslab high in the couloir, we called it, skied down, and reassessed. And eventually dropped into a long corn run towards Rabbit Creek. Alex:. I'd love to do this...

Mountain memories: Kanuti Picture Project

http://www.mikerecords.com/2014/03/kanuti-picture-project.html

Friday, August 28, 2015. Updated 8.28.2015. At 164 million acres Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge is about the size of Delaware; it provides crucial habitat for bird, mammal, and fish species. Kanuti has no designated trails, campsites, or public use cabins within its boundaries. Its huge and untouched; places like this are why we live here. If there is enough light to work and enough water to measure, we work in Kanuti nearly every month. Like the Prince William Sound Picture Project. Rock glaciers can b...
