Telemark skiing

At Red Scaffold my cousins Gabriel, Josh, Tristan and I ride bikes. Gabriel and I wrap ropes on our back tires to create traction like chains on the rear tires. Consequently, I think the ropes work well on ice and snow, you don’t slide around on the slippery ice and can move well in the snow. My cousin Gabriel and I go through mountainous snow drifts and the ropes help enormously, so we don’t spin out. Last year we wrecked a lot while riding our bikes because the ice was like glass, causing us…

Western Cordillera After nearly 720 km of walking, I’ve arrived at one of the highest points in the Western Cordillera. My legs and back are sore from climbing the steep and twisting mountains, while my entire body is frozen from the ice and snow. But the sight I see now is definitely worth it. Everywhere, all of it, is beautiful. The mountains I see are the very jewels of nature, hardly affected by the booming forces of erosion. These are colossal proofs of the Western’s Cordillera’s status as…

Well in order for you to understand the story, we need to start from the beginning. It was a sunny day in Park City, Utah. Fresh snow fell the morning before and it was a perfect…
