This is a story from in front of the camera. A story of two dudes, their skis, their Subarus, a snowy Montana pass, and a long weekend in June. Oh, and the worst touring pants in skiing.
There are lines that look cool, lines that have potential, and then lines that haunt you. This spring, in Glacier National Park, we skied down the latter. And we're pretty certain that we were the first to do so.
With bad weather and unstable snowpack at home in Montana, I packed up the car, headed west, and spent three weeks in the Ring of Fire. Six volcanic summits, one load of laundry, and who knows how many veggie burgers later, this is the saga.
With a warm winter lower down, the bike approaches on the east side of the continental divide here in NW Montana are coming into fine shape. So we loaded up our skis, and headed out to find some April powder and maybe a summit.
Back before the rains hit Northwest Montana, we did a bit of ski mountaineering and touring on a day of powder delights in the Swan Range of Montana.

If winter isn't coming to you, close the gap. Last week a friend and I headed up into the Montana high country to camp and find some early season turns.
