White Rim: No Exit
INEZ [struggling and laughing]: But, you crazy creature, what do you think you’re doing? You know quite well I’m dead. ESTELLE: Dead? [She drops the knife. A pause. INEZ picks up the knife and jabs herself with it regretfully.] INEZ: Dead! Dead! Dead! Knives, poison, ropes–all useless. It has happened already, do you understand? Once [...]
Ever On and On
The Road goes ever on and onDown from the door where it began.Now far ahead the Road has gone,And I must follow, if I can,Pursuing it with eager feet,Until it joins some larger wayWhere many paths and errands meet.And whither then?

White Rim TT V.2

The Bombs Bursting in Air
As the howitzer shells dropped onto the northern slopes of Little Cottonwood Canyon, we dropped powder shots on the south side. Dug, Mark, Aaron, Ben and Nate. Ben dropped a cornice into the chute atop Scotties Bowl. Which on its own is not that remarkable. The front flip he did off that cornice, skied out [...]
Wet Days
We wandered a little today, sort of like the Children of Israel. I blame the lack of sunlight and the heavy snowfall. Oh and Dug. Apparently, even though he was not in attendance, he was cause for our navigational confusion. And to think, I had the GPS sitting in the car the whole time. We [...]
xXc Magazine
Season one, Issue one of xXc Magazine is now available. It is the brainchild of Jason Mahokey, outstanding author of The Soiled Chamois. The magazine focuses on ultra-endurance, solo, and epic mountain bike adventures. I was able to contribute an article and a couple photos to the project and I am pleased with how those [...]
