Def in my top 3 crashes
Ted Talk below š
I take far fewer crashes these days, but the crashes I do take tend to be pretty spectacular. As someone thatās calculated to a fault, anytime I make an error I canāt help but (over?) analyze it. In that vein, hereās a play by play of what went wrong here. Thereās probably some pretty good life takeaways too š¤
Before dropping I made some critical mistakes. First, I didnāt take the time to really look at the line as I felt, by Alaska standards, it was pretty straight forwardāstay on top of the spine and watch out for sluff. I figured once I was off the spine and away from my sluff I was home free. In all honesty I didnāt even give the run out a good lookā¦we were well in to the trip and I was feeling pretty confident.
Next, @myshellparker, who I have tremendous respect for, warned me about the runout in no uncertain termsā¦which I promptly ignored. That snow report is always pretty crucial and I think I discounted it as I knew the meat of my line was well above the run out, but that didnāt make that info irrelevant.
Dropping, I really had one concern, getting taken out by my sluff. However, the most threatening problem doesnāt give you an excuse to ignore other obstacles. Once skiing I realized the sluff was a non-issue and, damn was that skiing fun. That said, in my mindās eye it felt straightforward and not particularly exciting by ski-film standards, so I figured if I straight lined out the bottom it would add some pizazz (and boy did it!). And that was the biggest mistake: making a new plan on the fly without really considering a new set of hazards.
Worse yet, it was one of those plans that once it started, there was no stopping it. I was set in a course with no outs. At one point I did consider trying to slam on the brakes, but I was going so fast I think it would have been more dangerous to try to stop. Essentially I forced myself into a position with one possible outcome, which is pretty much the opposite of calculated.
But if you canāt be a good example, at least be a fantastic warning š.

Everyone loves a treasure huntā¦
Nearly 90 years ago Bradford Washburn and Robert Bates abandoned a gear cache remote in the Yukon in their attempt to make the first ascent of Mount Lucania.
āWhat it grieved Brad most to leave behind was his large-format Fairchild F-8 aerial camera, which exposed five-by-seven-inch negatives, the first of a series of heavy and expensive apparatuses with which Washburn would capture his matchless aerial images of the mountains of Alaska and the Yukon,ā wrote David Roberts in his 2002 book, Escape from Lucania.
While no climbing party had ever reported finding it, most people speculated that the cache had fallen into one of the numerous crevasses on the Walsh Glacier.
But what if it didnāt?
Excited to (finally) share this story with the world Memorial Day weekend at @mountainfilm. š

We brought @griffpost and @bigairmare to Chattanooga for a behind-the-scenes look at one of our sock factories, a little time with the people behind the product, and a sneak peek at what weāve got cooking next.
We can confidently say that the future is looking pretty good šš»

Most lost-and-found claims donāt require a glacier expedition.
For our first preview inside Issue 53.1, weāre digging into the search for Washburnās lost cache. In 1937, Bradford Washburn left camera equipment on the Yukonās Walsh Glacier. Eighty-five years later, Griffin Post and a team of riders and scientists went looking. Griffinās writing takes you along for the harsh realities of searching a massive glacier, offering a welcome escape from the realities of your own life.
Take the long way through the story. Pick up the brand-new edition of POWDER Magazine at the link in our bio. āļøāš„

I used to take elementary school field trips to the @museumofscience. This is a full circle moment for me, coming back to show a film we made about Bradford Washburn, who established the museum and was one of the world's greatest explorers. Join us for The Lost Cache, a special screening and filmmaker conversation at the Museum of Science this Tuesday.
In 1937, Bradford Washburn left a cache of equipment, including his Fairchild F-8 aerial camera, on the Walsh Glacier. More than 87 years later, skier Griffin Post and a team of skiers, scientists, and explorers head into the Yukon to see what remains.
After the film, stay for a conversation with Griffin Post , myself, and Drew Holt.

Lucky enough to work with @thenorthface who enlisted the help of @nolsedu to educate their athletes on wilderness medicine.
It had been a minute since Iād taken a WFR and I always thought āitās back there somewhere.ā Turns out I forgot a lot, not to mention the updates to curriculum and best practices that have happened over the last decade or so.
Having been on a handful of rescues, it gets real pretty quick and the only way to overcome that initial panic is practice and repetition. Thanks again to The North Face and NOLS for taking the time to help all of us be more prepared members of the backcountry community. š
Strongly recommend taking a WFR or WFA if the opportunity comes up as I canāt speak highly enough about the confidence this course and the instructors instilled in me. š

If youāre going to fail, at least fail originally.
Heading into another winterāand years of doing thisāthe thing Iām most proud of isnāt a particular line, trip, or film. Itās that Iāve tried to keep doing things I havenāt done before.
Donāt get me wrong, Iāve repeated plenty of trips others have done, skied plenty of lines others have skied, and followed plenty of literal and figurative tracks. But Iāve made a concerted effort to bring something original to them, too. Sometimes that has worked. Plenty of times Iāve failed spectacularly.
Coming up with new ideas is hard not because everything has been done, but because our brains are lazy. We naturally look for the shortest path to a desired outcome. On a small scale, these are heuristicsāthe mental shortcuts we use every day. On a larger scale, theyāre the trips and lines.
Fundamentally, theyāre the same thing: following a map.
And maps are incredibly useful. But they also have a way of limiting your imagination to whatās already on them.
To be fair, a new experience to you is still a new experience, and thereās absolutely nothing wrong with that. But Iād argue thereās something different about trying something when you genuinely donāt know the outcome. Itās the difference between solving a puzzle and creating the puzzle, then trying to solve it.
The latter comes with a much higher chance of failure.
Iāve spent a lot of days skiing terrible snow, walking in circles, chasing ideas that went nowhere, getting shut down by weather, realizing something was impossibleāor, occasionally, realizing it was just a bad idea to begin with.
But those failures have become some of the parts of my career I value most. Because at least there was a question at the beginning that I didnāt already know the answer to, even if that answer was a resounding, ānope.ā
After all the years, Iām increasingly convinced there are still plenty of blank spots on the map...And if you donāt think there are, maybe you just need to redefine what you mean by a map.
Or a blank spot.
.
Anyway, hereās a mix of success and failures over the years.
