Hi All,
I have moved my blog over to my host site so that it better integrates from my home page. The easiest way to follow me from here on out is on Twitter where I will post a link to all my blog posts.
Otherwise here’s the new page link: http://www.robaseltine.com/#!blog/ccr6
Thanks,
Rob

Going to start doing some micro video clips for realtime action. Here’s my first go at it. Took 3 Laps on High Boy over at Alta. The sun came out as we ascended the first ridge and just kept shining all day.
This is a great read and makes you rethink your decisions. Don’t let your dreams fade with the days that go by. I really connected with this as I just finished watching McConkey. McConkey was easily one of the largest influences in my childhood that helped me develop my own dreams. You know when he left us he certainly had no regrets. You can get the movie here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/mcconkey/id699467965

Two years ago I had a chance to get up to Grand Targhee on the border of Idaho and Wyoming. It had snowed over 2 feet the day prior and was crystal clear blue skies over the weekend when I was there. Shit was sick.
When I heard that my friends at 4FRNT skis we’re heading up there to shoot for next year’s movie, this was an opportunity I could not miss. On day one conditions were pretty much the same as the last time I was there. Fresh snow and plenty of blue sky. This time around we had a crew of a half-dozen and a cameraman to capture the action. The team consisted of Austin Ramaley, Thayne Rich, Max Mackenzie, Gary McKenzie, Nick Greener, Cody Barnhill and myself. Shit went off.
Mad props to Thayne for throwing down some of the biggest tricks off cliffs I’ve seen with my own eyes. He was easily taking some 720s and flat spins 50 to 60 feet deep. Nick crushed an air to straight line double and Gary sent a pretty diesel sized air as well. Cody always getting extra sideways on his 3 and then we capped the day with a hot tub session and watched the full moon rise over the Grand Teton.
Day two we ventured out on snowmobiles into the backcountry. The mountains had gotten socked in with clouds and light snow so pillow lines were ideal. We found a couple of great untouched shots after about an hour or two getting higher in the Alpine. It wasn’t exactly perfect but still a ton of fun. Big shout out to Max and Gary for showing us around and giving us a place to crash. Thanks again
That place.
Jackson is that place you want to be when you think of winter, mountains, snow, beer, music, and friends. They pretty much have everything except women. Which is probably a good thing because there so much else to do anyways, who needs the distraction!?
Anyways, finally had some ambition to get up there a bunch this season. At only a four and half hour drive from Salt Lake City it’s a shame I hadn’t been doing this more often. Hope you enjoy the pics from the adventure!
