After an awesome trip, the crew is on their final leg of their expedition — heading home. Thanks to all of the folks who have followed us on our expedition down the River of Doubt! We really couldn’t do any of this without the support of our friends, family and… Read the rest
Having just had an amazing day of early season powder, Kyle, Dan and myself were itching to get back up to look for more. This time, we wanted a different destination to vary things up a bit. Curious of what Rainier might have to offer, and noticing the telemetry reading… Read the rest

I went out with the staff of KapohoKine Adventures on the Big Island Zipline Tour, a wonderful tour group who pride themselves in showing visitors (and curious locals) the lay of the beautiful Hawaiian land while… Read the rest
