Mark Welgos’ Late Season Skiing Edit

Powder Panic

Resorts and ski areas across the country have experienced an interesting phenomenon this season: powder panic. Now, don't get me wrong, skiers and snowboarders have always had that mob-mentality, freshies-frenzy when it comes to new snow and chairlift lines. People have been known to shove, push, pole and also to be shoved, pushed, poled in the mess that is the rush for first chair and tha...

The Bitch is Back

La Nina has been a cold nasty lady this winter...well, at least for the shredheads in B.C burrowing through their streets en route to the snow encrusted mountaintops. We in Aspen have had it lucky. We haven't had the slightest issue with parking in town or with having to decide if the furnace room or the fireplace is the best way to dry your ski gear. Yep, instead of shred outfit maintenance p...

Saddle Up with Pat and Tats: Episode 1

The Pat and Tats Show is back on program, and we've kicked it off with our first season of Saddle Up with Pat and Tats, presented by Tecnica/Blizzard. With minimal snowfall this early season, Pat's dreams have been full of powder shredding and good times from last season's escapades. Throw in some dirt skiing and you can call it early season! Watch this and pray for snow...it's time to shred ...

Quick edit courtesy of fellow Backcountry.com and Aspen/Snowmass team athlete, Chris Erickson. What a series of beautiful, bluebird days! So much fun out there in Aspen shredding with an amazing group of rippers. Keeping me on my toes and wind in my hair!

Trew Crew Posse Day on Ajax

Had a great time the other day with our local Trew Crew: John Pew, Casey Vandenbroek, Pat Sewell, JF Bruegger, Colter Hinchliffe, Parker Olson and more. It snowed 1/4in overnight and we took advantage of the freshies with slash-turn faceshots on every run. With this group, everyday is a powder day.

Mark Welgos and Adam Moszynski, valued members of the AspenFreeride family, put together a little edit of their exploits from this past spring season here in Aspen, CO. As Black Diamond Equipment ambassadors, their edit is heavy on backcountry skiing, with some snowmobile and touring access to a few of the famed peaks in the Roaring Fork Valley.

With descents from 14′ers such as Castle Peak, Pyramid Peak, and the Maroon Bells, these guys put their gear to use. Also included is some footage of the raucous event that is the Aspen Highlands closing day party. Neon one-pieces and vintage shades abound, as Welgos makes his way through the grooving masses. Party girls, couloirs, and two-stroke…nothing beats a spring in the Rockies!
