Please tell me you're selling the Mediocre Amateur hats, because I will gladly shell out my hard money for one and proudly wear it every where. Awesome and entertaining video even if it was miserable. You can't have adventures without the risk of failure or disaster. My two young sons will be happy to see this, they've been asking if y'all have put out a new video. They love to watch them. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Nice work boys--bummer the conditions weren't better, but you never know until you go, especially to a remote place like the Deep Creeks. I skied Ibapah with a group of friends a couple years ago and we had WAY more snow than what y'all had. . We were able to ski right off the summit and had pretty good soft snow.

Hiked Ibapah and spent the night over Labor Day a few years ago. Too bad you did not sign the book in the ammo can at the top - assuming you could not find it in the snow. Great mountain range, but could not imagine doing it in skis. That is some serious work - good job!

Been about 10 years since I have visited the Deep Creek Mountains. Beautiful range in the middle of the desert. I actually caught some fish in the, few, upper mountain streams. Great video, I would bet only about 20% of the people in Utah even know where the range is.

Blake! So glad to see you having Danny's back. Or the other way around. Old folks must live the active life through you two because you are the ultimate in adventures. Love having you be the guinea pigs for any potentially dangerous activity.

Very realistic - the intrepid duo. For moderate slope wet grabby snow use Klister. Apply it and light buff it backwards - slows perfectly for the descent and prevents complications like 12: 24. The total encrustation 5: 04 is typical with skins.

I've just been randomly selecting from your excellent video library, enjoying them all. Don't know if it's just luck but a pattern has emerged for the one likable fellow: Doesn't sleep, feels sick, bonks. He's like me! I'm rooting for him.

Oh my goodness. After looking at about fice of your (awesome) videos, do you also at least sometimes have some type 1 fun? Looking at this I really appreciate all the bad ski touring conditions I have had in the Alps so far: .

Great video and that was a real slog. I had to laugh when you said it was icy, skiing on the east coast we have a different definition of icy. Either way that was a beat down. Did Blake own the lousy skiing trip, its all good.

This activity was very similar to a sport called skiing, though performed at a slower pace and with much less snow. In all seriousness, I enjoyed this video far more than the usual neck deep, blower pow movies out there.

I tried to hike Ibapah with my friend Jeff after camping at the trailhead, grilling steaks, and drinking way too much. Hiking at altitude with a horrible hangover is no bueno. I made it no further than the saddle.

This video of you three on Ibapah reminds me of how I felt on North Schell. I was glad I did it but man, I have never been so tired of talus before. Sometimes the mountain just knocks the stuffing out of you.

A superb sufferfest. Loved the comment that this adventure would encourage someone never to go skiing ever again. Great to see you keeping a sense of humor in the face of (sufferance) adversity!

Funny dudes. fun to watch. I once drove out to Ibapah myself with a friend to just check it out for potentially hunting for deer. Fun to see you tackle it. we left and decided to hunt elsewhere.

Any time I drive past some obscure piece of trash peak I look over to the ridge line and figure there is a 10% chance you are there somewhere puking your guts out. Great work as always!

man that looked awful! You three should come back in the early summer and dominate it in a quick trail run or something. Maybe link up a few other peaks in the Deep Rocks to make it worthwhile

That looked rough, but do you know what the real hell is? It is sitting in a office cubicle and watching a video of you guys putting first tracks all over my mountains! :)

Q: Who calls in sick when they are actually sick and then drives 4 hours at 3: 50 am to go backcountry skiing on two inches of snow?
A: Mediocre Amateurs.

I have to leave my house at 3: 30am every morning for work. Everyday I ask myself the same question. Who are all these criminals driving at this time of day?
