Ben Steinberg and I decided to try the solo twin in avalanche IV this year. We had a wonderful start and then sailed into the mother of all holes and watched the fleet sail away from us… From there we stuck with it and had a great long sail out around Block Island, over the […]

Dave Simms and I made it up to NH back in late June. Dave was getting ready for a bigger trip and I’ve always wanted to do the presidential traverse. Our original plan was to do Mount Washington and maybe add on a few more miles if the weather allowed. We did our now typical […]

Went out to Castle Hill to watch the volvo boats come in last night. They were due around sunset but the wind was dying fast so I figured I’d go somewhere photogenic while waiting. Castle hill also has an added benefit of being able to see out to sea -vs- a much shorter view from […]

Catching up on the blog again… I was behind and then I had/got to travel for work and fun on several weekends in a row and then the hard drive on the computer went down (didn’t lose anything important but I had to take 2 weeks to get everything running again)… So yeah, I’m finally […]

Four two three four… What’s that? That’s how much vertical I was able to ski in one run Saturday. It’s also my personal record for single longest run ever for me, including when I lived out west. I was able to get up north for one last weekend of skiing with David Simms and David […]

It’s fun to look back at these pictures from January a month later… The last few pictures in this set are from our first snow or the “blizzard”. It seemed like a lot of snow then… But it’s a month later, it’s all still here, and it’s BURIED under about another foot or so of […]

Every year I sit down and make a “best of” post for my photography for the year. It’s been a great year and I’ve got a TON of images to choose from this year. Actually, I couldn’t narrow it down to just 12 so I’ve got a gallery at the bottom with ALL the highlight, […]

We had an amazing end to November here in the Jacobsen house! Thursday was Thanksgiving where we enjoyed an amazing meal with family. Friday was Nikki’s 37th b-day where we enjoyed a second turkey feast with my parents and hers as well as our good friend Ruleo from Antigua. We also did some major “Black […]

Nikki and I were lucky enough to make it out to Block Island in August. Both our parents took a kid and my parents were kind enough to loan us the motorboat. It was great to get some adult time and have some great conversations. We also had a nice run out to North Light […]

Finally made it up Mount Washington with Nikki! She and I haven’t been able to hike together since we lived in Montana! She’s been, I’ve been, just not together. So she and I put Mount Washington on the calendar for last weekend and finally made it! We made it to the summit via Lion’s […]
