All Star Matt Johnson or "The Mutiny has Begun!"


A rare visitor. First things first, I showed Matt some of our aquatic fauna.

This trout's first Montana angler and Matt's first Idaho trout

Landed, photographed and released in seconds.


On day two Matt, our new friend Lloyd and I skied from the South summit of Breitenbach, however, I had no camera on that day. Matt and I then committed to summiting Mt Borah and skiing the West face on Sunday, which we crushed with devastating efficiency!
At the start of Chicken Out Ridge


On the ridge proper

Where's that mid-mountain chalet? 

More shredding on the lower West Face

Fist raised in defiance of the rotten snow, Matt Johnson approaches the water ice crux.
