Cypress Peak? Tricouni Peak? Make That Blackcomb Pre Season Instead

13 November 2011

The very same bluebird weekend that G3's President Oliver Steffen and the MEC boys were getting the goods on Brohm Ridge, G3 ambassadors Mike & Andy Traslin were busy finding their own patch of powder elsewhere. But where to go? Cypress Peak? Tricouni Peak? ...Read more
