Kings Beach Rollercoaster 2018~Saturday, June 2

May 30, 2018 by Mike Tebbutt 1 Comment

Silver State 50 Mile DNF ~ Listening to the Body

May 31, 2016 by Mike Tebbutt Leave a Comment

The best advice I have ever received by a doctor, my 20+ year Chiropractor/Healer Dr. Nathan Cohen in Tahoe City, is “Listen to your body.” This was his response to my questioning if I should take off any time off from riding the mountains after dislocating my knee after getting tangled up with a tree […]

Wild Ride on the Kings Beach Rollercoaster Half Marathon

June 28, 2015 by Mike Tebbutt 1 Comment

Lake Tahoe Ski Cirumnavigation

February 28, 2015 by Mike Tebbutt Leave a Comment

Author’s note: The following piece was taken from two posts on The Backcountry’s Forum that I wrote  back in 2006 and 2007, detailing  my and Sam Skrocke’s second and third attempts of the first bivy-less ski circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe via a high route. We finally succeeded on our third attempt in a little under 61 […]

March Recipe ~ Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse

February 28, 2015 by Mike Tebbutt Leave a Comment

January 26, 2015 by Mike Tebbutt Leave a Comment

Moose Goo ~ January Recipe of the Month

January 4, 2015 by Mike Tebbutt 1 Comment

My wife and I learned this tasty recipe when gifted some much needed extra calories while hiking the John Muir Trail a few years back. This is a great alternative to gels and energy bars, providing plenty of carbs(simple and complex) and protein/fat for your longer outings! You can make this recipe in whatever quantity […]
