2nd Annual ADL Desert Canyon Fall Golf Mixer

Did He Sink It? Noonan!!!  Nothing could distract Matt Rudolph or anyone in the group from hitting long drives to Pound Town and sinking putts like leaky boats in the harbor at Goon Island. Yes my friends… fun was had. There were divots, a little cursing, a few soda pops and much laughter during our 2nd Annual Fall Golf Mixer. The weather was fantastic, and we are already planning the 3rd version for next year. See all the great photos and get this on your calendar.

Hunting The Big 5 in Engelberg

We returned to Engelberg like big game hunters hoping to bag the infamous 5 freeride runs – from the mighty Steinberg, to the fickle Laub, challenging Sulz, the rare hidden Steintäli and the challenging descent of the Galtiberg – the BIG 5 are written in bold on our freeride bucket list!

Engelberg is big. Chamonix-esque big. It’s 4-6K lift and tram served vertical opens up so much different terrain you need a season to explore it all. We had a great group of long time ADLers on this trip and many of these folks had been on multiple trips.

Japow DreamTrips 1 & 2 Photos/Stories

February is Japow month, because that’s when you typically have the best storm tracks. We came back to Japan in full force with two trips back to back.  We got a storm to line upon arrival… a welcomed ADL tradition. We experienced the full menu of Japow from deep days, with daily onsens, high balls, katsu, karagi, gyoza and our favorite little deviled egg sandwiches from Lawsons to blue bird days with empty resorts all to ourselves. Each week got a little bit of everything and the final days in Tokyo brought bright lights and big laughs.
