Utah

Well it's officially winter here in Utah. We have not had the kind of snow that past years have brought us, but it's still real good. Last week brought us a storm that produced 30+ inches of light and fluffy powder. Alta went off with many over head face shots. On days like these, I love cruising the resort with my friends. Everyone is riding such a natural high it's like we are all drunk with energy. In usual fashion, the storm rolled on through and left us with bluebird skies and great backcountry touring conditions. I snapped these two photos while out skiing. The first is of a couloir in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Finding the entrance was a little sketchy, but once in the chute, it was one of those runs you feel totally satisfied with after. Pizza and beers were the call after that day. The second picture was from two days ago. This is the Emma ridge that looks down into Alta. The snow was like velvet and we had a fun descent. Guess what? It's snowing as I write this, so it's time for me to cut this short and go make some turns.
