Well it was an interesting year across the board for the entire US, but I still had a phenomenal time. November, December, and January were all pretty horrible months, but things started to turn around in late Jan through mid april. My head injury in September made me take it easy so I got a lot more into touring than I did last year, but it worked out because it really opened up a LOT of possibilities for later in the season that panned out; and it whipped me into the best shape I've ever been in. I didn't get a pass until February 18th, and I didn't miss a thing. The High Traverse at Alta didn't open until mid february which is unheard of. Alta received 373" for the season through 4/25 which isn't a bad season at most areas, but it was kind of a shock coming off the powder high from last year's 800" season.

I just never really tried any spins this year. I usually end up backseat causing some shin irritation that doesn't quickly go away so I just didn't bother. Next year I am going to work on them and learn the ways

Was any of that terrain sift served? Badass either way though.

Most of it was lift served. If you can pick out the shots where I'm on Billy Goats or the snow is tracked it was inbounds
