Still no internet so I can only give you a little update from my phone.

Hit up pow mountain today. They haven't had a lot of fresh snow recently but it was still fun. When we pulled up I felt like I was pulling into Hawksnest. It just has that atmosphere. I loved it. Only Pow mtn has 7,000 acres and well...hawksnest doesn't.

We hiked way out some cat track for about 3/4 of a mile and finally dropped into some trees. Found some fresh, totally untouched pow.

I would love to see this place after even just a foot of fresh snow. From here on out every time I come to UT at least one day will be spent at Pow Mtn.

I get home Wed night just in time to see the the UNC/Puke game. So sometime after that I will be posting the videos I've shot as well as some pics.

Tomorrow it's all about the BIRD!

Ok, sorry it took so long to post pictures. So here we go....

Lift ride at the Canyons.





Top of 9990 at the Canyons.





Taking the J bar at Powder Mountain, on our way to hike out to find some fresh...





The view from my friends apartment...that's Bald Mountain at Deer Valley.





Park City's super pipe. I'll have to go to PC next time I'm out there.





Heading up to Powder Mountain.





Some views on the way to Powder Mountain





Stoked to be heading out to snowboard.





First time there and I fell in love with this place. Kinda reminds me of Hawksnest...well other than the fact that Powder Mtn has 7,000 acres and Hawksnest has not even close to that.









Heading home from Powder Mtn. This means that tomorrow at Snowbird will be amazing.







The BIRD! This place kinds scared the crap out of me. Loved it though.





Top of the Bird.





This place is amazing. Especially with 16" of fresh over night and blue bird skies.





Here is a video from the Canyons. I have one from Snowbird and I will post it when I get it all loaded.

Lol... "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn."



Nice edit. What kind of still camera were you using?

Thanks, I just got a Canon T2i. I wanted to get into photography and I love doing video, so that camera just made sense. For the video on this trip I used a GoPro.

Were you using the stock lens that comes with it? Nice wide angles you have... second video isn't working.

Sorry about that. The Snowbird video should work now.



Music, no that isn't the stock lens. I bought a fisheye lens to go with it.
