We decided on Solitude again today. Met up with brookbarrel, who rips by the way. It was pretty fun. They were reporting 2 inches but up top it was more and windblown in places so it felt more like 5 or 6. Visibility was good and it was snowing pretty hard at times but nothing too crazy. Brighton tomorrow for our last day! Hopefully it'll keep snowing between now and then.
This is our warmup run. I have other clips that are way better but I am wooing and sound ridiculous because I was so stoked, so I'll just save those for a final edit when I get back.

bummer we didnt run into each other...sorry bout the lack of puinctuality on my part. breakfast ran later than I would have liked. It was a banner day tho.
lots of old folks out, retirees and what not. They're all in a club called the FOG's and you can guess the initials. the logo is a yellow pteradactyl instead of an eagle.
whenever I needed courage to hit a run I'd see them and decide to try it.
the only black I did the entire trip was due to seeing a couple of them going down the rollercoaster on the lift line.

Nice meeting you guys and riding with you today. Utah gave me a really good first impression.Making pow turns that flew way overhead today was so fun!Here's a few more pics .Looking forward to seeing the video once its edited.
First tracks.
The stoke was high
The top of one of the choice lines of the morning. The slashes on those walls were ridiculous.
Looking forward to Brighton tomorrow before heading home and back to the real world.

Can't wait to take over where you guys leave off... reports are showing about a foot dump out there in the past 24 hrs and more to come throughout the night... does that seem about right?
And I'll be at Bird for three days this week, Slik.

yea its snowed about 10"-12" so far with a lot of wind transport. Last run at Alta down the nest was knee deep most of the way. Still dumping up here, and its the good stuff this time. Im not sure what % the snow is, but its very low density, the stuff would just hang in the air after a few turns
