I'll keep this short and sweet. I enjoyed four great days at Alta. Thursday we got 9 inches of fresh and I followed skiing rules around off anything he would jump off of until this lowlander got demolished on the way to the apron. Unluckily I only have the first two runs of that day before the GoPro was full. SR and I went out a few nights and pounded hammes including an epic Thursday night St. Pirates Day party that ended with an after-party in Rustler employee housing. All in all it was an AWESOME trip.



A few pics from the top of the High T



















From the lift

















A nice chute I skied in the High boy-Eagle's nest area







Of course you never can get perspective quite right cause it was steep as f



































weak POV edit...so sad I don't have thursday on film, but there was no way I was going back in and missing part of a nice spring pow day! Also I made sure to get in all the nice yard sales but y'all would get to see at least 5 more if I had that thursday footy. ;)



(my favorite part is 3:20, only time gopro actually gives perspective...)

Here is a pic of a drop I've been looking at for a while. The crowds hit hard on sunday and backside was beat by 10am when we got up there. The drop is in East Greely I believe and I haven't seen anybody hit it, or any tracks off it. The now was deep and soft enough that it was good to go even though it was tracked. The takeoff is the obvious launch point on the top of the cliff. It is about 25'. I didn't hit it with much speed so it could be a good bit big bigger. Its a very sendable drop on a pow day.

















3rd run on Thursday (1st run with teh walker).

LCC has been getting the biz... wish I was out there.



I rode a board just over the ridge of Baldy on the Alta side... it was a good day. Actually it was probably more towards Keyhole now that I think about it...
