I got 3 great days of skiing/boarding here in utah.

Powder Mountain: on friday, I tele-ied at Powder Mountain. It is up by Ogden, north of SLC. It is not a big high profile resort, which is something I really liked about it. It is a strange place as the resort is spread over a series of drainages and has some really nice steeps but also has many long cat-tracks down the bottom of the drainages. It was a perfect place for me on teles as it had tons of not-so-steep powder skiing. I had a great time.

The saw the best slogan on a t-shirt in the ski shop, “I have used up all my sick days, so I am calling in dead”.

Snowbird: Had a great day on Sunday both boarding and tele-ing with Mark. He was a great guide who knows the mountain like the back of his hand. We had ~1ft of fresh powder. I have to say it, “it is the lightest stuff on earth”. I was constantly amazed at the Utah powder. I had a big white beard from all the face shots. The picture above is me crashing and burning for the camera late in the afternoon.

Brighton: This was the only place where I brought my camera. It was a leisurely day. Not a cloud in the sky and fantastic sunshine skiing. I found some good powder in the trees and just went fast on the groomers. I took a few pictures around 3pm. Check them out here, here, here, and here

Sadly, I missed Alta again. I was planning on hitting it on Tues, but the brake repair kept me in the city. Oh well, I guess I will just have to go back.
