Oh…and a couple of flowers too.  Lonnie and Scottie agreed to be my victims up at Alta this evening, little did they know the insidious torment I had in store for them. Actually none of us knew just how vicious the little vampires were gonna be up there.  Someone could make a killing with a [...]

I rolled the dice on Monday night as the weather forecast was epic with 30″ plus forecast over the next 48 hours in Little Cottonwood Canyon.  Got a super deal on a room at the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird and wagered that I’d be better off not having to drive back and forth with 4-10″ [...]

Sat / Sun storm dropped a foot of fluff up LCC but the wind had it’s way with just about every damn flake.  The skies cleared, the sun shown and Andy Sabatier and I caught first tram at the Bird in hopes of rooting out any refugees from the gale.  A fast lap waaaaay out [...]

Yet another tough day in the life spent flitting around Alta with Kalen Thorien.  I’m not sure how I manage.

Largest overnight total of the season at Alta today and although it was a bit upside down it did not disappoint.  Too manky and socked in to shoot action but I snapped off a few frames pre and post shred.

Another tough one…blue skies, warm temps and the charming McKenna Peterson to rip around Snowbird with.  Woe is I.   Not much doing with the ski action until we get some snow but we managed to cause some trouble up on the upper tram dock where her new Orage duds could be seen luminescing from outer [...]

Meredith Riley and I spent the morning suffering through blue skies and untracked snow @ Alta / Bird in order to kill time until beer 30.  I’m not sure how we got through it but somehow we managed.  It was truly horrible.  I’m not sure what I’d do if everyday was like this.  Too much [...]

With over 7 feet of snow from last weeks parade of storms the famine morphed into a feast in a hurry.  Unfortunately that buffet was laid out on a very angry table and the mountains have been biting back with a vengeance.  Sadly we’ve lost 2 soul’s in the Wasatch to the White Dragon this [...]

Alta was reporting 6″ at 6 am but the radar was a green blob and it was snowing hard at the house @ 4900 ft.  Looked like an instant replay of Tuesday’s lotto jackpot.  What ensued is the stuff of lore.  Over the head choke on it blower pow.  Ridiculous.  Met up with Carston Oliver, [...]

Ahhhhhh. Sigh. Smile. After 2 weeks of high pressure inversion smog hell and an utterly brutal snow pack the skies opened and the Cottonwoods did their best to drain every last molecule of moisture from the clouds.  A collective sigh of relief and a massive long overdue exhalation burst forth from everyone in attendance. Pow.  [...]
