the Can produces

Over the last week, some areas of the wasatch have received over 100 inches of some of the highest grade snow known to man. This time of year you gotta milk every storm because you never really know if this will be the last powder for the year. The canyons area has produced thousands of feet of deep untracked vertical fall line skiing for us this last week. Only busted out the camera a few times because it was so damn good!

birthday @ Pow Mow

On march 27th, my brothers and I celebrated our pops' 56th birthday at none other than powder mountain. My pop, like many utah skiers/boarders, he had never been to powder mountain. After a healthy serving of fresh pow last week (30in+) and bluebird skies slated for the old mans b-day, it was time he learned why we have been going there for the last 4 years. He learned pretty quickly why they call it Powder Mountain!

farming the pow at powder mountain is often times highly enjoyable.

a proper slope cut resulted in the entire chute getting flushed out with the debris running rather far down into the trees.

It would have been a bumpy ride had I taken the fall line down into the chute.

On another note, winter is over. I'm definitely looking forward to the journey in the spring. It looks like winter weather will stick around for awhile though. Look out for the Saguaro adventures coming this spring.

playing the flute

last weekend I took my pop up to northern utah for his first ever day of snowmobiling. Overall we had a fantastic day full of sunshine, powder, and $20k + turbo snowmobiles. Hit some nice fluted steeps as well....
