Winter is back... again!

Last weekend brought Utah more snow.  I’m happy for many reasons that the season has finally kicked in.  It’s nice to get the turns in now.  Plus, it means less drought this summer. Win win.  

This is my favorite drop in Rock Gardens.  You creep out into the rock face that is skiers left of the main chute.  Then you get this lined up.  It’s about an 8-10’ drop into a mini chite that then dumps into the main chute.  I was able to chomp off on it twice with no other tracks around.

16" of Freshies for Presidents Day 2018

Edan and I woke early to get up the canyon before it was too late.  With the increasing traffic at Brighton, this means leaving Salt Lake no later than 7:30.  We did and the snow was fresh.

Evergreen Shred

At least here in Utah, the snow has been sparse.  Brighton stands at about 160” for the year with the Milly bowl yet to open.  With the lack of snow, a bunch of rock features are exposed making for a unique terrain park.  Yesterday we got about 2" of fresh and ended up lapping Evergreen the whole day.  He are a few friends of the farm sending it.

Restarted

Over Thanksgiving Ben Farrell and I met up with the rest of our family on Cape Cod.  It was a special gathering as I met his son Wendall (Wendy).  I sense much adventure in him, kind of like his dad.  Yesterday I took a few runs with Torrey and we chatted Ravens and Animal Farm for a minute.  Maybe it is time to restart this blog.  I miss seeing my friends (we live in different places) and this blog helps keep us together.  I hope everyone's season's start with a pow bang.  -Rich
