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.

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.

Surprise April Powder

After a year of very little snow, compared to normal, it seemed the season was pretty much wrapped up last week. It hit 80F. It was nice out. Then bam, weather system. The temp drops to the 40s in the valley. It's raining. Fast forward 2 mornings and I'm at Brighton with my brother Austin, who is in town. We're off Wren Hollow in the secret trees and it's over a foot deep, and bottomless. No scraping, all fluff. It was an awesome day. Thank you weather, for a couple more turns!
