After an Epic, Uber, Steezy, Face-Shot week we were all Totally Stoked!

PBR, Mickeys, Becks, Bigfoot barley wine and lots of other unhealthy substances. Thanks to all for a kick azz week/weekend. You all know who you are if you can remember after intoxicating our brains for a week. Until our next adventure. Booze, sunshine, snowball fights, snow bunnies and of course friends chillaxin' in the West. EPIC!!!!!!!!!

Sill freshies and little Bluebirds everywhere singing!

Bo and Mike visited the Wasatch this week. We started at Brighton on Fri and then Solitude for the remainder of the weekend. I don't undertsand how there is still fresh lines to be found. Days after any accumalation and plenty of sunshine it's still fluffy and untouched. Hiking EGP 3X in a row allowed us to shred bottomless fluff on Bomb's Away! Honeycomb Canyon still has its fair share of lines also. No Man's Land was a treat and today we ventured further to upper Crystal Point along the ridge and left two tracks down. No one has been there for many days. I DON'T UNDERSTAND but good for us!

Ever wonder what the inside of a snowboard looks like? Check out the dragonfly core with opposing strips of wood grain...pretty cool.

G Man takes a break from the city life in mid-Feb. Thanx for visiting. It was great having you here!

NYSKI at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Twin Lakes Pass

Chillaxin' at the Roundhouse Grill AKA "The Beach"

Look closely as he takes the "Monster" Fries AIR off the cliffs in Crystal Point. He stuck it clean.

His favorite part of visiting Utah. Hiking 30 minutes after a 2 minute run. Baking in the sun.

Twin Lakes to Pioneer Ridge Tour - 2/16

Forgot to post these after Utah. Me, Frankie & Frankie, 6-7hr tour starting at Solitude's Highway to Heaven gate and pushing through down Twin Lakes, skinned to Brighton, boot packed Militant Peak, skinned up under Wolverine Bowl and made it to the top of Seagull Chute. I really need a touring set-up, alpine gear gets heavy... I'm tele-envious!!!

SG didn't make it due to broken hand syndrome, hate when that happens.

Seagull Chute up top in the distance

Can you see the Seagull?

Tribute to the other Graz

What a great season, did you get your 1,000,000 vert? I heard you were heading back to the east so I laid down some tribute turns for you today at Berthoud. There were more up top, but wasn't able to get a snap of it...


Frankie "8" Steeze:

Thanx for the EPIC season Bro! What an awesome stretch we had!

My Bro's season has unoficially ended. He is back home for the golf season. Hopefully he gets the bug and can sneak a few more turns in the Wasatch this season. What a season this was for him. Powder everyday. Shhhhh! Solitude is a "family" mountain.
Hey bro, thanx for a great season. It won't be the same here w/out you. Till our next turns. Good Luck this golf season! ~~SG
