Undisclosed areas today

This is the pillow line in BCC. Undisclosed where abouts



Liz dropping the pillows


There is always a challenge involved when you ski a line in spring. This is me crossing back over Big Cottonwood creek



Earlier in the day I hiked into the cave in Honeycomb. Another undisclosed area. C-ROCK

Looking out the cave at Black Forest with my Blowers standing in the snow

Stormy skiing on March 29, 2009

Secret scree hut for safety meetings


Wind gusting on EGP ridge


This is what 3" an hour looks like. Definitely an Arc'Teryx Proshell day

Soligully brings the snow to the Wasatch

He came to the Wasatch and it dumped 26 inches.  We started off skiing at Deer Valley on day numero 1 and hit Solitude for the remainder.  On Sunday we traversed out the highway gate and did a quick tour into Silver Fork where we practiced and honed in our avi skills.  After we tested a slope and triggered a wind slab we proceeded to ski the chute.  Also my longest cont' vert run of the year from Shot 23 left down to Woodlawn had me trembling with excitement after skied and looking up at my tracks.
A few new food choices, a night up at the Inn, plenty of Pow and a new resort to add to the list it turned out to be an awesome quick visit.


Thanks for the great time and visit bro!

St. Ciox 09 - Sailing Trip

Took a trip to St. Croix. Sailed for two weeks around the carribean on Cole's boat. Amazing time that I'll never forget. Had great weather, ran into one storm (scariest night of my life), visted a couple island and lived off what the sea had to offer ... and rum. Finished 8 big bottles of rum in 7 days, I can now drink like a sailer. More stories to come...

USA Bowl on Cinco di Marzo

This here is my new way of making turns.  Craig Gordon would be proud!


I think it is impossible for me to make the turns that these guys did on the looker's right.  I like our style better!  we know how to take up the whole run with only 3 skiiers.  Then again I set the skintrack on the right the whole way.



A quick experimental video of early March.  All video is filmed with a point and shoot.

Wet activity

Warm temperatures allowed this natural wet slide to brake and carry everything in its path.  This pic was taken yeasterday on the South side of Timpanogos on the way up towards Robert's Horn.
