Tour #1 for the Season

Forecast called for snow the day before my arrival to SLC. It snowed 8"+ and then two days later snowed another foot. Skiers made powder turns down Main Chute at Alta. I was too sketched out for that, so instead I parked at Grizzly Gulch, strapped on my gear and skinned up Albion Basin.

  1. Good job, Bro. It is nice to see snow at my favorite place. Even you had to ski some low-angle loving with a 'No" base. Wild how the base will be over 100 inches by mid-Jan. Will this be the year of the ROCKER, or do I get a Super-G set up? Be careful if you lose at Frolf in your home town. Soligully will be ready to ski POW POW and throw a disc.
