Skiing in Utah
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 7:13 pm
Here are some pics from my last trip to Utah.
Dave was emailing me the weather forecasts all week. By the time I decided to make the trip the only flight I could get arrived at 11:30 pm. We were on the road the next morning at 7:00 am and heading to Snowbasin for Michaela's race.
Michaela was late in the bottom of the course and missed a gate. There was too much snow and the second race was cancelled.
Sunday we headed up to Snowbird. It had snowed quite a bit and was storming pretty hard all day. We skied little cloud in the morning and I couldn't tell which way I was moving, major vertigo. In the afternoon we hit Gad chutes and got some chest deep powder.
I did a half day on Monday. The canyon was closed in the morning due to slides but we got up to the mountain by 10:00. Most of the lifts were closed because the liftees weren't able to get up the canyon or because of superbowl hangovers. I got to take several runs down door number two right below gadzoom. I inhaled some explosive residue from a grenade that was tossed from the lift. :pukeright:
Thanks for the great time Dave!
