Thanks once again for visiting. If any one knows how to add slideshows to the blog let me know. I had a handful more pictures but can only post five at a time, so if anyone has any ideas... Today starts with a picture that reminds us all of how powerful mother nature can be. This season has seen a terrible snowpack. Many, many avalanches have occurred. This one happened on Wasatch Mountain which sits across the valley from the ski area. This was the biggest avalanche I have ever seen evidence of. The width well over 1000 ft. Basically the whole mountain slid. Insane.
Just for fun, a quick wintery look at summer. Here, is the view from the green, looking back towards the tee, on hole 16.




We were blessed with a lovely week full of lots of terrific snow. Some of the best turns of the season were to be had. 3 ft over the weekend; followed by a few inches every night for a few days after. Bluebird skies everyday to boot! Here Andy shows off his tele prowess on a sick slack-country line.
Mali loves the snow. Snowballs could be thrown at her for days and she wouldn't stop jumping for them. She, like myself, has a terrible addiction to that frozen, white, powder. This was taken on our walk to the village core the other day. It gives you a good idea of the depth of the snow we have right now. Looks like heaven! At least one part, I also have a feeling there is beaches where it never rains, where the reef causing the perfect break is too deep to get tangled in. A place where the singletrack is always tacky. A place where the fish are always biting and the rapids always flowing. A place where the beer flows like wine...
This little gem sits on the side of the XC ski trail by my house. Looks awful fun. Might just have to posthole up and hit it, eh?

Thanks Mom and Dad


My wonderful parents got me a new camera for my birthday, so I can now post photos again. Here's a few to get started. Hopefully with many more to follow. Here's the cat doing his best to be annoying.






Here's Mali, thinking the camera might just taste like chicken.














And a pile of boards waiting for some wax.
