SNOWBIRD, UT — 3 or 4 inch layer of fresh snow (with more falling). Just a hard charging ski day. Also explored new terrain. Three runs in North Baldy were awesome. I skied very aggressively today, which is to say that I skied very well despite the fairly difficult conditions (crusty, hard, terrible snow right underneath the new snow).

Skied Main Chute with Mark Deaver

ALTA, UT; SNOWBIRD, UT — Mark Deaver came to Salt Lake City this week to visit. He and I went skiing today at Snowbird. The conditions were excellent, the weather was nearly perfect, Snowbird was hosting the US Freeskiing Nationals on Silver Fox, and we even ran into Steve Wiechmann in the middle of the morning. We skied all over the mountain today--including Mount Baldy's Main Chute.
