2009
The Cottonwood Canyon’s recently had their biggest storms of the season. The last big cycle was 144 inches!! of course it didn’t stop after that with sun and snow continuing Utah is going to be epic until the bell rings. Most resorts will be closing with a base over 150 inches. Snowbird is planning on staying open until Memorial weekend-so hopefully all this snow will stick around! Brighton was untracked powder every day for 3 weeks and the Utah backcountry was deeeeeep and safe. Here’s some documenting of Utah’s last session.
The Flakes just kept coming
when the sun came out Little Cottonwood Canyon was in perfect shape
Carlo Travarelli was finding all the un-tracked snow at Snowbird
Jamey Parks stoked to have a 150 inch base at the Bird
Rachael Burks was happily stuck in Utah since her flight to Alaska was delayed
Carlo sending the classic "broom closet" at Snowbird
Tyler Knoles finds a nice one on North Baldy
The first one felt so good Tyler had to go back for another, North Baldy is definately a epicenter of perfect cliffs
Tyler celebrates with a baldy face shot
after an epic session at snowbird some time at Brighton seemed like a good idea
Rachael wanted to taste some Brighton powder
Julian found one of a thousand soft landings by Millicent lift
Jamey Parks
Rachael is stoked that you can always find a soft landing at Brighton
Julian enjoying some pillows
and more pillows
Even though all the resorts were firing, it was a perfect time to ski some lines that only fill in at the end of the season in the backcountry
Jamey checking out his line on Cardiac Ridge
and than sending it, making a turn over some serious exposure just right of the peak
a great line that Jamey just couldn't resist
Brant Moles made an appearance and did his signature straight run, lots of work for a few moments but he was stoked
plus Brant was probably the only person to ever ski Cardiac Ridge in a one piece neon orange snowmobile suite
Jamey seen here in Dry Fork Canyon, Nick Rice photo
Julian getting a good one in Dry Fork, Nick Rice photo
this was definately one of the highlights
Jamey still sending it after days and days of hiking and skiing, Nick Rice photo
Rachael still stoked her flight was delayed another day
Bridger probably got a few shots, nick rice photo
and he found a few pow turns in between shots
Julian was having so much fun he kept skiing after the sun went down
Home sweet home
Utah es muy bueno!
Yikes nice “turns ” on Cardiac … that face is no joke. Love the pics.
