Just waiting around the SLC airport for a flight to San Fransisco so I can pick up a visa and then fly to India in search of some good snow. No, it’s not as random as it sounds, and the forecast is actually calling for two feet of snow in northern India, so hopefully I stumble across some much needed powder in the next couple of weeks. Below are a few pics from the last few days. I’ll see if I can find some internet and keep you all updated on my whereabouts for the next couple weeks…
Landings
After a stetch of storms subsided here in Utah friends Kyler Cooley, Sammy Wolf, 4bi9’s AJ Dakoulas, and I headed into the backcountry to some familiar spots. We had intentions of skiing a few lines early in the morning then moving down to another zone to shape a lip off a little cliff. Sadly we didn’t get to do more than shred some fun, but thin lines that Marc Frank made famous a few years ago due a rock taking a bite out of Kyler’s arm. But on a good note, it’s was nothing a few stitches couldn’t fix so expect more backcountry updates to come. I’m heading out with Saga’s Jordan Harper tomorrow to work on an edit for your viewing pleasures so keep an eye peeled. Until then, hope you’re all getting plenty of shred in.
Pick n’ Shovel opened today at Park City and everyone was there to have fun on the 5 pack jump line and assortment of rails and boxes. A handful of Saga riders and friends showed up to see who really had the best twister spread.
4bi9 runs train through the park, Euler and Steve are what, 6ft apart?
Euler switch misty, Goblin at the lip
This is an interesting/confusing shot and they didn’t hit each other, how, I do not know

I spent most of the day standing on the fourth deck in the jump line, still camera around the neck and video camera on the tripod, things got out of control but I did manage to get some passing riders and friends on their way up the lift.

Pete Alport took this pretty sweet shot of me at Bachelor with his Point and Shoot Camera. It is a Nose Tappy, really fun to do, just make sure your bindings are pretty tight on these little guys or you are going Knee first into (hopefully not Metal) whatever your jibbing.
I wanted to post this video of Brady Perron, he is skiing backwards alot, which is awesome, He is also wearing my favorite combo from last season, it is eggnog pants and purps jacket.
