Winter (April?!) Wonderland @ Solitude, UT

30″ of snow overnight. In April. Enough said. Enjoy the photos (in and around SLC & Solitude Ski Resort).

Solitude, UT April 6, 2010

The video below was taken and edited by my boss Paul Solomon. He was gracious enough to share it with me so I could share it with all of you. Hopefully this will give you some idea what 30″ of fresh powder looks like. Shred the Gnar…

So far it has been an incredible April. The past 7 days have brought us over 100″ of snow. I have had the supreme luxury of skiing fresh powder (that continues to get deeper) 4 out of the past 5 days. I just ordered a camera that I can take with me when I go skiing, but it hasn’t arrived, so I figured I’d post this video my boss took today on his helmet cam. Enjoy.

Birthday Weekend in Jackson, WY

I decided to go up to Jackson, WY for my birthday to visit my good friend Nick, his brother, and our friend Alex. It was a great short little trip. I got to ski Jackson, eat @ Bubba’s (which I would recommend to anyone going through Jackson…especially the Blueb Pancakes), saw a concert at the Jackson Hole Mountain Festival, made hot, hot fires, and spent some quality time with some really fine people.

Nick and I took a trip back up to a frozen Jackson Lake to see the mountain, and lake, still covered in snow and ice. I can’t say whether the Jetty we made back in November is still in tact, but my guess is that it is ‘most definitely in prime condition, frozen under the ice.’ I will have to give everyone a more in depth update the next time I drive up to Jackson once the ice melts. Despite the lack of Jetty inspection, we walked out onto the frozen lake and enjoyed the splendor that is the Tetons.

This song comes to mind, when I think of Jackson and the Tetons in general. Enjoy at will.

It was great to get out of Salt Lake, even for a short time. Now I’m halfway to having old man strength. Eff yeah.
