Snowboarding in Utah
The other weekend I went out to Utah for 4 days of snowboarding with some friends. We hit Snowbird, Snowbasin, Solitude, and Powder Mountain. The weather was great and they had tons of snow from the last 6 weeks. We hiked up traverses for fresh powder and even took the run from the top of the 2002 Olympic Mens downhill start. We got lucky over the weekend and it started snowing Saturday afternoon. We finished the day in a few fresh inches and woke up Sunday to about a foot of new snow. We made fresh trails in the deep powder on the back country a lot of the day. The 4x4 came in handy on the canyon roads. The depth of the powder and the steepness of the terrain doesn't show true in the pics. As heard in the videos we east coasters were a bit giddy to ride in some real snow.
