1-23-07 A nice, quiet corner of the Wasatch

Today was another day of wandering. This time with DTM, Gramps, and Tom. We wandered to a quiet, not oft visited part of the Wasatch that has plenty of nice snow, and nobody around.

Tom, on the first turn of the day.

A short skin later, and a nice, different perspective on Broads Fork.

A short jaunt to another little summit.

Tom, enjoying some oft not skied east facing slopes, in never never land.

And continuing into the trees.

Soon after, we traversed left, leaving 5 more possible turns. Gramps was disgusted, as shown by the brief video clip here.

One more mini peak along the way, then out.

Nice skis, DTM!

Okay, I'm jealous.... Are you happy now!

Very nice, love the view into Broads from there. Wondered if you fellas ended up in that neck this morning.

We found "a little strange" over on Sup this morning. Slow going on the up due to conditions, very late to work :eek: Fun, but weird thick powder on a variety of crusts on South facing. Not sloppy seconds in thar either :biggrin:
Beauty of a morning though eh.

Wow nice, i love that tree shot, nice camera skillz.........

:yourock:

"Travese back to the saddle... like you're at Alta... God! I don't even want to talk to you guys."

Hilarious!

Nice work, TH! Just needs all those rocks we keep hearin' about. ;)

Yes, definitely no snow around SLC...

Looks good! :)

Cool. Looks like a nice and relaxing day.

Great morning, good crew, good turns. That east shot was http://www.killsometime.com/Pictures...Huge-Boobs.gif

There's also nothing like strolling into work at 3:00 and the first words out of your boss's mouth are "Did you find good snow?

Its better when your boss is 10 feet behind you in the booter up Suicide.

Nice pics TH.

^Even better still when your boss is breaking trail for you (and your dumb friend).

My boss usually says "glad you're not dead" when I come sneaking in the back door in my ski shit. He is not a skier.

5 turns? More like half the fall line if we had played it right. ;) Sweet tour today, nice pictures. I'll have to bring my camera next time. Those runs are short to begin with though, it pains me to stop half way through to take pictures. :)

Appropriately crotchety attitude from Gramps... but am I the only one that was expecting him to look older than 25?!

Classic response to seeing Gramps for the first time.

:) Nice pics!!!!!

That shot in the aspens is absolutely beautiful.

i don't know if it's safe to get the gramps all riled up like that. i mean, his heart is probably in delicate condition at that old age
