TR: Alta Pow Day 06/07/07

Myself, Beaterd, and Jakecast made it up to Alta around 7:15 and started skinning around 8:00.

The snow was bomber, we skied the shoulder first. Beaterd and I decided to take a gander at Baldy Main Chute and it looked money, luckily for us the bootpack had already been set by some previous maggots(Thanks Powstash and Trackhead)...

Alta was socked in for most of the day so taking pictures was tough, a few came out.

Great day in the Wasatch today. Glad your shovel came back safe Jake :D

Jake thinking, what have I gotten into?

Pics turned out sweet man! Some of mine came out too, I'll put 'em up when I get off work. Today was $$$$!

Powder skiing Utah bastard..this isn't funny anymore

I skipped class and found out it was a big review session for the mid-term next week, had someone snap my atm card taking it off my keychain, almost lost my shovel, had a backpack that could not hold skis, spent $1450 on a mountain bike that is still non-existent, and had to bum water off of jtrue. All I can think about is how pumped I am to go tomorrow. June...FUCKING June 9.

Jake

Did I mention it's JUNE <--- THE 6TH MONTH OF THE YEAR IT IS JUNE!

Beaterd hope your long shift went ok, when you wake up from the skinning, skiing, bootpacking induced coma you are probably in post up the pics.

I compiled a gallery of all the pictures + posted my own mini-TR on my website. I know getting all the pictures together took a while, I don't want to point fault or name names because that would be unfair to Beaterd.
