Video (5min-4mb) from thursday with Gramps and his roommate. Lots of hiking footage because that's the reality of BC skiing. And some survival turns to boot. Conditions were firm neve with the ocassional 6" of wind drift on top, making for pretty variable turns throughout the descent.
I also included some pics pulled from the digi footage for those who can't view video.
If you watch it more than once, download it to your computer. I only have
40GB of transfer per month. Thanks.

On a side note, skied Garden City Canyon today with Lake Tahoe like views of Bear Lake. As Xover would say.....it was SICK!!

I like it. Nice soul to the video. Looks like your tele friend is doing pretty good with only a few days under his belt. His wipeout made my knees hurt just looking at it, though!

Yeah, get out of the Wasatch with this high pressure were parked under and nail that shit. Now is the time. But it looks like the Uintas might get some with this mon-tuesday storm. Originally Posted by AltaPowderDaze
