Turns Earned

Our last day in Utah we decided to go explore some of the backcountry outside of Alta ski resort. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the views were awesome. The snow was, well, variable. We skied in everything from powder, to corn snow, to corn snow with a breakable crust on top. Yeah, the wicked breakable crust on tele, we both had some great wrecks. We did manage to ski pretty decently considering the variable snow conditions. It was a great day to earn turns.

Devil's Castle in the distance

You can see the tracks where someone skied this, crazy

Our route down: interesting corn snow with or without a breakable crust

Bryan headed down, like a pro on tele. He took off so fast I had a hard time getting a decent video of him.


Me on the descent. Unfortunately, right after Bryan stopped filming, I had a good wipe-out.
