Stranger. Lots going on in this shot.

 

oi....no snow

geese!

worst case scenario

the Hollywood zone, one of many

The list is actually getting shorter this year.

South face an unnamed peak on the edge of the Himal.

Le Mythe de Sisyphe. "The struggle itself [...] is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

My boulder went down there. Again. I better go get it.

z chute

lots of rocks in the upper chute. I think I was the 3rd one in there that day.

Dry Martini

It's pretty rare to find this aspect of Coneheads in such good shape, infact, it takes a maritime-like storm.

new skis!

Got these new Zealots earlier this year. This was one of my first runs. Jen Johnson and Annie Gillie make cameo appearances.

Here's a view of our coulie from the south.

Geoff in his stompin' ground

In 1997, Jon Cummins put in 100 days at Alta, and he does not hate snowboarders

Another one that I've been eyeing for 10 years or so. Tick!

money line, dog gets sluffed

pert near tracked out

unphased after taking a ride in the central chute

just another day at our nonprofit community ski area

I took this photo from the top of 3/4 rock. 2 inch day.

Zach, star of all these photos, skis really fast over steam roller

This is the pinch were I was sluffed over the rocks to the skier's right about a month ago in much lower snow.

Pow skiin'

Windless, cloudless, deep snow and -10 degrees Farenheit!

Good Runs Gone Bad

A GoPro has a much wider field of view than a skier wearing goggles and, I think it picks up contrast better also. I never saw this sluff coming; I just felt it and cut out right. Nothing eventfull happens after that, I'm just a lazy editor.                          

New vantage

This run is surprisingly accessible for the right price
