Grizzly Gulch, GO!

Those trees!!!

BACKCOUNTRY POWDER SKIING IS THE BEST!!!

After our trip to Sun Valley we spent the week in the usual fashion: working, running, and skinning uphill evening laps at Brighton with hopes of some weekend powder skiing. It didn't snow a ton during the week, but enough accumulated over the course of the week to create prime backcountry conditions. The snow was light, the views (the trees!) were beautiful, and it felt good to be floating through pow turns all weekend on the fat planks instead of carving hardpack on rando racing skis. "Greatest Snow on Earth" was not an overstatement this weekend.
