Dropping into 2017

Andrea dropping to Bonkers above Broads Fork on New Year's Eve. I thought this would be my favorite photo of the weekend, but then January 2nd happened. You'll see when you scroll down to the bottom.

We love four day weekends. After a stretch of fantastic early season weekends, we were out of town and missed the big Christmas storm. But then we totally redeemed ourselves as the calendar turned over from 2016 to 2017. It took a little extra work (and some bushwacking at times) but we were able to ski untouched powder on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, despite the fact that it hadn't snowed since Christmas. It felt so good to get up above the inversion/smog on those days as well.

Then today (Monday) another storm system came into town and things really got going... one of those dream powder days! Bottomless turns. And the best part is - there are lots more in the forecast!

Four great days in the Wasatch. We are tired!!!

And we're back - December Powder Skiing!

Andrea and I were out skiing today and we ran into a couple who said they recognized us from our blog. Our immediate reaction was - oh jeez, we haven't updated the blog in months! Time to get going again...

Ski season is off to a GREAT start. I think it had snowed about two inches by Thanksgiving, but the hose finally turned on, storms started rolling in, and the mid/high elevation snowpacks built up fairly quick. A couple atmospheric rivers later, and this has been the best December we can remember. Fortunately for weekend warriors, the storms have lined up nicely for three straight weeks of Saturday/Sunday powder skiing. It doesn't get much better than that!

Early-season photos from the past couple weekends...

So. Many. Wedding. Photos.

This post is short and to the point, because you have a lot of photos to scroll through...

Our wedding photographer was Logan Walker. She is amazing!

Our full wedding album is roughly 1500 pictures... we narrowed it down to around 300 here:
