This week we saw a few storm days hit the Sierras and Eli and the crew were ready for pow.

I was lucky enough to catch some amazing snow (and sun) on a trip out to Utah to visit family, and had the helmet cam on for a run or two. Some photos from the beautiful but mostly boring drive through Nevada.

After surviving the never-ending salt flats we round the corner and see the Wasatch front still wrapped in clouds

A glimpse of the conditions:

Headed back to sunny Mount Tahoe!

Amidst an exploratory mission Hazen and JP decide get off the sleds and take a run down. Yes this is all one run with 4 well distinguished shelves of terrain. Well worth the hike out.

KeeKee and Hazen sledded out to a top secret location and Keenan bagged this little gem.

Slant Skis athlete Sean Field has been seen on a daily basis destroying Squaw’s terrain parks. Prime mid-line back flip, too.

Phil has discovered a new magical rail shredding potion in his tome of spells! It took him a while to remember the spell but he got it. SHAZAM!

It was a magical discovery; a perfect wind-lip, sheltered away from the holiday Alpine Meadows crowds’ thrashing skis and insatiable lust for pow. A monument to the freeskier, a beacon of hope for jibbers with fat skis. In other words we barely had to even shovel the lip! It was a jump for the lazy.

Late last spring Keenan Hawkins came upon a rock while hiking up Donner. The rock filled him with inspiration. This footage is proof of that inspiration. Austin also found his own rock feature, don’t tell Hazen.
