Skiing Powder on new Salomon Rocker2 115

With interlodge in effect up at Alta and an “estimated” canyon opening at 10:30, the time was right to hit Snowbasin. Talk about good timing! The storm produced as much snow at Snowbasin as it did at Alta, and they were looking to open some terrain for the first time all year. It felt like the perfect amount of snow. Of the 24″ that fell, the first 12″ was pretty dense, and the second 12″ was a lot lighter… its always nice having a right side up storm!
As it was the first legit storm of the year it was also my first time in deep powder on next years Salomon Rocker2 115s. I ski these with the, also new, Salomon Guardian AT binding, and the combination is superb! I will discuss the skis and bindings more later on, but believe me… this is IT.
