These were some of the most fun runs of the season. Snowbird is an amazing mountain and the spring there can’t be beat. Ron Mason and I hiked to the top of the twins and skid Germicide and then hiked Baldy and skied pearless into Alta. Germicide was the steepest skiing I did all year!
Extra cold temps makes for extra blower pow… Snowbird gets a ton of pow but we don’t get cold smoke like this very often. Definitely a day to bundle up!
Spring can be a little depressing sometimes…you know, with all the snow melting and all… Luckily there are spring storms that bring us right back to the heart of winter. After this one, Alta & Snowbird were within 4″ of having a 200″ base (~16′) and over 600″ on the year!
Sunrise on the top of Snowbird…clouds below. The wind was steadily increasing, with gusts reaching 50 maybe 60! The skiing was still awesome however.
And in sheltered locations, it was so good, we even did a little hucking.
