Footplants

This video will get you stoked if you are a skater at heart. OG foot plants and the origins of the trick and variations. Makes me glad I got out skating today.

And Grosso is the man!

A backcountry touring party of six, on splitboards and skis, were caught in an avalanche in the Sheep Creek area near Loveland Pass. Five of the riders were killed. The group may have triggered the avalanche from below the start zone, low in the avalanche path. The avalanche released into old snow layers and the ground. Approximate dimensions of the crown face of the avalanche are 4 feet deep and 500 feet wide." - CO Avalanche Information Center

My thoughts are with the families of those lost and with the backcountry riders of CO.

Post "Season" Powder

Another beautiful evening up at Bridger Bowl with some sweet fresh snow.

I found the whiteroom.

Dave was stoked all day for this.

And I can not lie

Riding some Rome snowboards. They both rip in pow.

Second line we rode. Don't know the name.

Dave also found the whiteroom.

Late Day Bridger

Cruised up Bridger and dropped into Sluice at 7pm.

Back home before dark.

Sun cresting the ridge.

Sebago on the ridge.

Dave B on the ridge.

Whiskey Dave is stoked.

Super fun deep turns.

Middle Basin

Had plans on trying to ski the SW Coulior on Beehive yesterday, but opted for lower elevation riding because of sporadic weather and white out conditions.
