Today was the culmination of the recent round of storms and provided the best day in weeks. The 24 hr. storm deposited over 12-18" and more in isolated spots through out the upper Big and Little Cottonwoods. At Brighton, the tracks were almost filled in from yesterday's morning storm event. Sources at Brighton said that the snow really didn't stop all night. Today's snow depths backed their stories.
With all the snow from the last 24hrs, I decided to mount up my new 04-05 Winterstick swallowtail. For today's conditions their isn't any other choice of rides. If you are a serious pow junkie, you need to have a swallowtail in your quiver. The board is truely amazing! By the end of the day, the clouds parted. A weak high pressure ridge moved into the region and provided glimpses of the picturesque backcountry. With another round of storms coming into the northern parts of Utah, much of the week's weather will remain unsettled. Check out the links to the right for a better overview of the upcoming weather and avalanche conditions.
Well, day 5 has come and gone like the storms through the mountains. Though today was mostly low light visability conditions, we got some more helmet cam footage and some more stills. Eddie will post up the pictures later at www.fat-tours.com/blog Check them out.
More updates to the blog tomorrow inbetween sessions.
Until then, be safe.
