Deer Valley 12/8

Saturday was opening day for the 2007-08 season at Deer Valley, and oh what a day it was! Storm totals of about 30" allowed them to open even more terrain than they had planned.


(Bill gets a little wide and has to dig out.)

The groomers seemed to get skied out quickly, but the real fun was the powder runs. Granted the snow was a little heavier than the soft, fluffy powder Utah is know for, but it will make a great base layer.


(Shane says that Utah powder is a lot better than Texas.)

And it made for the most spectacular face plant I've done for a while. Skiing through the deep, heavy snow, both my skis kept sinking until both heal bindings released at the same time sending me forward like Superman. Fortunately the landing was soft.


(Kevin rips it up.)

Definitely a great day to be out. And it looks like they'll be able to open up more terrain soon. Plan your Utah vacation now!

'til later,
- Jeff
