Deer Valley 1/6

OK. I don't like to throw out the word "epic" too often -- it should be reserved for days with waist deep powder, but today was "near epic". :) Definitely the best day I've had so far this season. A big storm blew in and left us with tons of new snow. Knee deep powder and more coming all day. Awesome.


(Pete in Percy Bowl.)

I met up with friends on the hill and had a great day. We only made it as far as Sultan, but the snow there was so great, there was no reason to go anywhere else. In the morning, we did runs down Tycoon, Evergreen, Pompeii and Percy Bowl. Awesome tracks through the trees. Hard not to have a good time.


(Kevin's turn.)

After an early lunch -- my legs were worn out by 11 -- back for more of the same. The winds had picked up and it was snowing hard, but Sultan seemed a bit more sheltered. More of the same runs from the morning plus a couple of excellent lines through Percy Bowl. Everyone was having a great time.

If you go, take powder cords. It would suck to spend an afternoon digging around for a lost ski.

'til later,

P.S. If you haven't noticed (maybe you were in a foreign country or something over the holidays...) Utah has gotten tons of snow in the past few weeks and more is one the way. The skiing is great, so get out here!
