Sundance for the freshies
so saturday i did the irresponsible thing and didn’t go to class; it’s snowed for 3 days straight here in Utah. so you could say the responsible thing was to make use of God’s given blessings. that i did and headed up to Sundance w/ my brother and a friend to catch some freshies and hopefully make an “epic” day out of it.
we were a little late (around (9:30 am) to cut first trails in some of the areas, but w/ a little bit of resourcefulness we found a few untouched lines and had an absolute blast. barrett and i had not been on the mountain since i was in high school and he was a ski bum in Park City, so it was great to ride w/ him. it’s amazing how good he is despite the hiatus and the fact he’s gotten fat and old. don’t worry i suffer from the fat and old part too (i felt all 30 years and 200 lbs on the mountain).
one thing is for sure i look forward to some more days on the mountain w/ barrett this season and getting some new gear from backcountry.com to ensure a little more productive outings:
- new boots for snowboarding
- noggin protector w/ audio
- over glasses goggles from oakely (i hope they work)
- big flask for a cup of hot chaw
- heavy long underwear … something like this will do.
that and a little of the class playing between the ears and i think it would be pretty sweet. next ski day is Feb 01 @ the Canyons. after that i’m looking for the next snow fall to head up to Powder Mountain for some cat skiing.
i’ll throw up some pics later …
