Woah.  What’s this nonsense.  A new guy, Utah powder shots, giant red rocks, snowmobiles.  Yes, that exactly what it is.

Just a few shots from today up on Mount Mansfield. It was too wet and stormy to fiddle around with the camera much today for fear of destroying our equipment. The official snow fall at the weather station near the summits was 17″ of snow which contained 2.37″ of liquid water (check the weather page to see more details about snowfall statistics by using the tools there). You can do the math to figure out the ratios, but needless to say, this wasn’t quite 2% blower. In fact, I can effectively use just one word to sum up today: WET.

The last two weeks have been like that for me. Sorry. I’ll get it back!

And I’m going to try to start with a system(s) coming this week.

We are wrapping up our time here in Gulmarg and getting ready to head to Manali for some touring before our unfortunate departure for the real world. We are in a strange Limbo between powder and corn season. The crazy thing about Gulmarg is that it has the same latitude as Florida, Manali is even further south.
