New year, new FIS SPAM! This week’s installment is the result of a walk up high in which we came away with a lesson learned: The line is not ready.

Sitting here in front of a wonderful and slightly unnecessary cast iron wood stove (at the very comfy Hostel in Keene Valley) on this new year’s morn is wonderfully serene.  However, as none of you care about my serenity I should prob. write a little bit about the weather.

…To git sum for a couple of days on the East Coast. It’s unclear exactly what the weather has in store this weekend, but it surely isn’t any skier’s dream forecast. But there’s nothing any of us can do about it. So rather than complaining, go out and find the snow you want while you still can (PS here’s the tools you need for that task). Here’s a few simple pictures just looking down lines. Your job is to envision the schuss, and then go out and make it happen. It’s in your hands (along with your ski poles) now…

I love powder snow

I ski it before breakfast

and I ski it after lunch

If I had 100 powder runs

100 powder runs

I’d ski them all at once

What at storm!  ULLR unleashed his love across the entirety of Northern Utah.  Bing Bang Boom, he sure knew what he was doing this time around.  As  L_H forecasted, we were graced with cold 4% smoke.  We couldn’t be happier if we we’re John Denver singing on skis.  Stay tuned for more where this came from.

After three weeks and 100 inches of snow in Utah, I’m finally putting up some of the pictures from the skiing we’ve been having. With a deep early season base and several powerful storm systems, the skiing has been nothing short of incredible…
