VTah Part VI — The Most Highly Anticipated Snow on Earth!
By: Greg
February 28, 2012
As we went on for lap 4 on Sunday, we couldn’t help but step back and be amazed at the day.
Open bowls choked with powder. Is this area code 801 or 802?!
Fresh snow waiting for you under a brilliant sunny sky. Is this Vermont or Utah?!
The answer of course is that this is neither. THIS is VTah.
All you can do is enjoy it, and HIGH FIVE!
I hope you all had fun. If you missed it, the good news is that as I look out my window right now it’s snowing again. Git sum!

That’s snow way in the upper echelon of quality that many places in the world don’t typically see.

wrote on February 28th, 2012 at 8:42 amHey there, great news! what a weekend. Haven’t had this much fun in ages.
Wanted to get up to TD but friends decided they wanted something different. I mean who wouldn’t want to go for TD with so much POW out there!!! Oh well, I digress. So wound up going to the Hump. Not as great as you guys had it. I told the party they made a big mistake heading for this area, but they wouldn’t have it. Oh well, I did sneak off on Sunday and went into the north side of Belvidere. It was a good thing to bring snowshoes. Lots of POW. Very
stable, as far as where I went. Good stuff. Came back via Hazens and made it
down almost to the main road. Oh well it was great. Let’s take it while the goods are good. You all have a great (SAFE)time out there. Have fun! BC

wrote on February 28th, 2012 at 8:46 amSorry Gregg. Forgot to mention those GREAT photos again. You guys do a smash up job of it. If anyone isn’t excited, then they need to look at those pics and get it going. All it takes is a little energy, and bang you are on it. Love the photos, keep ’em coming. This year has been so snowless, that it’s like having christmas morning all over again. Again SUPER PICs.
