It was a quick but good day today. Skinned up to the top strapped in and headed down. The goal of the trip was to see if there is enough snow and to try out the GoPro Hero HD. I have to say I love that camera. If you have the money don't think about it and buy it. Photo and film shot with the GoPro, you be the judge.

Ohh, back in Utah. The old stomping grounds. It always feels good to come back to this part of the World.
Like every year my wife, Kristin, and I go down to SLC for the Outdoor Retailer show. We always add on some days to be able to ride the best snow on earth. This year it was a little scary...

Conditions:
Hip deep blower pow!
We had a late start in the mourning. We are just a little rusty getting all the gear together. We drove up the Highway and assest the situation. Snow cover looked good so we stopped at a zone called Fraiser Meadows. For a warm up we had to dig out our parking spot.
