A Sunday Night at the Resort on Ski Patrol @ -2 Degrees

Sunday night with extreme temps and winds makes for a classic mid-winter night. I make a sweep of the resort at the end of the night on the snowmobile and park it on the top hill. It gives me one last snowboard run down the frontside through the bowl. With temps below zero the snow machines are making plenty of new snow.

Porcupine Bites Skier

That is some funny stuff, porcupine had no trouble catching a skier at Alta. Porcupines wouldn't dare mess with a snowboarder.

New Years Eve @ Afton Alps / Ski Patrol

Just finished riding the snowmobile across the resort to close the hills. Now I ride my snowboard down the hill for the first run of 2013. This is 2 years in a row for this.

 It's -9 degrees and they are making snow. It's like a snow storm at the top of the Hill.

How deep? Cooke City Deep! - 17 Dec 2012

Putting a Wrap on the Cooke City, Montana Adventure

The last day of the trip to Cooke City was bright with sunlight, we were able to see the mountains and explore a new area.

The potential for snowboarding was evident for a future trip and it was great to get on the sled early in the season. 

 We climbed up high to the pass for some great views of the surrounding mountains.

This impromptu trip and destination turned out to be a good adventure and a chance to ride some challenging deep snow. Met some good people, enjoyed good food and added another area to my list.

Happy New Year and Happy Travels to All!!
