Black and White

Soo this is more or less a continuation of the previous post. I have been playing around with some more pictures from the tour and thought I would throw them on here. They are all in black and white and pretty neat. Hope you enjoy.

And a year later... I did some split skiing on Tom's hill.


Sooo, in typical blog style, it has been about a year since I posted last. No excuse really, just been lazy I guess. Perhaps my life isn't as cool as it once was. I suppose I could so some posts of me doing homework or something since that seems to be about all I've been up to as of late.

Been on a couple split tours this year, good stuff. First up is one I did this morning with my good friend Dan. We got up early and took Tom's hill for a couple spins. Woke up about 5, park and ride around 6, skinning shortly after, and back to the car around 10:15. Oh yeah, and in class at the U at 10:45!

The approach was good and I am finally getting my legs back. The snow was unreal!!! Pretty much bottomless, very low density powder that just made you smile. Dropped a couple dumb rocks on my way down that were a bunch of fun. But, it was to good to last. My skin really froze up and gave me some static when it came time for lap numero dos. Nothing a little duct tape couldn't fix though. Anyways, here's some photographs. Enjoy.

A nice view of Big Cottonwood.



Very peaceful before the sun comes up.



The sun really started blasting those aspens in the background.
