Best powder day I have had since lastMarch, no joking. It was pretty much amazing. 
I couldn't get anyone else to wake up so I went up alone. The preseason scene at Alta is just crazy.... so much traffic, so I wasn't worried about getting lost. I also knew poeple going up later.

I met up with Jake (JakesCast....?)... sorry, don't remember the rest of it, but he's the guy posting the rest of the Alta reports. It was a random meeting; I recognized him from the pictures. We jumped over some tree and made some turns with another firend of his. It was cool meeting you guys! sorry i don't remember the friend's name, i'm horrible with names. 

They went hiking and a couple friends of mine (the photographer who provided all these photos) came along.

ahaha.... just realized hat I wrote "wasn't worried about getting lost". I meant that i wasn;t worried about having a BC budy because there were so many people in the area I WAS.

It figures we have an epic pre season again, since I had shoulder surgery a month and a half ago.

Yea, it's been amazing. thanks for all the positive comments. I'm going to show this to Bryan, he'll be stoked. 

The majority of the skiing pics are me... I have the orange/giro helmet/Made'ns/no poles

I'm glad this hasn't turned into a no poles thread. I might be jinxing it. It was the first day that i have ever tried it in powder (I actually didn;t like skiing without poles personally until i got used to it late spring last year). Needless to say, there's a reason that Pep and Andy do it. It's sooooo fun. Brings a whole new sense of how you are interacting with the super soft snow. dragging your hands is so much fun.
