Very thin and tons of rocks getting in and out. We're all hoping for 2-3 feet this weekend!
I hope this is my last edit from last winter 😂 😠Dance for snowstorms here in Utah!
Powder day video to hold the craving over as winter is on our doorsteps!
The song's tempo and lyrics fit perfect with this video, "heaven when I ride you" ... the song is a great analogy for the love of winter and riding snow.

Man, I really didn't get to film much in the park. Busy with work in the backcountry and endless powder days. An awesome reason to not film buds in the park. Here are some shots for you all to satiate the craving a little!
It's that time of year where the craving returns! Creating an ski edit has become a bit of a tradition. These are cuts from some of my favorite filming of this season.
What can I say? Definitely grateful.Song: Alles wird gut by Stabil Elite
Just one of those days that came together perfectly. Utah powder skiing at its finest.
Not a great snow year in Utah, but April and May gave us a good handful of wonderful powder days!
2+ feet of incredible snow. This weekend was a blast!
When conditions change overnight and the storm delivers more than expected...heaven! Nothing beats a powder day in the backcountry.

I'm required to have someone film me for a ski guide course application, so this was the most footage I've ever had of someone else filming me. So this was actually a really fun edit to put together. When the powder is this good, it makes editing pretty dang enjoyable. It's always fun to relive a day skiing like this.

This video is a bit different for me. This edit consists of tail guiding a couple clients up Mount Superior, Utah. I recorded most the climb and all of the skiing. I thought it was fun to edit together the most fun parts of the day including some of my favorite sound bites. I did it chronologically. It's a nice way for me to relive the day.
Mount Superior is such an amazing climb and ski, full of timeless views of the beautiful Wasatch. The weather was perfect! The snow wasn't bad considering how long Utah had gone without snow. It was like skiing spring corn snow...but in January.
Kaya in the Park City terrain park (3 Kings). Not bad AT ALL for a 12 year old!

Fellow snow riders in the West know how AMAZING December was for us. I had some pretty great powder days here in Utah. Since then we've had quite the dry spell so here's a powder skiing edit to hold you over until the next snowfall. Here's to more snow soon! The West needs it. May Ullr bless these mountains with his steps.

I was able to get out on January 2nd and what a day for the weather to clear and get in some powder runs. A GREAT way to start the new year.
I'm making a full edit from some recent powder days here in Utah but I just had to do a quick upload from yesterday's AMAZING snow conditions. It was bottomless, it was fast, it was just plain fun. After the skunking last year, a slow November this year, I was worried. But then I had this blessed day.
Single ski run, top to bottom. Part 2 to Part 1: https://youtu.be/VBAgWFYUhF0
One of the best powder days of the year last season.
One of the best powder days of the year last season. At this point in the day I was traversing to find the best powder spots. Always tons of fun to pop from powder spot to spot. One of my favorite ways to ski while inbounds. Part 2 (the following run) to follow later this month.
It's an early start to our 2021-2022 winter riding season. Fingers crossed this snow doesn't turn into a problem layer later this season. We can hope for mild temperatures and steady snowfall until the season is over!

Yup. It's that time of year where I start to go a little crazy. Crazy waiting for the first major snowfall. And then crazy waiting for a good enough base to start the season. So I make a quick edit to satiate the yearn. Winter's almost here guys...hang in there!
Filmed in Park City (February 18, 2021).

It's that time of year when I start getting RESTLESS for winter. Time to make some edits to hold me over. Here's a mid April powder day in the backcountry.

Hey this is a buddy's video posted with his permission. If you want to contact him or ask questions, go comment on the video on YouTube.
Here's my comment on the issue/video:
"I feel the heart in this.
My introduction to mountains and wilderness was in Idaho. I was born there and it's sad to see rapid and expansive development gaining momentum there (I'm in Utah now).
It not only destroys our way of life, it destroys life. Wildlife that depends on this land to survive and have a chance at life. Which is their right.
Lodges and rollercoasters, more lifts and more expansion is not our right. I hope the human race will soon collectively realize this.
Let's work with what we have and refine that. Refine the resorts that already exist. Remodel and rebuild on land that's already been developed.
I'm joining this fight Dan!"

The Tamarack Resort expansion plans are out of control and threaten to take over more than 3,300 acres of pristine public lands in West Central Idaho. Tamarack Ski Resort is owned by private equity and real estate firms from Florida and Georgia. Their plans include a total take over of the public lands complete with a 10,000 sqft building on top of the Mountain, a mountain roller coaster, 5 new lifts, and more. These are developers from out of state with big plans to make their ROI through real estate sales. These out of state Tamarack owners do not share the same values of Idaho and threaten to negatively affect Valley County in many ways such as but not limited to, pricing locals out of their homes, excessive strain on local infrastructure, erosion of community identity, and loss of natural beauty by building lifts, roller coasters, and big buildings.

I am against Tamarack resort's expansion plans and it is time for the voices of the opponents to be heard. Tamarack will not slip under the radar with their ambitions to destroy public lands. I have co-founded a non-profit called Leave Our Lands Alone Alliance and we are dedicated to stopping the take over of these public lands. Stop Tamarack's expansion.
If the Forest Service *does* grant Tamarack a permit, they (or whoever buys it next) would be able to develop with no (well, few) questions asked any time in the next 40 years. Public lands should not be used as development/real estate collateral. So, keeping that permit from being granted is important to protecting the area from present and future development threats.

Not really any skiing in this, just footage I got in the backcountry yesterday. This is a sort of peaceful white noise video in the wintery mountains. Made to help slow and rest your mind or just watch some pretty snowy mountain and cloud footage. No music, just wind SFX. This was filmed near the Primrose Cirque on Mount Timpanogos.

The last storm cycle in Utah was GREAT! It felt back to normal and this day was such a fun powder day at Park City.

Let the crowds clear and find your secret stashes. WHAT a day after the storm! Please don't mind my
excitement...Utah has had a terrible snow season this year and today was by far my best day yet.
