Here in Colorado, we are still facing a strong El Nino presence that is killing any hope for a persistent storm cycle to reach the central and northern mountain ranges. Last Thursday, over four inches of moisture was heading towards the southwest portion of the state. The obvious call for any skier was to flee towards Wolf Creek, Telluride, and Silverton, but Bill, Steve, and myself decided against logic and drove the extra two hours to spend the weekend in Utah. We were on the road some time after 8pm and didn't enter Salt Lake City until 3:30 in the morning on Saturday with just a few hours to rest. In most situations, such a lack of sleep would make most people miserable, but when the amount of fresh snow in feet is greater than the number of hours of sleep you had the previous night, you're gonna have a good day.
Check that.
You're gonna have an unbelievable day.
Need proof? Below are some photos courtesy of Steve Mokan - be sure to check out the complete gallery from the trip as well as the rest of his portfolio.
