Then he landed little snow covered ROCK.

さらに彼は少し雪に覆われた岩に着地しました。

Kind of STOMP.

Don’t forget Daryn’s condition report at Snowbird.

Was there the PIPE LINE name on Snowbird trail map before? I think It’s from this season… パイプラインがスノーバードのトレール・マップに表記されたことがありましたか？ 私は、今シーズンからそのものを考えます … Brady Newton and Kenjiro skied “Pipe Line” at Snowbird, UT. … Read More

Dave Zook, one of the Alta Snowboard Team members, sent over this edit of the goods from early this week. Blower pow is a thing of the past for now at the Bird, but it is fun to watch the AST getting out ant getting after it again!

Thought I could pass you along an edit I just made of this last storm’s insanity. It’s POV shot in three days and with a few follow-film shots of my buddy John Scheffler. I found it to be the best two consecutive bird days of my season, capped off with a tour to Red Baldy on the third day (the last shot). I’m kicking myself because I know the cam is pointed a bit too low on some shots, which is my bad, but hopefully it conveys a little bit how how much damn fun it is around here when we get multiple feet of blower.

Thanks Dave!

The snow has been falling over the Rockies this past week bringing up to 3 feet of snow in many places, but we will have a break the next 5 days … Read More

彼はこの雪期のソルトレイク・シティは７回目。
初めの年、SLCに友人はいません。彼、雑誌を見ました。ワサッチからのこれらの凄い写真がSnowbird、アルタ、サイドとバックカントリーを含むと、彼らは言います。
それで、彼はスキー・ソルトレイクシティを選びます。

He grow up and live in Tokyo, JAPAN.

Tried some free skiing competition. He ski everyday at Snow Bird and make a friends. Retired from Competition.

Already skied a lots of POWDER in Hokkaido, Niigata and Hakuba this season.

Anyway, We Skied Powder and Jumped Cliff all day.

彼は育って、日本の東京に住んでいます。
いくつか挑戦済みのフリースキー競技会。 彼はスノーバードで毎日スキーをして、友人を作ります。 競技会を引退しました。
すでに、今シーズン、北海道、新潟と白馬でたくさんのPOWDERをスキーしました。
いずれにしろ、私たちは一日中パウダーをスキー、崖を飛びました。

This cliff is just ready to go at this storm. Impossible before the storm. thanks snow.

Let’s watch today’s Kenjiro.

STOMP!

この崖は、ちょうどこの嵐に取り組む準備ができています。 嵐の前に不可能な。雪に感謝します。

People were getting a little bit crazy today at Snowbird with big airs being the move of the day. The Broom Closet, the High Speed Double, Smokestack, and even Tom Runcie’s Sickbird Buckle earning double in the Amphitheater were sent multiple times each today into the deepest snow the Wasatch has seen since last April.  Former US Ski Jumper Josh Hanson won the day in my opinion by hitting Smokestack 3 times in about 1 hour including two 360 attempts.

The morning was a bit frustrating due to giant lift lines and extremely limited terrain. Once P-Gulch got opened up things got interesting. I think the next day or two will continue to be awesome pow before the warm up later in the week send us back into Spring Break mode.

Did you see anything crazy today? What wins in your book?

Another angle on the Smokestack 360.

Today and yesterday were likely the best two days of the season so far at Snowbird. After a rugged first couple of months the season looks like it is finally getting itself on track. Skiing on Baldy the last two days could only be described as epic. A female snowboarder friend of mine stated loudly in the tram line yesterday that she loves Baldy more than she does her her long time boyfriend. I completely understand that claim and think that if you were there either of the last two days you do too.

The wind was howling today and the Snowbird lifts department did a hell of a job keeping the tram running. Mineral was closed all day and patrol shut down the Baldy hike at about 1:00pm today due to massive amounts of wind loading. Tower 3 was also a bit unstable, with myself and several other kicking off significant slides in that area. Silver Fox was more buffed out than it has been since sometime last year. All in all it was the kind of storm day that we have been sorely missing thus far in 2012. It started dumping again at about 5:00pm today and the forecast is calling for up to 2 feet of new by the end of the day tomorrow. 

Game on!!!
