Unofficial Snowbird

The Flying Squirrel Doing His Thing

March 14th, 2011 by Daryn Edmunds

Kaj Zackrisson is a hell of a good skier. I remember this clip from an MSP flick a few years back and I though it would be a good way to start off the Unofficial week. Next time you are in big trouble tumbling down the mountain channel your inner Kaj and find a way back to your feet.

Deep Snow and Reggae

March 10th, 2011 by Daryn Edmunds

The last seven days of skiing have been epic. Now that the sun is back out the snow is not so deep anymore. Oh well, it was a good run of powder skiing days. Bo Torrey sent me this edit from those deep days earlier season and it made me smile. I hope it makes you smile too!

Too Much Fun at Alta and Snowbird

March 7th, 2011 by Daryn Edmunds

After the mega sleeper day yesterday people packed into LCC early this morning. I got the the tram at 8:30am and it was a 4 tram wait. F*ck that! I walked back to the bypass and headed to Wildcat. 9th chair at 9:00am, you gotta love the kitty. It didn’t snow as much last night as I thought it would have, but the pow was creamy and plentiful. Most of the folks that were up first thing in the morning were gone by 11:00am and the snow actually held up really well.

Snowbird Grey Bird for Valentines Day

February 14th, 2011 by Daryn Edmunds

The sun was out this morning, but the wind was hammering. The tram was closed down due to high wind from about 10:30am until 2:00pm. By the time it was up and running again the clouds had blown in and most of the people had blown out. Snowbird was a ghost town by 2:00pm, with the tram deck completely empty and trams heading to Hidden Peak less than half full.
