Unofficial Snowbird

Spring was in the air today and it was time to go get some corn. The plan was to meet Annie and Crazy Ray at Alta early and get moving, but a random road closure held us up a bit. It all worked out for the best as we added three more people to our crew during the leisurely hike up. It was super warm and sunny and we were hoping to get to the peak from the corn got too sloppy.

This video was sent in by a guy who goes simply by “Heff”. It is tough to pull off the one name thing, but I think that Heff can hang since he skis so well. It seems that we share tastes in lines, because some of my favorites are in this edit. Congrats on being famous on the Internet Heff. Say hi to the girls for me eh?

Anyone who has not been living under a rock knows that this has been the best April of skiing ever in the history of the world. That was made official when Snowbird announced that it has received more snow this year than in any other in its 40 year history.  This is Gavin Smith’s first season in LCC. What a lucky guy! Not only did he get to ski at the best resort on the planet during his freshman year in college he got it on the best year the resort has ever had. Logic tells us that the best resort having its best year is impossible to beat. You just can’t argue with logic…that would be stupid.

Well it is time for some shameless self promotion. I have been procrastinating on this for about a week or so and it is time to be that guy and … Read More

Nate Blouin likes to get out there and ski the good stuff. Most of the clips in the edit are from his adventures in Wolverine Cirque in the past couple weeks. I really dig on the first line in the edit. Can you believe how good April has been? Nate can’t and uses some colorful language to accentuate that.

To all you rippers out there that want to be famous on the internets shoot your best edits to me at Daryn@unofficialnetworks.com. Don’t be shy… if your edit sucks I won’t use it…I will just make fun of you for sucking. Just kidding send me the goods and I will use it. I also need photos of you and your friends doing rad stuff in snow and in the mountains in the summer.

I am sure there are some haters out there that are sick of hearing that today was the Best Day Ever. Oh well….Let em hate. Today was F%cking nuts. Bluebird…again. 20″ of new light weight pow…again.  Cold, so it lasted all day…again. Why do people that like to ski powder live anywhere else? I have no clue. Today was better than the best day at 95% of the resorts in the world had this year. Crazy good snow in the Cirque, on Baldy and of course in Mexico. The lines were a little long for the tram, but Snowbird opened Peruvian for us today. Thank you Snowbird, thank you so much.

More pow and air from the youth of LCC. I really wish I had gotten to grow up here. These kids have crazy skills and are having way more fun that I did growing up. The state of Utah could use these videos if they wanted to get more people to move here, but that would further dilute the Mormon influence so they probably wouldn’t want to do that after all. Dubsatch crushing it once again!

This video was sent to me by Knut Carter and features some aggressive riding from Mr. Carter. The music will either get you pumped or pissed, but either way you will be awake and ready to face your day. I am super stoked to see some more snowboard footage coming in. Thanks Knut and to all yall other homies and homie-ettes with GoPros send your sweetest edits to Daryn@unofficialnetworks.com. Thanks!

After a brief 2 hours in the canyon jam this morning I actually got to ski some pow. It was super super super sick! There were a lucky few that stayed up or beat the road this morning. Tracy Price and Ryan Hudson were a few of the lucky ones that scored 2+ hours of country club riding this morning. Snowbird called an uncommon mid-day interlodge from about 12:30pm until 2:30pm due to heavy natural avalanche activity. How many other resorts have these issues this time of year? None, that’s how many. Again I will state loudly that Snowbird is far superior to any other ski resorts in North America.

There was pow to be skied in the sidecountry of Snowbird early yesterday. The lines we got in Scotty’s bowl were definitely worth getting up early for. They were super fast and creamy. After that it was time to head to Alta. There was a strong showing at the High Boy Party considering the snowy weather. I was glad to see that tons of snowboarders from the Bird made it over to represent. The entire Alta Snowboard Team was there rocking their new uniform tee shirts. Good times….
