I skied Snowbird with some friends! L-R: me, Tony C, Big Tony, Stefan

Stefan coming down Middle Cirque, very flat light made it tough.

Trio with the terrain they just skied (The Cirque) in the distant background. 3K foot vertical drop on this run.

Run of the morning was down the middle of Mineral Basin, the sun came out and we could see! Tony C in yellow, Stefan in grey.

Great morning of skiing. Visibility was just good enough to be quite fun skiing! These guys will have some nice days in LCC this next week with moderate snow Tues-Thurs, making for great skiing, but hopefully not enough to draw the SLC sick-day hordes to the slopes.

Our first run into Mineral Basin with jimk was Bookmark Gully, good snow but light a bit flat.

Exiting Mineral Basin we looked at Great Scott, but the entry had been scraped so there was a step down over rocks so we passed on that. I skied Shot 10 and made it down the apron in time to see jimk, tseeb and Stefan ski the skier's right ropeline of Mid Cirque. Jimk charging that as Stefan observes:
