Believe it or not, there was about 16" of fresh yesterday. It was blower-fabulous up high and mash potatos down low. All in all pretty good for May first skiing. I got out with Nate for tour number five-oh for the season, skiing one shot off of Kessler- the West Coulior. It was another new line in a year of new lines for me. Sorry, no photos! Here is one of Little Pine shot from the White Pine trail in Little Cottonwood Canyon. WE've been talking about it a lot for the past four months, especially while skinning past it across the canyon in the early morning light. The perspective is foreshortenened, in the photo and viewing it from the White Pine trail. It skis from 11,100 to 7,800 feet, or thereabouts for 3,300 vertical of the most direct fall-line bliss. Drew and I agree that it is one of the choicest lines in the Wasatch. Don't let anyone know! Actually, tell whoever. Anyone willing to put in the work to ski this line deserves it to be filled with luscious pow-pow!
