Going to start doing some micro video clips for realtime action. Here’s my first go at it. Took 3 Laps on High Boy over at Alta. The sun came out as we ascended the first ridge and just kept shining all day.

This is a great read and makes you rethink your decisions. Don’t let your dreams fade with the days that go by. I really connected with this as I just finished watching McConkey. McConkey was easily one of the largest influences in my childhood that helped me develop my own dreams. You know when he left us he certainly had no regrets.

The top 5 Regrets …http://www.ariseindiaforum.org/nurse-reveals-the-top-5-regrets-people-make-on-their-deathbed/
A lot of great skiing to close out the season in the Wasatch. Mostly awesome jump sessions..
As the season was winding down there were a couple days I sure want to note. One in particular was a day that started off with some sunny pow with friends and ended up with a solo stormy sketch hike that turned into one of those gratifying moments I’ll never forget. With laps in between at Brighton I was able to hit Clayton’s, Pioneer and Sunset Peaks all in a day.
Clayton’s was sunny. Pioneer an hour later was a blizzard. And then I dropped, The sun sneaked through and I got my last glory turns for the year. Oh I forgot to mention the baby moose. He’s in the video…
Earlier this winter I was contacted by a good friend to help with a project for Ski Utah. The plan was to shoot some commercials for their Internet advertising and the set date was the first week of April. April can be hit or miss for good snow especially if you want to show the “best snow on earth” to the rest of the global Internet community.
The first day we started shooting we got a few inches of snow in the mountains were pretty socked in. The next day it rained. Odds of getting decent shots were pretty dismal. We only had a few more days to shoot all of these resorts in the Ogden, Park City and Cottonwood Canyons. Yet there was a gleam of hope with a few inches of snow predicted for the next few days. Forecasts had been between 3 to 6 inches and up to 20. We didn’t know what to expect but we just kept our fingers crossed.
We got the snow and we got the shots. Thank you Utah!
And thank you to these individuals who helped make it all happen.
