I haven't skied pow. Ever. I've never been to an actual mountain. It's things like this that make me wonder why I even started skiing. I'm 800km away from any serious vertical.

Can't wait for the go pro footy. I was going up 22 and saw all you guys about to drop in. At that time, I was wishing I could afford some pow skis because 22 and 25 looked insane.

thats so sick, probably one of the reasons utah is so legit is that i never saw this coming on any weather report, keeping all that stuff to yourself

First run down 22 was the best run of my life.  It was epic over belly button deep the whole way down.

Saturday and Sunday were insane.  They waited to open the top until about 3 on Saturday.  I was one of the first into the Paranoids.  Usually, the top of Mammoth is more windbuff than blower, but this time it was waist deep blower all the way down.  A waist deep blower run down the noids is the stuff of dreams.  I got two runs before they shut the top down.  My two best runs of the season. 

Sunday was cool two.  Cut up pow all over the mountain.  I got in 3 Hemlock Ridge hikes, it was super deep back there.
