Hey this is a buddy's video posted with his permission. If you want to contact him or ask questions, go comment on the video on YouTube.
Here's my comment on the issue/video:
"I feel the heart in this.
My introduction to mountains and wilderness was in Idaho. I was born there and it's sad to see rapid and expansive development gaining momentum there (I'm in Utah now).
It not only destroys our way of life, it destroys life. Wildlife that depends on this land to survive and have a chance at life. Which is their right.
Lodges and rollercoasters, more lifts and more expansion is not our right. I hope the human race will soon collectively realize this.
Let's work with what we have and refine that. Refine the resorts that already exist. Remodel and rebuild on land that's already been developed.
I'm joining this fight Dan!"

The Tamarack Resort expansion plans are out of control and threaten to take over more than 3,300 acres of pristine public lands in West Central Idaho. Tamarack Ski Resort is owned by private equity and real estate firms from Florida and Georgia. Their plans include a total take over of the public lands complete with a 10,000 sqft building on top of the Mountain, a mountain roller coaster, 5 new lifts, and more. These are developers from out of state with big plans to make their ROI through real estate sales. These out of state Tamarack owners do not share the same values of Idaho and threaten to negatively affect Valley County in many ways such as but not limited to, pricing locals out of their homes, excessive strain on local infrastructure, erosion of community identity, and loss of natural beauty by building lifts, roller coasters, and big buildings.

I am against Tamarack resort's expansion plans and it is time for the voices of the opponents to be heard. Tamarack will not slip under the radar with their ambitions to destroy public lands. I have co-founded a non-profit called Leave Our Lands Alone Alliance and we are dedicated to stopping the take over of these public lands. Stop Tamarack's expansion.
If the Forest Service *does* grant Tamarack a permit, they (or whoever buys it next) would be able to develop with no (well, few) questions asked any time in the next 40 years. Public lands should not be used as development/real estate collateral. So, keeping that permit from being granted is important to protecting the area from present and future development threats.

Kaya in the Park City terrain park (3 Kings). Not bad AT ALL for a 12 year old!

It's an early start to our 2021-2022 winter riding season. Fingers crossed this snow doesn't turn into a problem layer later this season. We can hope for mild temperatures and steady snowfall until the season is over!

Very thin and tons of rocks getting in and out. We're all hoping for 2-3 feet this weekend!
It's that time of year when I start getting RESTLESS for winter. Time to make some edits to hold me over. Here's a mid April powder day in the backcountry.

Let the crowds clear and find your secret stashes. WHAT a day after the storm! Please don't mind my
excitement...Utah has had a terrible snow season this year and today was by far my best day yet.
Bit of a sleeper powder day skiing at Park City and that's a first for me this season. What a day!
I'll spend a few days in the park during spring. It's always fun.

Early season is ROUGH this year. Praying to Ullr for more snow.Song: Rhea by Yehezkel Raz
I'm making a full edit from some recent powder days here in Utah but I just had to do a quick upload from yesterday's AMAZING snow conditions. It was bottomless, it was fast, it was just plain fun. After the skunking last year, a slow November this year, I was worried. But then I had this blessed day.
Yup. It's that time of year where I start to go a little crazy. Crazy waiting for the first major snowfall. And then crazy waiting for a good enough base to start the season. So I make a quick edit to satiate the yearn. Winter's almost here guys...hang in there!

Not a great snow year in Utah, but April and May gave us a good handful of wonderful powder days!
Another edit to help get us to the winter. Song: Pink Amason by Amason
When conditions change overnight and the storm delivers more than expected...heaven! Nothing beats a powder day in the backcountry.

This video is a bit different for me. This edit consists of tail guiding a couple clients up Mount Superior, Utah. I recorded most the climb and all of the skiing. I thought it was fun to edit together the most fun parts of the day including some of my favorite sound bites. I did it chronologically. It's a nice way for me to relive the day.
Mount Superior is such an amazing climb and ski, full of timeless views of the beautiful Wasatch. The weather was perfect! The snow wasn't bad considering how long Utah had gone without snow. It was like skiing spring corn snow...but in January.
I hope this is my last edit from last winter 😂 😭 Dance for snowstorms here in Utah!
