Powder Skiing in April


In the last two weeks there was almost a daily snowfall in the Little Cottonwood Canyon. The conditions were either perfect or nearly perfect, which gave me enough time to hone the tele-turn in the waste deep snow. My powder skiing skills went from “better”, to “I am too tired", to “my quads are burning and I can’t ski anymore”. On Sunday my friend Bill Tatton ripped down the Devil’s Castle (curving a text book tele-turns) and made the “Picture of day” on Alta’s Web Site. I was skiing right behind him, but didn’t make the cut. Bill has lived in Utah for almost 20 years and skied here even longer. I am guessing that fame is based on seniority and my picture could be going up on Alta's site some time in the next 20 years, if I stick around.
