Winter is upon us in the Wasatch. Here's my ode to the anticipation, featured in Powder Magazine.
Alta Radio
Recording live from the Peruvian Lodge in Alta, UT, Alta Radio debuted this winter. Here's the audio interview and story I conducted for Powder Magazine.
Winter Finally Here...
It has been some time since I updated the blog... Preparing for the season and some writing projects kept me at bay. I'll be updating some recent publications during the next week. However, it looks like winter is finally here in the Wasatch, albeit with a slight stutter this week. Here's a piece I put together for Mountain Advisor highlighting Alta's opening of new terrain.
Soul Pow
Powder skiing is good for the soul. While it haunts skiers' dreams as we swelter in the heat awaiting autumn's first frost, the notion of powder days make every 100 degree day tolerable. This season, I only took out the GoPro a handful of days and had some fun days filming with friends. The edit is called Soul Pow, because that's what I shot, fun powder skiing that's good for your soul...
Green Tomatoes and May Powder
Spring in the Wasatch was a constant fight between winter and summer. Late April storms growing the snowpack and sporadic bursts of snow into May helped prolong the dry heat that has already begun. While it's time for summer floats and backpacking excursions into the mountains, the last few weeks of May helped bridge the crave for cold powder until October. Here's a short piece I wrote for Powder regarding this cycle called Green Tomatoes.
Just a few days after the story went live, we were treated to one more storm. Thanks winter, we'll see you next year!
Alta Pow
Last week the Wasatch received a great late season storm cycle, luckily for DPS rider Olof Larsson he arrived from Engelberg just in time to schralp some pow. Here's a little edit from a powder-filled morning at Alta!
First Snowfall at Alta

The Wasatch range of Utah experienced their first snowfall of the season this past Tuesday. While the sun will most likely melt the early flakes, I couldn't resist from getting up there and snapping a few shots... Here's to a snowy and safe ski season.

Alta Wildflowers

In the summer, Alta's powdery slopes transform into a wildflower mecca. Anna and I headed up towards Cardiff Ridge, Flagstaff, and into the Devil's Castle to check it all out. Before we know it, the leaves will be changing into their autumn cloak and snow will be flying...
