- Powder Panic! The crowd waits for the Road to Provo to open on a sunny bluebird powder day at Snowbird Utah.
Please subscribe to my channel for more ski madness.
I was ridding up the tram and looked over at the people lining up waiting for the rope to drop the Road to Provo. When I got off the tram I skied over. I saw Snowbird Ski Patrol starting to ski toward the rope just past the top of the Little Cloud Chair. I decided to follow a patroller past the line up of skiers and snowboarders to the rope line. Just seconds later the rope dropped and the race was on for hundreds of skiers to get first tracks on Road to Provo. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and had a pretty awesome bluebird powder run! The powder skiing frenzy!
Thank you Snowbird Ski Patrol.

this is the first time that I have watched a video of someone skiing and then afterwards thought to myself that I don't want to go skiing
Yeah, I agree with you. Don't go skiing. :)
I realize it's pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch new series online ?
@Brysen Jasper try flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Kendall Joshua Yup, have been using flixzone for since april myself :D
@Kendall Joshua thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !
God I hope my mountain is never like this
for about 4 inches of fresh.. lol
lmao
Just out of curiosity, what is your mountain? Not trying to talk shit, just genuinely curious. If you don't want to drop the name of it publicly over comments, just PM me!
My mountain is better than your mountain
Tommy Deliso Nuh-uh
This is why I backcountry ski. People pushing each other to get 6" of powder....
But racing other people for powder is so fun while skiing.
Ditto. The skin/climb filters out these types of “powder shredders”
Powder skiing lemmings
huhhman you got me.... I lie on RUclips just to try and impress you. You are my muse.
I push people to get 3in" of powder on the east coast
I somewhat miss skiing in my younger years. Glad I did it when I could. The scenery is incredible!
skiing is awesome! glad I was able to bring you back with the video
that place is way too freaking crowded
Definitely! Go ski somewhere else ;)
Would rather ski local than there any pow day. Untouched pow lines under the lift all day.
OregonKid Productions holywood Ski runs under the lift are the best!
Go to Alta
Yup.
I like to ski places where I don't have to fight for my powder. Bird is not one of them. Even though it has pretty good terrain and conditions.
where is your favorite place to ski?
Japan
Canada, some of the best
Only in America do they make you queue to ride pow...strange
Exactly. There is no queuing in powder skiing
Yup, i was wondering wtf was going on with the rope. When i get off the chair i'm gone.
Its ridiculous!
only in utah you mean
Waiting for a gate to open. We have major avalanche issues at Snowbird
All that effort to ski a few inches of fresh powder on Blue and green runs?
It was totally worth it. Especially if you waited in line for an hour for the rope to drop and it ended up being pillaged before you could drop into your run.
Sorry I called u that just don’t judge something u don’t know anything about
Yeah, there are no green or blue runs at Snowbird once you get above 1000 ft. lol.
@@pooskerwolf9003 uuuuu. Nope. Skied gthe Bird and Alta for many years. This area is a blue. You want 2black, hit the bookends or Peruvian ridge. I've waited for gates to drop, but only at certain places where I knew the payoff was well worth it. This area is worth it for intermediate class skiers to get a great experience for pow. For advanced or expert skiers, not so much worth the wait. You wanna see chaos for pow, go to Alta after a serious dump, and wait for either the backside or high shoulder to open. That is powder hungry dips elbowing each other for the goods.
Ryan Praskievicz lmao, you seemed to skip everyone who seemed to actually be waiting so you could pillage it
I was there 20 or so years ago, standing right next to Dick Bass himself, and he told me that he had waited 25 years for that day, when they dropped the rope on 62" of fresh pow and several hundred yahoos lived it up all morning. I was one of them. Unforgettable!
That is a cool story. Also on the Road to Provo or was it Mineral Basin that he had waited 25 years for?
Great story! My Grandpa started skiing at Snowbird the first year it opened and skied with Dick dozens of times. I’m sure him and Dick are still hitting runs together up there - rumor says that it’s a powder day everyday up there.
I'm so glad I live in Japan. What a nightmare... all for 10 turns in a bowl.
Thanks for the video. I'm watching it while on a cross trainer in London, and it brings back many happy memories of powder days.
Ba ba ba bird bird bird bird is the word.... For 12 years, Snowbird was my home mountain. And some Alta... a little bit of Solitude... and Snow Basin... and Powder Mtn... and okay okay Brighton too... and, and, and. Utah rocks!
I'm sure you had many great powder days skiing during those 12 years!
@@RyanPraskievicz 2011 was HISTORIC. Every other day was a powder day. 690" is what's in the books, but the real number was a locals favorite; 801. 801" was measured on the mountain and is also the area code. I got the t-shirt. That's over 65 FEET of snow. Getting first trax after an Interlodge (People get locked down in the lodge until after mountain safety blows the slide paths) is beyond epic; it's galactic! With skis as wide as water skis, you still plunge waist or shoulder deep with each turn. You ski off a solid 20 or 30' and barely compact on landing. You land straight leg and then blast through your bomb hole. It's just nuts!
I am glad to have ski bummed at snowbird in the late 90's before the internet spread the secret of snowbird. There were some lines at Road to provo but nothing like that! Brings back great memories though. Can't wait for ski season!
The bluebird day after the storm really brings the powder hungry crowds on the Road to Provo. Gotta love the 90's
I remember Alta in the early 80s. Untracked lines for a week after a storm. Twelve bucks a day.
4:20 best moment
hahaha you're so funny lmao
That’s why I don’t ski Snowbird and I don’t fish the Provo. Plenty of places in this state to avoid the tourists and combat skiing and fishing. Enjoy the powder everyone. Glad you’re here.
lemmings...
Nice snow...too many people...glad I'm in Canada!
Where in Canada do you ski? No powder panic north of the boarder?
Gosh this is awful. A snow supermarket. However, sorry mate but your attitude lacks any possible hint of fair-play.
Snow supermarket is a great way to describe the powder panic line up.
Dude that was crazy all of the guys fighting for the pow.....I have never seen it like that!!
it was like a bunch of dogs fighting for a single piece of steak
I cant believe that there are ppl who enjoy this I would litterally go straight back to my car if I saw that crowd... thats the definition of disgusting
More ski time for me then
@@8Maduce50 No, your day is still 24h stupid.
@@MC-ei1sc less people in line means more ski runs or is that to complicated?
@@8Maduce50 From the verb "to complicate" I complicate, you complicate, he complicates... You're so wrong.
@@MC-ei1sc lmao
A lot of negative comments by people who don't realize that this "crowd" was the result of bad planning. The lift should have closed until the avalanche inspection was over. If they opened the lift after the fact, this mountain would have been wide open. I ski Utah all the time (have a place there) and the mountains are big and wide open on most days. In fact, there are a dozen mountains to chose from within a relatively short drive so you can avoid the more "touristy" mountains or "locals only" mountains that tend to very busy on weekends. Ski on weekdays, get on early, and go into the back country. You'll have hours of skiing with virtually no crowds.
this was a bluebird day after the storm when road to provo was the last to open. the twin peaks (pipeline) are directly above the road to provo and are very steep often with huge cornices leading to avalanche hazard. often road to provo is the last terrain to open.
This video made me even more glad to live in Canada
This doesn’t happen in Canada? Where do you ski?
@@RyanPraskievicz i have never seen anything like this in my entire life haha.
I ski in BC and Quebec most times. Both are great skiing and never looks like this.
@@Whymedude888it makes sense that this wouldn’t happen when skiing in Quebec. But I bet it happens in BC.
@@RyanPraskievicz not once have i seen it. Been to many of the biggest mountains in BC and its never ever like this.
@@Whymedude888 maybe some day you will experience the powder panic in person. until then this video should give you a visual of what you are missing lol
Hahaha everybody waiting for powder and then our hero goes after the trails of other skiers 🐣
The other skiers all got caught in the wind drifts
Nice and dry, with a crisp chill. Oh and those lovely sparkly flakes. 👍
wyzapple the greatest snow on earth not to be confused with the neighboring state’s “champagne powder” skiing
I don't know what the big rush was I mean there's no place to really ski work skin it's all flat I don't know I remember seems like this up at steeplechase up at Aspen now that's a worthwhile frenzy waiting for the lines to go down and just skiing I think it's one of the longest steepest runs in North America from what I've been told but that is worth putting on your snorkel for!
Sounds epic
Lmao, I’ll stay in Canada thanks 😂
I saw this ever before i shredded snowbird. Never thought id mKe it there. Thankfully its never been like this when i was there.
A lot of work for a flat run. Disneylands are everywhere.
working for it makes it that much better- the skier cross to the low angle powder add to the overall experience
Glad to ski in Montana
Where in Montana do you ski?
Ha ha panic is right! Goes down like this at Crested Butte too and when there is a hike involved I call it a Chinese Uphill!
oh nice. I would love to capture the Chinese uphill on camera
what a the f%€k is a Chinese uphill?
D
No better than black Friday. I'll go hike in the backcountry by myself over this
Jonathan Kosyjana backcountry, back bowls, resort rope drops, deep powder it’s all fun.
Being a Californian who’s never skied out of state, powder sounds like a nightmare lmao. I grew up on ice and slush 😂
Where in California do you ski?
@@RyanPraskievicz probably Tahoe
@@RyanPraskievicz big bear! Not including mammoth hahahaha
That is why I started doing backcountry in the early 80's.
Hahah that guy at 116 was like frantically walking in place and you were like fuck that bro I'm going around
It is almost like in the frenzy for powder they forget how to ski
30 seconds of freshies. well worth it
always worth it for the snow and chaos
such an amazing video, u got the jackpot there brother
Sometimes you get lucky. Watching the video makes me excited for the upcoming ski season. Where do you ski?
I live on the east coast and went to school in VT so I have been all over here, but i have been to breck once and copper2x
Killington in Vermont is my home mountain. I live in Salt Lake City now. If you've never been skiing in Utah you should check it out.
Way to fight for your line. And that was not bad I seen that road to Provo get real crazy with a foot or more.
Road to Provo is an experience
I skied Snowbird on high school spring break in 1995 from Norfolk, Virginia... it dumped 6-8 inches of powder overnight every night, and was blue bird during the day everyday... I was like, "where the hell am I this place can't be real?"...
the legend is amazing and true. glad you had such a great experience skiing at snowbird. have you been back sense '95?
There is no such thing as "dumped 6-8 inches." That is a dusting.
That bowl is always amazkngt
I have to admit, as someone who has stood in line at the front of the rope for 45+ minutes waiting for it to open, I got a little pissy just watching this video of you cutting to the front; not to mention it looked like the people in front of you knocking into each other seemed rather rude...for what? A couple hundred yards of untracked? The run did make me jealous I admit, but be courteous.
Yeah. I know there are no friends on power days but there was alot of less than exemplary behaviour in that video. And of course hardly any examples of trying to minimize lines so others can have some fun (Ryan did at least semi follow lines on a couple occasions, and I did spot ONE pair of matched powder turns).
Can't say I'm surprised, just bummed. Frankly not a bad sub-example of why the whole world is fucked these days. Everyone wants it all, and bitches when they don't get it, but no consideration to others who are in the same boat. All entitlement, no responsibility.
Glad other people were upset about the same thing. That was Black Friday chaos. Really glad I've never had to work that hard (i.e. cut in lines) to find untracked lines. Although those sweeping vistas of virgin snow gave me a half chub.
Agree. No friend in power day but there are still rule, order and civilization
I thought everyone knows rule number 1 of a powder day: there are no friends on a powder day.
Eagle_Jizz you lack knowledge or are just a stuck up human This is a free for all mountain nobody was waiting on anything.
Dude I was legit one of the people in the front of the line. That was an awesome day
yeah fun run. hopefully you made some good turns and I didn't mess up your run
This looks like hell I pray my mountain never gets like this
this is easy to avoid. just don't wait for the rope drops for hours. the rest of the mountain was a ghost town that day.
utah is easily the best place to ski if you like deep powder and no crowds, speaking from experience
It can be very good. Resort days when it is snowing are better than bluebird days after the storm. They are much less crowded and offer free refills
I feel blessed that I already had the luck to track faces like this and even better ones all by myself ♤♡◇♧
You are one of lucky ones
I love how the audio matched what is going on in the video.
what do you mean?
@@RyanPraskievicz Tension and buildup in the music from 0:00 to 0:37 showing all the crowd. The music starts to flow from 0:38 to 0:52 as you work your way to the front of the line. Tension builds again in the music until the explosion of the rope drop between 1:07 and 1:12 where everyone is scrambling. The intensity increases until you get finally get around yellow jacket at 1:20 and you are moving again, to the front. The music becomes flows again as the last green jack guy drops in around 1:53. Clamness again at about 2:26 when you float through the powder. Solitude at 2:40. A hit at 3:10 when you drop again. I have to wonder if you edited the music or if I am just reading this into what I am seeing and hearing.
@@RyanPraskievicz Are you a local? Do you do any snowmobile skiing? I've found that is the easiest way to get to the powder. But it looks like you enjoy fighting the crowd. :)
Been there! It's why I stopped riding the Bird!
Definitely can be quite the hassle on big powder day when resorts are reporting over 1 foot and it is bluebird
Wow. I’ll never understand why people think that is fun.
It was fun
Thanks for the great video! I live in New England and we have an experience like this every Sunday. Our resorts are MUCH smaller than yours in Utah but just as crowded it seems. Also we rarely (if ever) have beautiful powder snow like you guys do, im jealous!
Thanks Rusty. Where do you ski in New England. I've had some great powder days at Killington and Sugarloaf too.
Ryan Praskievicz As a local i will let you in on the best spots: Stowe and Smugglers Notch can both be considered the toughest terrain and most challenging. Jay Peak is known for its amazing tree skiing and glades. Last but not least are Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, great places to visit bearing in mind that all of them combined still coudn't fit in one resort out west! Hidden gems are Stratton and Magic Mountain.
@@rustyshackleford3278 Good takes on everything here, EXCEPT I wouldn't call Stratton a hidden gem. Place is packed.
@@BW-pr8qr you are right, for sure! Magic Mountain nearby is the real gem
To all the people complaining about the 'line'..if you look carefully at the video, you can see the 'front' of the line is on the ridge, but there are tons of people down the side of the ridge and a few up top of the ridge as well waiting...pick your 'line' to get to the pow. If you don't want to go above or below the ridge, then go wait in the back, pretty simple.
I didn't realize there was a line to ski down the mountain
Everyone should experience 'powder panic' on road to provo at least once in their lifetime.
Do you agree? Have you experienced the powder panic on the road to Provo while skiing Snowbird?
Ryan Praskievicz I have indeed and it was an experience unlike no other! 😂
The trick is to wait for the initial crowd to go by who usually turn in early and keep heading out over the rocks at KnuckleHead Traverse. Most people are not willing to billygoat over rocks so its fresh almost all day. High Baldy traverse is harder to get to but there is almost never lines on that one, steeper and better terrain too.
Beautiful. Love Snowbird . . .
Glad you enjoyed it. Snowbird is great. It was a beautiful day of skiing
There is nothing like a Road to Provo or Mineral rope drop. It's such a Snowbird experience and it's such a thrill every time.
Every skier must experience the powder panic once in their life!
Good video
Great skiing!!
That was fun
thanks happy you enjoyed it. have you ever experienced at rope drop at Snowbird?
NOOOO THANK YOU! Too many people
Thanks for the reminder why I have a splitboard and sled
Glad to help
Never seen this sort of behavior here in Canada at ski hills. Mostly everyone treats each other with civility and respect. But different cultures in different countries, i imagine.
How about Europe? A lift line in Europe is an experience...
@@RyanPraskievicz never seen this in Europe.
I mean there's peak season lift lines because most schools get off the same two weeks, but they are just long not anarchistic.
@@1makes1 haha are you calling the powder panic in the United States anarchy on the ski hill?
The music seems to capture the vibe.
Which vibe was that?
rolling at my dude in green nearly buy it on his first turn at 1:51 lmao
Once I got passed him I was by myself. He probably hit a rock on that first turn 🤦♂️
LoL. And to know I was barely over two hours north skiing lift served powder all day without a line. You guys have it good.
where were you skiing? how deep was it?
Jerries should not be allowed to waste powder. Sad
It is an all you can eat powder buffet
The size of those drifts is nuts!!
yeah they can get pretty crazy on the Road to Provo when it is windy
To all the people here who are calling him a bitch for cutting the line, I think you all have the wrong idea. This isn't a line for a chairlift, it's a line on the flat ground to the traverse. This is powder, you go where you need to be to ski it whenever you can. you don't necessarily have 'rights' to it because you stood there first. If you want powder, especially at a place like snowbird, you have to go out and get it. Great vid, keep up the good work.
If you want good powder in the usa go to whitefish montana.
the goal of the video was to show how ridiculous these rope drops and line ups are getting. it was a fun run with good snow but probably not worth waiting in line for an hour.
Glad I live in AK. The pow is all mine! Hoohoohoohoohaha😁
No powder panic skiing in AK? Where do you ski?
@@RyanPraskievicz not like this...Girdwood
@@fatamorgana4318 sweet. hope you are having an epic season up there!
@@RyanPraskievicz ya mon, today was the 17th consecutive day of snowfall on the top of the mountain. Looking good for Spring skiing. ⛷

lot of snow snakes
@@RyanPraskievicz drunk snow nightmares
Looks like black Friday shopping, no thanks. I like the solitude of me and the mtn. Not a rat race.
Agree. You could easily choose any of the other runs at Snowbird which at that time were nice and empty.
@@RyanPraskievicz absolutely 👍
Who's in charge of the music
You're fired
haha what song would you pick for the video?
@@RyanPraskievicz You dont need music.
The last 15 seconds was nice
@@RyanPraskievicz Not elevator disco
@@peterwinters8587 what is your music choice?
glad we ski in Japan. Looks like peak hour traffic
Where in Japan do you ski? I did some resort and touring on Hokkaido 2 winters ago. It was really fun
We have skied in Niseko and recently in Myoko.
Glorious pow. So good!
I wonder how long the traffic jam was on the approach highway?
haha on that day traffic wasn't too bad. i think everyone on the mountain decided to line up for the rope drop. the rest of the mountain was a ghost town
Absolutely ZERO coincidence this video length is 4:20
I think it’s 100% coincidence
This is so funny : D. Ski Mountaineering for the win ; )
Johannes didn’t anyone ever tell you the resort back bowls are even better than skimo in the backcountry? So many friends to ski with in the back bowls.
But it takes away all the fun part of actually getting up the mountain :(
I thought going down the hill was the fun part of skiing
Lets agree, both is fun ;)
agreed- all skiing is fun
lolz at your "deep" powder
- Colorado skier
It was ankle deep for sure.
It's well known in the well educated ski world, Utah gets more pow than Colorado will ever dream of. Of course, you could always look up the info, Utah, by default of FACTS, gets more snow, and more frequently than CO. but, I do like skiing the basin, and crusty butt.
@@naturalsettings7098 crested butte is epic in Colorado. The hidden gem for the Colorado mountains. Snowbird in Utah and Crested butte had to be two of the best for me this season. And I hit 69 different mountains this season before Rona hit.
Fresh tracks..
Yeah definitely a few fresh powder turns. Was it worth the panic?
Guess it depends if your able to be patient and find the right run..Looked like quite a few good lines about half way down that top ridge trail..
Thank god I live in France, this was hard to watch
this doesn't happen at ski resorts in France?
@@RyanPraskievicz I have never in my entire life seen anithing like this
@@leoblaschek1502 powder panic
People don't tend to queue for powder in the Alps, they just go off early to find it before the 'casual tourists' arrive.
@@AndyRoo312 the on and off piste skiing culture is definitely different in Europe.
This is the exact reason I only backcountry ski now. So done with the crowds.
yeah crowds seem to flock to the resort bluebird powder skiing.
Black Friday skiing😂
yeah it was like they were giving away free tvs
Lmao I remember this I was here still love snowbird my fav
“Deep powder” lol
the gopro make everything look smaller and less deep...
The fact that the video is 4:20 long is a win in its own
No thanks
Just say no to the crowded powder panic when skiing
Wish i was there that looks heavenly!
Andrew Jensen March is a great time to come ski at Snowbird an experience the heavenly bluebird conditions yourself. As Warren Miller said “If you don’t do it this year you’ll be a year older when you do”
Avalanche danger is extremely high on that side of the mountain. The wait is to allow them time to set charges and survey the dangers.
yep lot's of hang fire from above in Pipeline and off the Twins into the Road to Provo traverse.
One of the reasons why I quit skiing at resorts. I enjoy backcountry skiing where you have to climb to earn your turns.
Totally 💯 both resorts and touring have their pluses and minuses
wow they all got way over excited for a less then thrilling run . i mean im down for a hand ful of fresh turns on thirty degree slope any day, but im not about to get agro over it.
shawn hess Road to Provo rope drops at Snowbird on bluebird powder days...
This is what east coasters do on Halloween for boiler plate
Thanks for the video. Always wanted to ski snowbird. After seeing these crowds I think I'll stick with Mammoth n Tahoe.
good tactic to avoid the powder panic
Ha, Mammoth and Tahoe don't have anything close real powder, just sierra cement. And talking about crowded...can be in a 45 minute line to get on a lift and then the drive around the lake is an hour. I can say this with a fact as I lived there most of my life... and then got wise moved to Utah and CO. The best thing you can say about west CA skiing is that you can ski in a t-shirt and jeans
I’m from New Hampshire, I learned to ski when I was 5 but I wouldn’t like to ski in such deep powder🎿
If you learned how to ski in New Hampshire on the ice you could definitely ski powder and have fun doing it at Snowbird.
Good call. Utah sucks anyways. It never snows and the terrain is horrible. Maybe I'll try the back bowls at Breck.
Has there ever been a better ad for at bindings
Maybe 🤔?
The Bird sucks! You won't see people pushing each other for pow unless Little Cottonwood is closed and you all come to Brighton! Go to Solitude! Actually don't go there either. PC will welcome you with open arms.
One star only at Snowbird.
pc will welcome you with open arms and 1/2 the daily snowfall totals... and they won't open their good terrain until ages after the storm...
GOD I love skiing!!!!!
Right! Skiing is so much fun
Your skis were too narrow to float
Guess the 195 cm Armada JJ AK is no longer going to cut it. What would you recommend?
@@RyanPraskievicz Pescado or Sakana float extremely easy even at lower speeds
@@TJIzzy Armada AK JJ, 195cm
Dimensions (mm): 131-141-120-138-12
@@RyanPraskievicz 158-125-144 + Swallowtail wouldn't float a lot better? lol
@@TJIzzy swallowtail was what I was missing. Best skis I’ve skied for float ever were the armada args. Trying to ski back to the lift on the groomer was a challenge but they ripped in the powder
This looks fun. I actually think this is better than backcountry skiing. It's like a big party. LOL. I will stay in SLC this winter and hope to experience this once.
Party skiing.... I like that. I hope you have a great trip to Salt Lake City this winter and get to experience a deep powder ski day.
It’s not a party..it’s a race and it’s exhausting..combat skiing at its finest
Snowbird is awesome, but didn’t like the line cutting and super lame music choice...
what about the skiing?
Right on, rude line cutting
Awesome !! I want more !! I can "feel" it......love being there for the rope drop ! Thank you for sharing this !!
Looks like a raid from world of warcraft
I was thinking it looked like lemmings, but I can see world of warcraft too.
Ryan Praskievicz the music fits perfect for an "early 2000s" raid video montage
ROFL!
I’ve been asked what’s the secret to powder skiing? I tell them GO FIRST. 😮😂
Damn that was pretty f’d up to step in front of people like that 🖕🏻
There was space to ski and people who got caught up with each other and snow drifts. The isn’t a lift line. You can ski up to the rope line and drop in
was this a weekend or weekday?
Weekend
But this happens on weekdays too. A lot of people who ski live in the Salt Lake Valley. When it snows it seems like no one works. Weekday or weekend.
@@RyanPraskievicz that’s pretty insane, but floating on a powder cloud is quite a feeling. not sure it’s worth stepping on other folks though...
@@zephyr707 definitely not worth stepping on anyone but skiing around them should be fine right?
@@RyanPraskievicz haha true, there were def some ski over ski action, but doesn’t look like anyone was hurt. hard to be angry when you are surfing a cloud
And this is why you go to alta instead
but only if you are a skier right? does alta have a tram yet?
@@RyanPraskievicz No but they don't need one, it's more for tourism. But yeah, only skiers!
@@LJ-un1hb what about the back bowls?
@@RyanPraskievicz You mean mineral basin? That's one of my favorite spots in the world. Obviously Snowbird's an incredible mountain but there's just something special about Alta
@@LJ-un1hb oh yeah so many great places to ski in and off piste in Little Cottonwood.
Now that skiing is too expensive I cant go anymore. I've been skiing every year for the past decade at crystal mountain. This helps.
Glad you enjoyed it. You should try ski touring the only cost of entry is the gear.
deep powder?!???!
pathetic shallow powder is a better description...
I guess you had to be there. Everything looks smaller on the GoPro.
