April Foolz

Back in the day April Fools used to be a big deal at the Bird. That all went south when word got out what a great party it was. Soon a once locals only event got overrun by valley dwellers with no respect for the mountain. After a few unfortunate events Snowbird banned all costumes on April 1 forever. However, there are a few die-hard old schoolers that still celebrate on the down low. Come take a couple runs with London, Grease, Deadlung, Danky, me and a whole bunch of other Bird Locs. Special thanks to Rebecca Wisot and Dick Bass! Hahaha!!!

Going For a Ride

Man, winter finally decided to show up in the last week and I've been doing my best to take advantage of it while it lasts. The snow has been great but while out for a day of sled-n-shred with Porter and Jess I had a close call. I was riding a small wind loaded chute when the whole thing released and took me with it. I rode the whole way with the debris but managed to stay on top, got spit out the bottom, came to a stop uninjured and unburied but it definitely got my attention. I wanted to put an edit of the whole day together but haven't had a chance so check out a quick look at going for a ride in an avalanche. Be careful out there....
