Epic Day at Work (Why I Love My Job)

Today was one of those days where all is so right in the world. After yesterdays marginal skiing, I was pleasantly surprised to get to work and find that the skiing had transformed into nothing less than amazing. 15" of new, light density, classic Wasatch powder, and few people on the mountain. Not only that, but I was assigned to the best lift on the mountain on a day like today. Paradise lift, which services only Black and Double Black Diamond terrain.

Started the day with a bit of avalanche control, which is always a good way to start the day. After ski cutting a few wind and soft slabs with good result, it was time for the feast. The rest of the day involved pillaging endless amounts of deep Utah powder with too many powder face shots to count. Yeah, perfect, basically. On top of that, the skies parted around 10:30-11am and it was a cold, bluebird pow day. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Here's a few of me in the pow.







And a few of Morgan, a fellow patroller who had the day off.




Morgan's Ski Pole. He's in there deep somewhere.





Good day to catch some air.





This is Morgan after a deep turn. No, he did not fall over. It was that deep and good.



Fellow patroller Charlie in good style.



Um, yeah. So, it was a good day. And another 17" is forecast for tomorrow, and then another storm on Thursday/Friday. I think it's going to be a great week. Just a guess.
