Touring in Utah

The snow has been great these past couple weeks and I lucky to get out and enjoy it. Below are two days that I went out last week to hike around and stretch my legs with my new split board.

The first day was with Tim Lewin and Ravi Altman where we started our hike from the White Pine lot in Little Cottonwood. Tim had an app on his phone that recorded our elevation change and all types of other things. For this particular tour, we climbed around 4,800ft. I was definitely feeling the burn towards the end but it was nice to be outside enjoying the great weather.

Not very scenic but we'll take what we can get.

Run 1 was a quick one but still really fun.

Heading to the next run.

Run 2 was a nice mellow run all the way to that little road in the background.

Day 2- Rachael Burks  and I headed up little cottonwood again to gets some more runs.

If you look at Rachael's lack of tracks behind her, you'll get a good understanding of how bad the snow was in this spot. At least it looks pretty.
