The snow finally showed up

Its been a while since I've checked in with the Internet crowd, but the snow has taken a turn for the better here in Utah, allowing me to give an update with some adequate pictures and explanation.
As I was walking out my door to drive to Oregon February 6th I sent a last ditch phone call to Rage Films hoping to persuade them to send someone to Utah. Luckily it worked, and AJ de Saint Phalle packed his truck while I unloaded mine. After a few issues with heavy snow and his trailer tires, he showed up 16 hours later.

With my roommate still nursing a broken collar bone, AJ and I sledded around Utah's mountains looking for powder as building jumps isn't a whole lot of fun with two people. Mike Mertion showed up yesterday though so we pushed our pillow lines and powder turns to the back-burner and are busy building jumps in these last few sunny days before a few more storms hit Utah. I hope you enjoy the pictures and are getting plenty of good snow yourself.
And that's why Seo gets paid to take pictures and I dont. Shameless product plug...Thanks guys!
It's only funny because the hill was ten vertical feet, and he's actually good at sledding.


Just rediculous pillows everywhere, and the zone was huge.

And Mertion finally showed up and here's one of the jumps we built.
