    Nice work... We got up in the first batch of cars before the re-closed the canyon. Snowbird was great, but wish we could have waited to go up and slay that in the pm.

    My sled is good for nothing more than a traction weight in the back of my truck right now... Gotta get the motor running again

    You know sand bags are cheaper for traction weight.

    I want to see a TR of you rebuilding that engine in some sub zero Walmart parking lot in the dark with Anna holding a flashlight for you to see what you are doing.

    So were those pics from Friday? I did a last minute road trip to catch the storm there in SLC. Skied alta on Saturday, not at all the same experience as you had. Lots of new snow, but with the avy danger keeping half the mountain closed, what was open got skied out so fast. And the lift lines were long. Had a better time at Solitude on Sunday, but due to little cottonwood closing till like 10:30 it was slammed there as well, But I was able to hunt down powder much later into the day. Sick pics though!

    You almost called that one Brian. I tore the engine down in the snowbasin parking lot the morning we left for Denver. I got everything back together but there's so much coolant in the bottom of the motor that it won't turn over. Now to get all that coolant out...

    The TR photos were shot on sunday. I do admit that only two lifts were spinning but there was so much freaking snow that even with 20 minute lift lines the resort took all day to track out. It was pretty awesome
