I’m still gathering footage for a full edit (HelmetCast 14), but to carry over the space between here is some B-Roll footage from Alta on Monday.

One quick lap through Eagle’s Nest-

Skied Solitude Saturday with the Nik Aksamit (axe-a-mit). Junk show pictures coming soon.

Line I skied/billy-goated off Fantasy Ridge at Solitude on Saturday.

Time Lapse taken while Nik was hiking back up after I got down.

^Ladies…take note of how artsy I am…

Ullr! 100″ or bust.

There’s nothing better than sliding down snow, flying through the air…
Shane McConkey

I’m at a loss for words at the moment. Skiing has lost one of it’s greatest icons today as Shane McConkey died today in a ski-base jumping accident in Italy. I feel sick.

Shane, you are a hero to the sport and you will be missed everyday by freeriders all over the world. Thank you for all that you’ve done. You are a legend.

Winter is back in Utah and I’m stuck in the library
Planning on skiing tomorrow, I heard it’s deeeeeeep in the mountains.

I doubt it shows up in this picture (from my phone), but it’s dumping outside.

Ullr! 19″ down, 81″ to go (for this storm)!

Interesting how different that looks on video than I imagined it in my mind. I saw myself going twice as fast and forgot all about getting lost getting to that double at the bottom.

Thanks again to Ollie for putting that up on the interwebs for me!
