The 100 day barrier has been broken! and I haven’t been updating this page nearly as much as I’ve wanted to, so to commemorate my 100th day I’m starting a new series on my site called, “The B-Roll.” It’s going to contain footage from my helmet cam that I don’t think will make an actual HelmetCast…

…I’m going to upload some footage later tonight and see how it goes. I’m kinda making this whole website thing up as I go so we’ll see what happens…

Alta local, Becky Hall, gets deep off the Mt. Baldy shoulder…

Ullr, back to back 100″ storms? I think you can do it :)

This video was a long time coming :-p
Traveling and high pressure made it tough to get a lot of quality footage in the last month or so, but when winter finally returned to UT, it was well worth it. Close to 200″ of snow has fallen in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the last 3 weeks and more is on the way! This video is of the gray-day footage I have. I’m going to make a blue-bird one in the next week or so as well, so stay tuned!

Thank you Ullr! Keep it coming!

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