Got to Brighton this morning and had some great runs. Too late for most of the powder though - gotta get here early to hit that. Looks good for tomorrow - forecast is calling for 2 feet tonite!

I hit a nice run today and got in some deep stuff. Tried to make a turn and didn't quite pull it off. Nate said all he saw were my ski boots sticking out of the snow. Uncle Jim was right - the snow is deep in Utah!

Good times.
