For me, a lot of my motivation to ski a line comes from seeing it. What I love about living in the Wasatch is that there are so many skiable peaks that you can see from the city. You can scout your lines as you run errands. In the case of Cold Fusion, it was on a drive down the I-15 to a party at Sundance. The line looked perfect that day, and I couldn’t get it off my mind.
This spring, I made a goal to ski all the 3 stars lines in “The Chuting Gallery.” I’ve had a trusty copy of this book since I was 16 and ever since I can remember, I’ve always craned my neck out the window on the drive up Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons to gawk at all the big chutes and mountaintops around.
With spring in the air and avalanche instabilities mostly settled out, it’s time to tackle some of the biggest line objectives in the Wasatch and beyond. (more…)
I just finished up a Zeal Optics shoot in Burgdorf. Being a girl in the ski industry, I often hang out and travel with men. Usually I prefer to have at least one other female in the group, but on this trip, I was stuck in man camp. It was actually quite fun and thankfully, I had a small private girls cabin to retreat to.
