One of the biggest challenges in backcountry skiing is adjusting mindset to match conditions. We want to get rad and ski the steeps, and we are frothing after a powder deprived winter, but the snowpack structure does not match our desire. Today, with the avalanche danger rated as high, we made the decision to take advantage of Utah’s fine ski resorts and ride terrain that has already been controlled for avalanches. And the smiles lasted all day! Thanks for embracing the right mindset with me, @carolynstwertka and @louisarevalo.
