Life Since Japan

IMG_5389

The day I got home, I got a call to go heli skiing to do a photo shoot.  Unfortunately, United Airlines left my ski bag in San Francisco, so after some frantic phone calls, I got my skis on the next flight and picked them up at the airport at 10 pm before an 8 am heli.

The snow in the Wasatch has been so good and making some long heli runs was the perfect way to return.

Sunny days at Snowbird.  It was almost like springtime.

Skied 3 days at Snowbasin for a Roxy on snow demo.  Did some fun runs down Mt. Ogden.

After Snowbasin, I came down with some illness, but I’m feeling better now and scouting lines for an upcoming photo contest, the Ski Salt Lake Shootout, that I’m doing with photographer Alexa Miller (www.alexamiller.com).

But I do miss Japan and can’t wait to get back to Niseko:
