Wade and I had a really great tour today, good snow, good weather it was pretty good.

We toured in bear trap fork up Big Cottonwood because the avalanche forecast called for considerable danger on slopes over 30 degrees for all aspects and bear trap is less than 30 degrees with a nice mild approach with the final push being up a heavily tree anchored slope.  It was a good little hike though not as long a one as we had planned as we had originally planned to go all the way to the top and hit the more open area we have done in the past.    We decided, instead, to follow the lead of other skiers that day and stick to the heavily anchored aspen groves south of our goal.  its wasn't as open as we would have liked, but the snow was really good and the terrain fun.  Check out the Map for more details on our hike and ski (be sure to click on the "end" to get the topo and stats)

Check out a few more pictures of wade tearing it up.  There is a video I shot with the go-pro too I will post when I get around to editing it.



And lest we forget, the Apres ski.  Anyone who knows Wade and I know we are BIG into the Apres ski scene..... or at least we enjoy eating after a ski. 

Our new hangout, since Lonestar taqueria has become to big for its britches, is back east subs.  I really like a good cheesesteak and these guys are the best.

 
Also, they do wings.


Delicious!
