With Whom: Bob Athey (www.wowasatch.com) and Mark White
Time: 8am to 6pm
Ski Conditions: It seems like we skied just about everything there is to ski in between big cottonwood canyon and millcreek canyon today. I know there is a lot more to be skied, but we definitely skied a good portion of it. We skied deep pow, wind blown, and just about everything in between.
The thing about Bob is that he keeps a steady pace all day long and never stops to rest. We were basically skinning or skiing for 10 hours straight. I feel like I am a pretty fit 25 year old, but it was all I could do to just keep pace with this cigarette smoking 56 year-old man. I had a blast doing it, though. I skied a bunch of new lines that I have done skied before. Bob and I chatted about photography and computer geek stuff for the majority of the day. Check out his blog post for the day here: http://wowasatch.com/Journal%202008-09/January-09/january-29.html - I am the one wearing the red in the photos.

Does it look to anyone else like that plane is going to crash?
I thought this looked like a Christmas tree with the light the way it was.
The final climb out to Gobblers - this is where I was just absolutely exhausted.
We stand on top of the world at around 5:30.
The Wizard shreds.
You take some sweet ass pictures, that is all I have to say!!
