A Weekend of Powder Skiing // Utah Backcountry Skiing // Powder Park and Willow Fork

Спорт

Subscribe! This weekend was our first big storm since early November! With about one to two feet of snow falling around Utah and the Wasatch, Elena and I decided to check out some low angle (less than 30º) touring in Big Cottonwood. On Saturday we skied Powder Park in upper Mill D, and then Sunday we skied Willow Fork. Definitely loved both areas!

    Getting into AT and I really like your realistic videos! A lot of AT videos are extreme and intimidating to those new to it. Keep these videos rolling!

    Good to see you moved to Utah. Lot of good talent out there, and a lot of great skiing, wherever there is snow, you can ski, so don't let anything hold you back.

    @@MacLeanWright I like your style or editing. Music selection is always fire too. Maybe my only suggestion is keep the videos shorter like this one

    Love the video I've been skiing my whole life used to be a ski instructor if you don't mind can I recommend keeping your hands in front and above your knee caps above your waist at all times and when your making pool plants like if you are punching a punching bag it will bring your whole body forward instead of leaning back on your turns also less painful and less work and I always tell people pretend there is a marble in between your big toes when you make a turn that's where you want to put the pressure on hope that helps thanks for the video be safe take care.
