    That's Butler's Peak! Last I went there, I was 5 or 6 years old, and I'm forty now, but I swear that's the place. We went multiple times and I remember feeling sad the last time we were there because the place was closed. It was always open before then, and I remembered the rangers being really friendly people.

    That is Butler Peak. I haven’t been there since the last huge winter of the mid 2000’s when we climbed up from Highway 18 (front side) and skied the lines dropping down from the peak. If you like steep backcountry stuff, and they get snow like we have this year, this is definitely something for your bucket list. There are actually a few great lines above Highway 18, but now you need to buy an Adventure Pass to park and climb up to ski them.

One question i have is how do you edit the audio so that the video changes on the beat every time. This really adds quality to the finish but seems difficult to achieve through the whole video. I have just downloaded Shotcut to start playing with around with this. a tutorial on this would be amazing. Awesome channel, absolutely loving it!!!
