This was our last stop on Arturo's ski road trip

Day #1 was great, awesome pow for the location, we spent most of our time at Strawberry Bowl:

lots of lines to be had

The runs were wonderful:

Day #2 was still good, less pow, but still plenty of good snow:

we took the tram to John Paul Ridge

great view

lots of pow, still

After 4 days in Utah on Arturo's ski road trip, our next stop was Crested Butte in Colorado.

Crested Butte is not a mountain for beginners, and a bit on the bony side, but very interesting terrain. We got to meet Karl and Suwei:

great views

good pow on the sides, but you had to pay the price of getting back

the tow ropes were there to weed snowboarders :)

before the ride down

then the hike back up

Wanna smoke some rocks, dude

we went for banana to find some powder

Then another hike to another run: spellbound (hike was not that fun):

arturo didn't even make it to the beginning of the descent :)

it was a fun run down, with another hike to get out at the bottom

After a 2 day drive, this was our first stop on Arturo's ski road trip

We were in a yotelpad, small, but close to the lift:

nice cell phone tree

So much powder:

The trees were good:

Day #2: was lots of snow:

the next day, there was a bit of a line to get up, 45mn+

but pow!

did I mention snow?

The trees in the morning were lovely:

So much pow:

I went back to the trees and found lots of things hiding under the snow and got my snow pants ripped out :)

The powder in the other trees, was ridiculously good:

Day #3 was a bluebird:

even more lines

Day #4, we went to Park City:

still pow

stupid guy that kept photobombing my pictures

After a while, I got tired and took the traverse gondola back to Canyons:

big valley between

mid station where you could ski back down to either mountain

back to Canyons

a few crossing lifts

nice views
