Xtreme Team intro...

Well, we're nearing the end of a truly epic wasatch winter, ..and bad wasatch winters are epic by other mountain ranges' standards. My friend Dennis comes out each year in search of powder. Without exception, when he comes here to ski, it's the worst conditions of the year, sunny, warm, with virtually no new snow. When he comes here to hike/mtn bike, it's cold, and usually snows. We call ourselves the Xtreme Team, ..a division of the men's club. Please see exhibits A and B for our previous adventures.


This year was looking like another year of dissapointment for Dennis. When he arrived it was the worst conditions of the year, but they still weren't bad given the epic season. He went down to moab to take a level 2 avy course in the La Sals. As expected, the la sals were having an awful season, with only 15" on the ground at 10,000ft.


When he came back up to slc, however, something happened, a miracle of sorts .....it started to snow.


Then it snowed more..

Then we finally had a legitimate bottomless powder day, with some sun!



This past weekend we headed up to the Bear River mtns for the 3rd annual Xtreme Xpedition, story to come..
