And since it is a leap year we found ourselves leaping into chutes and off cliffs to our delight in the 16” total of new that had come in the last 48 hours. Book you flight now and call in sick, because Utah is getting ILL!

"The most important thing to dropping cliffs is knowing that the snow is good. It needs to be soft and the cliff should have a steep landing with no rocks in it. Jumping a big cliff with a flat landing means that you're most likely going to feel some pain and you're an idiot. You don't need much speed for most cliffs, so make sure you don't overshoot it. Landing is the most difficult part, and I mostly ride pow boards with a short tail so I can have my body weight centered almost forward. Lastly, don't lean back."

After completing the backcountry introductory class in February, I was waiting for the opportunity to get out into the great wide-open and ride some fresh lines. With the perfect storm of March 17 – 19, Brighton Ski Resort received 35” of new snow prompting shredders to get out and ski some amazing, fluffy face shots.

It was an hour before dropping and I had to stomp three cliffs and a hip jump before calling it a day. I reminded myself it’s just another day riding. It just happens to be a day filled with pros, cameras and huge cliffs.
