Backcountry Boarding Big Cottonwood Canyon

By Jake Jan 7, 2008

Our friends over at Ride Utah packed up and decided to go ripping down the hills of Big Cottonwood Canyon.

On New Years Day I got myself out of bed and went on my first backcountry excursion with my buddy Scott. We started at Solitude and hiked up over Fantasy Ridge (probably one of the gnarliest “in-bounds” hikes you’ll come across in the United States, to access Silverfork Canyon to the west of Solitude. The snow was fabulous and the sun was out.

Looks like they had a great time. For more info, check the original post.
