Headed up to Solitude today, but the legs were a bit noodly, so I took it easy; a few runs on the front side, then a nice run through Honeycomb Canyon, dropping from the lower traverse below Prince of Wales Mine … then stopped at a few pullouts on the way back down the canyon [...]

Fab time at Solitude Mountain Resort today; felt really good to get up out of the gunk, breathe some fresh, clean air and carve a few turns. Because it hasn’t snowed in several days, there was very little powder to be found … lots of crud and breakable crust, but Woodlawn (down the middle of [...] 
Bluebird day at Solitude Mountain Resort today … Honeycomb Canyon, January 2, 2011 Honeycomb Canyon, January 2, 2011 Photos shot with Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.

Put in for a vacation day [...] I took my Garmin Edge 305 up to Solitude with me today, just to see where all I skied on a topo map, as well as to keep track of how far I actually skied.

Part of the Honeycomb Cliffs, shot from above Prince of Wales. … I’ve discovered that it’s possible to have an absolutely shitty day up on the slopes.
