Good times: Snowmobiles, Skis, Helicopters

Even with a low~tide snowpack, we have started to dive deeper into the backcountry.  This week was especially kick~ass, as it involved my snowmobile's first Brrrrapp of the season, going heli-skiing with good friends, and shredding Alta/Snowbird with amazing skiers!

Life is good...

Enjoy.
