...the New Frontier

It may be June 13, but it feels like mid winter in the Uinta Mtns, just east of Park City and the crowded peaks of the Wasatch. Mirror Lake Highway opened this week, providing much easier access to the largest range in the state of Utah, a range that is usually overlooked due to its limited access during the winter months. After a good freeze last night, I decided to introduce myself to this expansive wilderness with a climb of the moderately tame Mt. Murdock. I was flying solo so I was perfectly happy keeping my lines as tame as possible. I managed to get in 3 runs before the snow got a bit sloppy at about 10:30am...it is mid-June after all.















The two north facing runs of the day with beautiful corn skiing around 10am.
