Timpanogos Slain

I don't want this to turn into Tyson's Blog, but I thought I needed to share some pictures of us skiing Timpanogos. Me and three of my friends hiked up from Aspen Grove and skied the front side of Timpanogos on Mon. the 13th. Something every skier in Utah Valley dreams of doing right? It definitely is what dreams are made of, one of the coolest things I've ever done! The skin up wasn't too bad and the snow was stable so avalanche danger was very low. It took about 4.5 hours to get to the saddle (check picture)
This kind of shows our line, I forgot to take a picture from the bottom, so this is the best I could find online. The first couple of turns were crusty, but then it got soft and really fun for a few turns before the first cliff band. After that the snow deteriorated and we skied some weird crusty-punchy-icy-but-still-very-fun-snow to this gully at the top of Dry Canyon. The gully was super fun because it was softer and there were all sorts of little things to jump off and play around on. All in all, the run down took about 45 minutes. We stopped a lot and soaked in what we were doing.
