Day 16
Conditions: Powder/packed powder
Location: Snowbird, Utah
The last day of our Utah trip and it couldn’t have been more bittersweet. It was a fantastic trip with incredible snow, but it’s also the last time we’ll be riding for a while. Dirk has bicep surgery in just a few days and January and February will be shot as far as riding goes.
We hopped around from Mineral Basin to Little Cloud. It was soft everywhere, and there was no one around because everyone was sleeping off New Year’s Eve.
Our last run felt sad and we both had to stop before finishing the run to process the moment. We’re just getting into mid-season form and we have to take time off. But, there will be many more days, and the surgery does need to happen – Dirk’s arm still looks awful.
We got a great shot of the Tram during a particularly sketchy traverse
Highlight:
Mineral had a few inches of fresh on top of the powder from yesterday, making the moguls smooth and forgiving.
Lowlights:
Leaving.
Après Ski:
We loaded the car and headed to Kearney, Nebraska before making our fway home.
Days to go: 34
