Just when I was about to write off winter, another storm hit SLC and gave us another taste of fluffy snow. Without any real plan, the I met Ben and Will at Alex's house for breakfast. While we at some killer french toast, Ben spent his time talking us into a tour that he'd done before. We skinned up Broad's Fork, past the hoards or people gang-banging Bonkers, went over the saddle on the North ridge of Dromedary Peak and dropped into Sidewinder. Despite the sun baking down on us, the snow was pretty damn nice. After a nice long run we put some more calories in our bellies and headed for the BCC/LCC ridge with plans to ski Yer Crazy. Unfortunately, when we got there it was completely clagged in and visibility dropped to about 20 feet. We waited for about a half hour until things cleared enough for Ben, who had done the run several times before, was able to use the extra ten feet of vision to ski the thing and give us a trail to follow to the bottom. Then we skied past Lake Blanch and out the Mill B trail toward the truck and eventually some pretty bad ass beer and burgers. Special thanks to Ben for hijacking our trip and taking us on a kickass tour.
