Early Season Backcountry Snowboarding from Utah.
This year the Salt Lake area has been pretty spoiled with the snow. I have been snowboarding since late October in the backcountry. I use a splitboard. And my buddy is young enough and dumb enough to use snowshoes.
This past weekend we explored a different canyon and got some nice riding in. It was a gray day and the temps were pretty warm. The approach was really long. We started around 6000ft and ended up at around 9500ft. But it was cool to try out a new area. Has some potential as the snow builds up in the lower elevations.
#1 Gearing up after a break.
#2 The self portrait
3. Getting into the good stuff
4. The view from the top into another canyon. This is a pano of 3 shots. This is the first one of these I have tried in a long time. Elevation close to 9500ft.
#5 Let the fun begin. Found a nice little cornice to play on.
