Winter '08-'09 Get Stoked Photo Thread

[tradygirl]

Ladies, I know it's still early, but with October just around the corner and talk of snow dusting Utah and Colorado, it's time to bring the stoke!

Post your favorite pics from last season to help us all drool at our keyboards until the snow comes!

I don't think I have a single picture of me skiing last year, but here's scenery shot I took for some stoke:

Is that from the top of Wolvy or Patsy?? Good god, I can't wait to get up there.....

I don't think I have a single picture of me skiing last year, but here's scenery shot I took for some stoke:

RachelV - thanks! Props to my skiing buddy Matt that day. He really caught the moment. It was SO DEEP. Are you coming out here again this season?

Keep bringing it ladies!! I'm grinning like a fool over here.

Nope - farther North. I'm sure there's a name for it that I'm not remembering.

We skinned up Grizzly Gulch, turned left at the top to follow the ridgeline up.... You're West of Twin Lakes and such but still well East of like Flagstaff... I guess it's still part of Grizzly Gulch, but I'm sure there's a more specific name for that slope that I'm not thinking of.

 

[tradygirl]

Ah, Michigan City. Now I see.

 

[altagirl]

Ah, Michigan City. Now I see.

Thanks! I was trying to find a map online that would show it but not having any luck. The avy path map I found just shows the whole area as Grizzly Gulch, which isn't very specific.

Can't wait to do some dawn patrols with you! So cold in the morning but the air is so clear like that at sunrise it's breathtaking.

A few more I dug up.

A lot of Divas and Bears got together at Copper!

My friend Jjsooner on her very first ski trip!

Here's one from my last hike up Highlands bowl last season...great day!!

 

[skigrl27]

Ok now there it is for real!!

 

[tradygirl]

I need to get to Colorado.

Soon.

The number of sweet lines in that photo is retarded. Is that Pyramid and Maroon Bells?

 

[LilaBear]

These are fabulous photos - thank you for brightening my day.

One day I aspire to ski like you Divas in these pics. I want a face shot of powder (while I'm still skiing), you make it look so glamorous and effortless.

tradygirl, that 2nd pic of you is fantastic.

I agree, your form is so awesome and you are one with the mountain and the snow!

 

[marge]

Wow! Those are some fabulous pictures girls! I'm completely jealous! I love the one at the top of the mountain with what looks like the rainbow.

 

[RachelV]

I like looking at skiing pictures more than working, so here are a few more from the past few years:

Brighton:

The Canyons:

Solitude:

 

[altagirl]

Yeah - Tradygirl - your hiking pics always look so inspiring. Makes me want to ski!

Okay so here are a few powder photos - the first two are of me (thanks Andy for taking pics!) and the last one I took of my friend Rob - I always loved how you can just see the outline of where his skis are pushing the snow up.
