Looks like we put this one down just in time. I'm more than happy to let these rocks stay covered in snow for the next seven or so months. | PC: @jaydashphotography (at Lone Peak)

The area where I am standing is pretty interesting. Its one of the highest and most westward pieces of rock in the central Wasatch. Opposing this area is the lone peak cirque which channels south winds building from the Utah Valley 6,200 feet below and blasts them west through a gap in the rock to which I am facing. With limited space to move as storms press eastward. Air, moisture and tiny particles of rock caught between the flows swirl in a torrent carving out peculiar shapes in the granite like you see in the sandstone of southern Utah. But this is quartz monzonite (close to granite) ... A very hard igneous stone much stronger than sandstone. So, it becomes clear that the power of the weather here in this unique location, is pretty fucking cool. | Photo: @jaydashphotography | #robscience #geekingout #exploremore #getoutstayout #rockdiscrete (at Lone Peak)

I got a picture from my parents that showed some trails covered in white at Killington resort over the weekend. Sounds like they're open. That's some crazy business. I have mad respect for the dedication of skiers back east. Hopefully they clobbered with another good winter and hopefully we get what we've really needed here in Utah.

4FRNT Flashback Friday. This was taken in 2007, my first year in Utah. I was loaned a pair of VCTs for this little step down session. They had a ton of pop and I had so much fun trying new unnatural spins on this hit. @4frnt_skis @altaskiarea #flashbackfriday #winteriscoming

Back to SLC but not before introducing this epic campsite to the pup. Weather's all time in southern Utah. Have fun if you're out at #rampage ! (at Virgin, Utah)

No caption required for this one.. . Pretty sure it speaks for itself. Great times in SoCal. 📷 @Bregantephoto (at Pacific Beach, San Diego)

Been out shredding foamies teaching my lady how to surf these last few days in Southern California... She killed it and luckily this wave didn't kill her or I'd probably not have myself a girlfriend anymore 😳.. 📷 @bregantephoto Thanks for the pics and the hospitality! #caroadtrip #swell (at Pacific Beach, San Diego)
