As the ski season began to wind down, the steeps around Park City heated up--the snow was deep enough to cover the double black runs, and the skiing was great.

A number of instructors at Deer Valley made it over to Big Cottonwood Canyon in the spring for some powder days.  We hit both resorts: Brighton and Solitude.

This cliff under Millie Lift at Brighton is MUCH bigger than it looks.  Buddy dropped off it and got a nice concussion for his troubles.

Afternoon at Brighton after surviving some ill-advised runs through Hidden Canyon--the powder was awesome though
