Pictures 12/02/2010
I was hoping that I would have a chance to edit some of my thanksgiving footage before my final exams snuck up on me. I failed. I will get some editing done over Christmas. Brighton received something like 50" of snow the week of Thanksgiving. It made for some excellent skiing. Every lift on the mountain was open by Thanksgiving day. That does not happen often. What else does not happen often? Skiing powder this deep in November. This first picture is from Wednesday, November 24th. The high temperature that day was -1F. With wind chill it was dipping down closer to -27F. It was definitely one of the colder days that Utah sees.  This next shot is from Thanksgiving day. I rode with Mitch Potter for most of the day that day. My brother in law, my sister (his wife) and his brother were all too lazy to come up that day. Boy did they miss out! Millicent at Brighton opened early and there was plenty of powder, pillows, and cliffs to be had by all. This picture is from one of my last runs of the day. It is a little pillow line on Mt. Millicent. It obviously isn't the steepest or sketchiest pillow line in the world, but it was A LOT of fun!  Wish me luck with finals, and keep your eyes out for reviews of the Surface New Life skis, POC receptor helmet, POC Lobes Goggles, POC cornea goggles, Columbia Powder Bowl jacket, and the Backcountry Access Squall pack! I will have those posted soon! Add Comment Currently Editing 05/08/2010
I didn't stay as organized as I wanted to this winter so I am in the middle of compiling footage before making an edit. I will post some pictures below to hold you through until then. Watch for another installment of Brady's Helmet Adventures to drop here tomorrow as well as an edit from skijosh.com next week!

Lots of Snow 03/06/2010
The mountain weather has changed a lot in the last week. From February 25th through March 6th we have had quite a bit of snow roll into the Wasatch Mountains. I have some great helmet camera footage that I am going to post as soon as I run through all of it, but in the meantime, here are some pictures from this last week! These first few pictures are from a pillow that Jeff and I found in LCC. It got pretty much demolished.

It is a screenshot of a video from my GoPro. This chute is called death chute. The cliff on the entrance has some sketchy teeth on it. After landing below this drop, I ended up clipping my ski on the rock on the right side of this photo, whch sent me into a double tomahawk. My skis didn't come off and I was able to ski out of it, but it was somewhat scary for sure. Video from this will be in my next update.  Death Chute Entrance -skijosh.com |   |
