January or June?

January has been a month of two extremes. "January Part I" was all snow and wind, and was highlighted by many incredible ski days at Snowbird and clear air. In contrast, "January Part II" has been all high pressure, warm temps, and Shanghai-esque air pollution in the valley.

Two days after our Silverton trip  the snow started flying again. It snowed on and off for about 5 days, adding a much needed 2-3 feet of snow. Cole and I toured on the apron of Mount Superior, after deciding too much snow had fallen to try the Suicide Chute. The following day, Zac and I took a DP on the pink pine ridge. Many days were spent at Snowbird.

After the storm, Brian, Cole, and took advantage of the clear skies for our second consecutive month with a full moon tour month in a row, hiking up Little Willow Canyon to the Beartrap Glades. I went on a tour up Butler fork to Reynolds Peak and Soldier Peak and took a few pics.
