National Geographic Studies Avalanches


Our niece, Anna, skied with us today - the little girl we taught how to ski years ago - now married and moving to Japan in July with her husband, a Marine Pilot. She said more than once today, I wish I still lived here!

National Geographic has been spending the last several days at Snowbasin studying avalanche control. This resulted in Mt. Ogden Bowl staying closed during the last several snowfalls. Wouldn't you know it, we were having lunch at the John Paul Lodge when we noticed a few people traversing out to the untouched expanse... could it be true? The public was invited back in? Yee Ha!! Out we went for a little hiking and traversing to unexpectedly soft snow. It was so fun we did it twice!

Traversing to the good stuff!
