Just got back from a few days skiing in Utah.  Here’s a few pictures of some new construction(crane pictures are of a hotel being built at Deer Valley, and dream homes that I saw at The Canyons. The last picture is of the author at Snowbasin.  In addition to the helmet, I’m also wearing an avalanche beacon.  Just because it’s fun, doesn’t mean it’s 100% safe.  Avalanche danger was low-moderate, and because of the stability of the snowpack and the mellow angle of the slope(less than 35 degrees), we were able to ski that area with confidence.  And the ski patrol had bombed the hell out of it that morning.  Even on vacation, I can’t escape risk management.
