that cliff huck was insane !! awsome shots and music !!!

CAn't imagine it getting any better.

thats why i love skiing soooooooo much

You got get a lot of credit. No way could I stand around and film on a day like that. Awesome. Thanks so much!! Ross

I miss the blankets of cold powder every morning, but watching this makes me feel it right now. Excellent.

As a European I was once 2008 one week skiing in Utah; mostly Alta and Snowbird. This was the most incredible skiing i did ever in my life! Nothing in the alps comes close to this!

alta is amazing, i luv shreading up there

This is the sweetest of the deep powder vids. Nice camera, good music, beautiful curves. You can really feel it in your body......Beautiful!

that looks insanely fun

the season is coming up fast, im really excited

OMG this video is amazing...

2021 and still incredible

How I have always remembered Alta. Steep and deep. Always bring your fat skis

Perfect I wish Alta was my home hill, it will be in nine more years when I can leave the east and the ice and hard pack, thanks for the post

Can't wait for winter!!!!

That is straight BLOWER POW!

Nice Vid! How you found friends to film you on a pow day is beyond me. NO FRIENDS ON A POW DAY! Great footage, thanks for posting!

Love Powder Skiing!!!

The best powder on earth, the snow gods have blessed us. Just wish it was in HD

alta and snowbird are the best. Plus Brigthon s got some awesome BC. sweet vid.

oooooooohhhhhhh! fantasticooooo

Perfect

Great video, wish I had been their that day. I don't really have the balls to ski in the blinding powder like that. Nice snow! Nice skiing!

Yeah, you're right. Hiking out of Rocky Point 0:16 Skiing powder at Rock Point 1:15 Back Flip at Rocky Point 1:40 Skiing powder at Rock Point 2:13 BASE jumping off of Hellgate Cliffs 3:01 Other than that, everything else is pure Alta powder.

I skied there last year when they had their all time record for snow😊

Please make a full length movie. I'd buy it. I'd love to ski with you guys, love deep powder! I ski alta/snowbird all the time.

wow I got shivers down my spine watching this Vid. Little Cottonwood CYN is magical! I am havin withdrawls.

Dang strait Best resort ever

they make pow look so easy

One of my hardcore boarding buds just switched to skis, I'm so happy that I have won over another convert!

! inspirational. i want some.

Absoltely beautiful on the mountains. In the cities it sucks.

inspirational. i want some.

super fantastic.. luck how can sky there!!!!

Awesome pow pow shots, that's not california snow. We've been wanting to take a trip to Alta.

I remember Alta, went when I was young. Didn't appreciate the quality of the snow :( but if I ever go back and gonna ski til I drop.

sweet! i cant wait im going there next february vacation, GONA BE SWEET

holy shit thats deep!!!

This is total FACE SHOTS SKIING!!! This is what you live fore!!!.... I love this stuff... Get these kind of conditions in Fernie, BC 3 or 4 times a year... Some times more...

@goodbusiness12 haha I hear ya man, I'm originally from New Hampshire, so I know of the New England skiing. I was fortunate enough that my parents bought a place in Alta 40 years ago so that when we got sick of the New England skiing we could run out to Utah lol. I will certainly give aspen a try,

Went to Val D'isère last week. It snowed and the snow was up to the knees or waist sometimes. It was really nice off-pist powdersnow skiing. I Just say omg to this video. it is really nice

EPIC

i think i just drooled on my computer!!!!!!!! :P

it looks like he's just starting an avalanche

damn thatsa lot of snow!

IT'S SO FLUFFY IM GONNA DIE!!!!

That is wicked fucking sick! OH MY GOD!

GNAR TO THE MAX

@Infernobasilea Snowbird... it's right next to Alta and almost gets the same storms. It gets slightly less snow year round, but I personally prefer the terrain at snowbird.

I have had the same stuff on the backside of alta but now i really miss it. Untracked fress pow is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's your ski playlist? Any songs you can recomend?

@thehurtingskater So true. I went there for Spring Break this year (2010) and it was super icy. I was still happy just to be there, but there was no good powder to be found.

what's that song? perfect vid!

@atraherne I went to Snowbird/Alta last April, amazing snow then.

@17cusTom thats sweet im goin there at christmas any tips???

@wahpowprod nice, ty for the info.

@wahpowprod There's a place in Colorado that gets almost as much as Alta, but it doesn't get skied off near as quick. With Alta, if you're not there within 3 days of a dump, often there's little fresh left. :-)

What is the street value of all that glorious Peruvian POW POW!!!!

@firedog9 Once you get up on the mountain and move to mid-mountain lifts, crowds seem to be less, and by 12:00pm lines are less than a few minutes. If you go to Alta/Snowbird on a weekday, crowds won't be an issue whatsoever. When I'v skied Snowbasin I didn't notice crowds being any less.

is the skiing there always like this?

Home!

i spent time at snowbird...powder is some the of best powder anywhere...i can attest to that. amazing mountains both snowbird and alta...if you ever get a chance to rip there...do it.

Alta is the shit. I wish I could ski it more often. Unfortunately, whenever we go to Utah we stay at Park City. Maybe when I go for a weekend with my uncle next year. Nice Vid though!

*starts crying*

Yeah, I uploaded it years ago. The kicker was it happened just a few months before youtube changed their policies on file size and time length. I was going to put it on again but I lost the original file. It's on a tape somewhere, but there's literally thousands of tapes and this point. Like you said though, the skiing speaks for itself.

He was BASE jumping.

say i if you know where all of the shots were taken

@17cusTom Yeah Canada gets a lot of snow. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's a Maritime snowpack, as opposed to our Continental snowpack, right? The pacific northwest is plagued with massive amounts of snowfall. Mt Baker had a 95 foot year in 98-99. Usually the snow is a lot more dense in those areas. Water content in Utah and Colorado can be in the single digits, while the Costal areas get up near 30%. My good friend moves to the Kootenay's every winter and tours his ass off. It looks INSANE!!

@wahpowprod yea, thats the absolute sweetest thing ive ever seen as far as powder goes, steamboat doesnt have shit on this, ive skied the boat 6 or 7 powder days and its all skied out by 10 am, best powder ive hit is southeast wyoming but ive never had a day like this

@2WhiteAndNerdy The best time to go to Alta is the last two weeks of January and first two weeks of February. That is when we usually get dumped on the most.

@warty2200 It is in HD. It just happens that it was posted to KZfaq a few months before they accepted bigger file sizes. It was all I could manage at the time. Check Highway 210 for some better quality of the same.

i dont know how it feels to powder with skiis :) but its such an unbelievable great feeling with the board :) one of the best feelings u can have.!! poor r those who will never going to feel it! anyway - awsm vid

@goodbusiness12 I'm in Colorado right now, finishing my undergrad and the Alta is not even comparable to the crowds I see at Breckenridge, Vail, Keystone, etc. I would hardly consider Alta or Snowbird crowded. I don't think i'v ever waited in line for more than 15-20 minutes at Alta and I'v skied Alta hundreds of times. When there are crowds, they are usually at the bottom on a weekend, and in the morning rush (9-11am).

i just was there

we got 12 feet of snow where i ski last week and it wasnt even close to this deep. where is this?

Volant Spatulas, K2 Pontoons, Birdos Puder Luders and someone's on some Rossis

cold.......choke smoke!!

no montana has excellent snow just when the wind isnt blowing

Sick! I can't figure out how you could take the time on a day like that to film.

@atraherne That time of the year can be hit or miss. I would suggest end of February-beginning of March.

@tobbetobbebobbob yeah, I uploaded this before youtube started accepting high res footage. the original footage is mostly 720p

@jtomasik Silverton? Averages 400 and only has one lift. Wolf Creek? Claims 465 annually, which is a stretch. Neither is 500. There are lots of skis areas that get "almost as much as Alta". Three days after a storm? Try three hours! The place is Mecca for powder hounds and even an inch or two creates the most intense powder panic. Colorando has some good skiing and some light snow, but Utah is where it's at.

I would love to shred pow like this in Utah

umpf! i wanna skiiiiiiii

@Rob206206 this is utah... and it is that great!
