I ended up finally taking a trip to Utah. Stopped in Salt Lake City, also hit up a couple ski resorts. I did some snowboarding at Snowbird and Brighton. Met up with 97FormulaWS-6 at Brighton and did a bunch of runs. Snagged a bunch of photos both stopped on the mountain, while riding on the mountain, and also in the city. What an amazing adventure this was and a life changing experence for me. I now know I’d love to move west if I could find work. (maybe emt/snow safety on the mountain) Anyways, here are some photos for you guys to check out. First day was full of powder. I had a great week for this trip. Showed up to 9+ inch fresh first time boarding out west. Dream come true! ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0002_zps797ee3cf.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0002_zps797ee3cf.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0030_zpsb38cfc6b.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0030_zpsb38cfc6b.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0045_zpsdc84ff1a.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0045_zpsdc84ff1a.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0057_zpsd64cf2ad.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0057_zpsd64cf2ad.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0066_zps29c9f56a.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0066_zps29c9f56a.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0068_zps06420741.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0068_zps06420741.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0079_zpsd9a07d7b.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0079_zpsd9a07d7b.jpg) The tram - Holds 60 people ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0363_zps5381a243.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0363_zps5381a243.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0084_zps5e7c48be.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0084_zps5e7c48be.jpg) Mineral Basin - Big ass bowl, probably 2 miles wide of deciding where you’d like to drop in and hit fresh snow. ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0099_zpsb30dd716.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0099_zpsb30dd716.jpg) Still part of Mineral Basin bowl ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0095_zps0d1e1aca.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0095_zps0d1e1aca.jpg) Me ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0108_zps03679872.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0108_zps03679872.jpg) my friend who stayed with ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0102_zps9d5e94ad.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0102_zps9d5e94ad.jpg) Clouds in the mountains ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0113_zps2c2e2453.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0113_zps2c2e2453.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0132_zps8c76b39b.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0132_zps8c76b39b.jpg) ---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ---------- ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0178_zps86eea750.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0178_zps86eea750.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0188_zpsd5f70bc8.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0188_zpsd5f70bc8.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0347_zpsa86ee6d1.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0347_zpsa86ee6d1.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0358_zpsd7cc7050.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0358_zpsd7cc7050.jpg) ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0325_zpsd01aeaac.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0325_zpsd01aeaac.jpg) Shot with the 70-300 of The Utah mine that you can see a whole from space. ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0377_zps146be223.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/Utah%20trip%20-%20snowbird/DSC_0377_zps146be223.jpg) ---

Although honest, Killington is probably better than Brighton. Longer runs and still has steep. Snowbird really got me realizing how good I really am. You try boarding out here or VT and its one thing, you go out there and its a whole other story for sure. Some absolutely crazy things out there. I did however do a lot of tree runs there since they had the snow. A couple of tree runs as steep as the wall or steeper in spots. ---

I only paid $65 a ticket for Snowbird each day we did that. Brighton was only $60. With my type of riding, I’d say snowbird is a god amount mountains out there. lol 3 times the elevation than Brighton and just a challenge. Definitely not a family place as much it is, you need to know what you are doing!!! If you are just getting better but not all that great, stay away from this place. You honestly will not enjoy your trip. ---
