A couple weeks ago I went out with Aaron and his friend Grey and experienced some new lines. We started out at Alta, went up to Flagstaff and took a run into Days Fork. We ascended Days Fork back up to the ridge and made our way to the Hallway Couloir. This was my first time skiing down a chute in the backcountry. The only other chute I had skied to that point was Main Chute at Alta. I was a little nervous but it wasn't too bad and was really fun! I'm definitely not a good enough skier for narrow chutes where you have to straight line it yet but anything wide enough to make a super quick turn is fairly comfortable for me now. Looking forward to ticking off a lot more of the couloirs in the Chuting Gallery throughout the rest of the season.

After skiing the Hallway, we skied a few more laps in Cardiff before I had to be home. It was a great day! Last week Aaron K and I went to the low angle Mill D North lines on a day when our usual spots had some higher avy danger. I had never been before and it was fun exploring somewhere new, but it was definitely very low angle skiing and I couldn't do it everyday.
Lots of tight trees to practice turning.
A very cool cloud rainbow.
