Powder skiing at Snowbird today

Today was by far the best day so far this season.  There was 13" of new since friday night, and it's really opened up a lot more terrain on the mountain.  I skied some of the most technical terrain so far this year, like through the black forest, which is much harder skiing early season than it was last spring.

There was an avalanche on Mt Baldy today around 12:30.  Apparently somebody was life flighted out at 1:30 or so in critical condition.  Kind of scary, that's in the ski area and under snowbird's avalanche control.   Last year I skied over there all the time but haven't yet this year because I didn't think there was enough snow, but apparently there is if there's enough to slide.  Scary stuff, I could have been over there.
