For our steep thrill grande finale, a montage from Utah's mountains!
We begin with Millicent peak at Brighton. The hike up to this high point takes
you to untracked, soft powder in a long lasting realm with room for countless
turns.
Up the canyon at Solitude, more of Utah's greatest snow on earth, especially in
Honeycomb canyon, where skiers and boarders can find tree shots, chutes, and
deep deep snow.
Hopping over the terrain to Deer Valley, Heidi Voelker of the US Ski Team takes
us out to play.. Here, Voelker races through the gladed groves of trees, off
piste, where the snow stays deep for days after a storm. This spot is called
Sunset Trees.
Next Door, at Park City, some super steep thrills take you out of this world..
to Jupiter Peak. The toughest chutes of them all are right off the peak, and a
very brave Utah Olympic star, Jeremy Nobis, rips right down them like a breeze.
Speaking of ripping, one of Utah's very famous extreme skiers is Gordy Pieffer.
You can recognize him by his ability to fly down and slice through the snow in
some of utah's longest, deepest chutes. This is Pieffer turning 'em all the way
down Glory Hole.
Another nice line that's a challenge to survive all the way down... is Bishops
Bowl at Sundance. This bowl is nice and steep, it has a perfect fall line, and
its heaven to blaze through .. all the way down... it must take one hundred
turns top to bottom and its all good.
Finally, we're onto Snowbird,
where skiers are blown away by the endless terrain and steep thrills. Here
you can spend the entire day in open bowls, chutes and trees: all in deep,
fluffy snow, like this powder found in Tiger Tail.
And that wraps up this whirlwind look at some of the season's steep thrills in
Utah's mindblowing snow!
