Welcome back... we missed you!
Of course, so much has changed since spring and I'm bummed we didn't get a chance to visit at the annual Brewvies/Boondocker Premiere.
One thing we do know is that winter always happens and rest assured, we've got your back!
While we're waiting for the snow to fly, please join us virtually for the 13th annual Utah Snow and Avalanche Workshop.
Each night offers a different theme and the cost is $10.00 per night or $25.00 for all three nights.

Weather and Snow
Ted was out and about this and caught some stunning images. Yep... the weekend storm made the peaks white, but looking into the weather crystal ball, high pressure and warming temperatures keep winter at bay through at least next week.
I grabbed the image above whilst stomping around in Chalk Creek on Friday. The biggest takeaway is... patchy, early season snow on upper elevation north facing terrain is moth-eaten and shouldn't pose much of a problem moving forward. Swing around to the south half of the compass and I bet the terrain melts out, reverting to its brown, autumn coat.
