Skiers like to say, “even when the skiing’s bad, it’s good.” In the case of backcountry skiing in Utah during a low snow year, a little creativity and knowing where to go can yield nice results; such as soft snow weeks after the last major storm. Even if there isn’t a face-shot in sight, being with good friends in the Wasatch Mountains with a flask full of a Jagermeister knockoff is a recipe for fun times.
To seek out the soft creamy stuff, we made two trips in two days to Mill D in Big Cottonwood Canyon. There, we found what we were looking for in the north-facing slopes off Mount Reynolds, Big Water, and Short Swing. Giddyup!
