Ah, those guys over at the Utah Avalanche Center sure know how to take a serious thing like avalanches and make them lighthearted and fun. Well, more avalanche forecaster Craig Gordon than anyone else. Of course he doesn’t really take slides lightly, but for the past few years, he and his cohort, Trent Meisenheimer, compiled a funny, retrospective video to show at the beginning of the annual Utah Snow and Avalanche Workshop. If you missed the workshop (and the video) this year, scroll down to check it out.
This recap video shows the highs and lows of the season with a charm and wit that only Craig Gordon can provide. Plus the news anchor skit he performs makes this video stand out above the rest. Seriously, watch the clip for that alone.
It’s always a good idea to look back at the snowpacks, mistakes, and triumphs of the previous season to get us ready for the upcoming winter. As always, know before you go at the Utah Avalanche Center website at www.utahavalanchecenter.org
