The rain was really making a lot of noise on the Trailer in the early morning hours

HIGH SPEED

as I luxuriated in the dream state.  Up on the hill was a light dusting of Essence, signaling the return of the BIG CYCLE.  Though it is still too early to get any accumulation, though that is not unheard of, it is sending vibrations to all of the Faithful that a new season is almost here.   I hiked up to the peak the other day to investigate the rock strata that is quite varied, and was looking for examples of the Tintic Quartzite that is laced within the geological layering.  SNOWBIRD SECRETS treats this feature as one of the major platforms of commentary, so I was curious to find the  large seams and see the crystalline structure sparkle in the Sun.   On the Peak great progress has been made on the installation of the new Little Cloud high speed quad, and here is a shot I took of the top station with the American Fork Twins framing the new installation.  Pretty space age looking equipment.  This will really make the Around the World access so much faster, and makes a storm day ascent more manageable.  The weather is going to warm up nicely again, so the good weather will continue  helping keep the installation on schedule.  I will be posting much more regularly, so stay tuned for updates as they happen.  We will be riding the Gravity Waves before you know it.  Peace out!!

I have the Trailer all set up on the winter foundation, ready to begin the season with a bang.  The antenna array is pulling down some serious data from the Galactic Federation, and they seem to indicate a great season ahead.   My Book, Snowbird Secrets A Guide To Big Mountain Secrets,  was launched in it’s E version on all the E vendors.  Check out Amazon  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0099STSHA and click on the cover art for a peak inside the book.  The print version is a few weeks out yet, but will be available through this site, at the shops at Snowbird and the internet vendors.   I wrote this book with Jackson Hogen, who is an incredible writer, who really put the shine on the concepts that we present.  There are about 50 full color pictures to illustrate the narrative, which helps to develop the global view of the Bird, but these secrets transcend where to find the powder stashes.   This is the cover art for the book, which features American Fork Twins with Pipeline as the iconic image that characterizes this amazing place.   The new Little Cloud high speed quad is going up quickly and will be a great addition to the hill, providing an important uphill alternative.  I will be updating the site more often as we move closer to the season, so  stay tuned for continuing posts.  I will be going up to the Bird this week to get some up to date shots of the new lift progress.  Also, Octoberfest is in full swing every weekend, so be sure to get up there for the festivities.  Ciao for now!!
