Pine Spring Knoll

Bonnie and I headed up from Right Hand canyon to get to Graff point to start the generator after the last storm that put down 3+ feet


This is a photo of the Aspen trees across the top of Cedar Mt headed to Kolob



I needed to stop an use the bath room but someone left the door open




After getting to the site it was obvious that the ice was thick on everything!

The wind has been blowing pretty hard, it took the new wind generator right off the pole...

2ed trip to Utah Hill

The next day the snow was still soft and deep...


The towers had a little ice don't you think...


This tree was absolutely beautiful almost to the top.



we got close to the top but not all the way, this is one switchback from the top and the snow was3 to 4 feet think.





This is Kelly and I snow showing to the top, as you can tell I am a little winded. Maybe I should lay off the cheese burgers! :)

quick trip to West Mt...Deeeeeeep snow!

The snow was clear to the paved road, we unloaded there to try and get to the TV towers and start the generator (to much snow and the power lines were down)


This is a photo of Josh just about to the cattle guard at the top of the hill



After getting stuck multiple times for 2 hours we had to give up because of it was snowing to hard and just to deep



It sure was pretty tho-

No Damage :)

2 days for snowmobiling on Cedar Mountain with Bonnie, Jon on Sat and Lex on Sun



Looking back to the parking lost at midway




Lex was doing he best to trim the trees, but this tree won!
Jon did a good job keeping out of the trees today!
It hasn't snowed for a week or so but Lex was not having any trouble finding snow deep stuff :)


Nice hill climb in Deer Valley...


Graff site repair

If you look close the 2 sleds are in the middle of the picture, we had to hike in from there, the snow was just to thin, Hiking 1/2 mile up hill at 9400 feet caring gas and tools is great cardio!





Kelly had to replace some equipment on the tower for the New Harmony coverage







The wind must ahve been blowing 40+MPH!


Like I said the wind had been blowing! notice the wind generator blades are gone and it jumped off of the mount....




what a view looking towards Kolab...

Good friends and a great day!

The 3 amigos got out Sat on Cedar Mt. we went towards Tommy Creek and Tippet's valley, the snow was amazing! My new GPS is great it shows the google image so we are able to find all kinds on hidden valleys and meadows...


The meadows was some of the best I have ever been on...



Lex is getting pretty good at his "signature moves" this circle was pretty small!




I think that Lex was having a good time--- there's a little caption n everyone!





I love this photo---





And of course I couldn't go a whole day with out some damage..I really was minding my business this trip, but when I crossed the cattle guard going into Mammoth Creak my ski dropped off the edge and, well the photo explains the rest. (all that I have to say is riding double sucks)
Thanks Lex and Bonnie for the ride back to get my truck. I owe you a taxi fee.
PS: don't you worry, I be back up again this weekend, I have parts on the way! :)
