Down Time A-Lodge Style
A little bit of down time at the A-lodge means it is time for a prank. Catie had to open the front desk at 6:30. Alan and Clifton decided to make it look like they had a hard night of partying behind the desk, enjoy. Down Time from Scott Lommele on Vimeo.
Storm Days
Wild Cat Pow from Scott Lommele on Vimeo. I think anyone that regularly skis Alta can agree, storm days are better than blue bird powder days. I think the canyon may have been closed for a while in the morning, so we got some nice country club action at the start.

New episode of Salomon Freeski TV was posted a few days ago, I do not think I have ever seen a better compilation of big air bails. My favorite is the guy who loses both skis before getting to the second cliff.
