We found it!
Well, I came to Utah to film for a TV pilot for The Mission:Snow. Our mission was to track storms using all available technology, and be in the right spot at the right time to catch the best possible conditions. Instead, I just went to Utah, and the storm found us! All of the technology is just telling me that we are in the right spot, and the time is now. Here's the latest NWS forecast discussion for the Northern Wasatch Mountains:Northern Utah Mountain Weather Forecast
Sunday, March 20, 2005 1300
Discussion:
Heavy snow in the Wasatch: ATT, Cottonwoods 15-18 inches, Park City mts 13 inches, Ogden 10-14 inches, Provo 16 inches. High precipitation rates between 6 and 9am likely major contributor to snow instability. Northwesterly winds light until around noon, picking up to 30-40G55 along the high peaks. Cold air at 500mb will keep showers going through the afternoon and night where areas could pick up another 3-6 inches. Second storm moves in tomorrow early for additional light snowfall. Break on Monday night into Tuesday, with next storm lining up for Tuesday night. Temps tonight and tomorrow set for the upper teens with moderate northwest winds.

New Snowboard!
I almost forgot the best part! After filming yesterday, we went to Molly Greens, the local watering hole at Brighton Ski Resort for a few cold ones. Uinta Brewing Company was doing a drawing for a new snowboard. We decided to put our names in, and Max was adamant that I was going to win. For some reason, I believed him. They gave out a bunch of T-shirts and beer glasses first, and then came the drawing for the board. 2 names were called, but the people had already left, so their entries were left out. Then they called my name! I almost couldn't believe it, but I had already accepted the possibility when Max called it. Below is a picture of my new board. Cutthroat Ale - Everything else is just carp.

The Mission: Snow - Day 3
The thing I love about Utah is that the mountains create their own weather. The weather forecast for Thursday called for 4-8 inches of new snow, and we ended up with a foot of new overnight. The backcountry was in prime condition, with easily a foot and a half windblown into some areas. We headed out to Wolverine, one of our favorite backcountry areas in the Wasatch near Brighton. 2 professional skiers, Ben Wheeler and Sara Clemenson, joined us, as well as videographer Gabe Morin and a photographer named Will. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves on this, but let's just say that the sun came out right on schedule and we got a great deal of filming!

Kate and I went to Cabarete, in the Dominican Republic, to stay at Extreme Hotels. As you can see we fully enjoyed ourselves.
