First Snow Storm in Utah

Utah First Storm SKS 21

Technine am Brady Larson getting after it on day one.

It’s that time of year, in certain places snow has started to fly and people are getting amped up for winter. Over at SNOWBOARDER Magazine we had word that there were up to 20 inches of snow at the higher elevations out in Utah so we asked Salt Lake local, Sean Kerrick Sullivan, to go out and snap some shots. Winter is here.

Something really big happened in Utah over the weekend and it was not a keg party (kegs are illegal in UT). What was it? The arrival of winter. With up to 20 inches already on the ground at higher elevations and more on the way, fall finally slowed its roll and let winter step to the table.

Waking up to this for the first time in months ought to get you out of bed quick style.

Watching winter and fall do battle as you drive up the canyon is beautiful, and seeing winter win is a whole nudder’ story.

    Other than this one, where is there another spot up in Big Cottonwood to go up? Is anyone doing anything at the boneyard?

    Thanks in advance.

    Me and some buddys made a spot that just got tore down not even a week ago with a chainsaw. Over 15 days of work over the summer building a wallride, flat down flat, a huge shack, and over 6 other jibs completely ruined and they even broke our shovels. If ANYONE has any information on this. It was right next to the variety pack spot.. SO WHACK. They took a bunch of trash and stuff that was in a plastic bag and threw it all over the place so I know it wasn’t a park ranger. If anyone has any information on who did this I will gladly drive from park city to salt lake and find you. Thanks. </3

    dick dude its Alday and its not a joke… your a clown…. y would anyone do somethin like that? We put in a lot of work on everything we do and that spot was dope. why would you not want to ride it and have respect like most people and leave it looking nice when you leave. Karma will get you sometime! how about you tell us who you are cuz its clear you know some shit cuz Alday was not mentioned in shields comment…
