This is a photo from an AWESOME powder day in Utah. This brought back memories of the good old powder days in the late 90's. I saw this untouched wave of snow from the helicopter so I claimed it and got first dibs! THe snow in Utah is so light and fluffy once you make a turn the snow just floats around in the sky and makes sundogs. I think I might need a powder day this winter!
