backcountry skiing with the foothill freak

 

First Day of the Season, Rockboarding at Alta.

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

I'll just start by saying that I missed two money shots today...The highly textural nature of the fall foliage draped in a layer of fresh snow made for incredibly beautifuly scenery. The sky, for the most part, was totally overcast. But fortunately, fast moving windows of sun would shine randomy on wasatch peaks, as if to put them and their beauty on blatant display. As I didn't have my usual pack (that features easy camera access) Though I tried, I couldn't manage to get my camera out in time to capture these moments. Thus I broke my #1 rule of outdoor photography : always have the camera ready.
