Alta is closed today due to off-the-charts avalanche danger so here's a fun powder photo from yesterday.
After about a month without any significant snow, a real storm is moving in today. While I love skiing fast on groomers, skiing powder is my favorite thing in the whole world. I'm looking forward to getting some snow on my face.

The Helipad at Bell 2 Lodge gets activated on a cold morning after a snowstorm. Powder Awaits.
I had to make a smaller version of the origami cat dress, and here it is worn by the pale Powder.

Sunrise atop Haleakala Vocano. The colors and light kept changing with the rising sun. When I get an chance to photograph with this kind of light.... I almost forget how to use the camera. If your ever visit Maui, a trip up Haleakala is worth the time.

This is an older shot I took a few seasons back. I was asked to rework it for a company that used it and decided to repost this version (as it nicely highlights the powder we consistently get in Niseko during the Season!).

- www.kevin-palmer.com - The weather was about to change and the comet was about to fade. I knew this would be my last chance to get a more detailed picture of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. So I went to one of my favorite campgrounds at the southern end of the Bighorn Mountains. The dark sky and dry air here is great for stargazing and you can’t beat the price (free). On top of a rugged canyon rim, the Middle Fork of the Powder River stretched out below to the west. After setting up my star tracking mount I captured as many pictures as I could. Normally I’m limited to a 10 second exposure with this lens before the stars trail due to Earth’s rotation. But a star tracking mount let me shoot up to 10 minutes, revealing fainter stars, dust clouds of the Milky Way, and other details. While my camera took pictures, I peered through my telescope at the comet, planets, and galaxies.
Fresh foot of Lake Effect snow in my fishing grounds on the Salmon River. Beautiful being the first one through the woods, to the river :)
The Powder House, Seahouses, North Northumberland. The Powder House was built in 1886 to store gunpowder used in blasting for construction of the Long Pier and the new Harbour.
The remains of a magazine at the bottom of the Hafan incline. The incline, which was built to transport lead ore from the mines here and Greywacke stone from the Hafan quarries, was a massive construction which starts at the left middle of the photo. At the bottom of the incline is the remains of Barberry's wheelpit, installed to pump out workings below the Hafan deep adit in 1853. It cost £200, and emptied a working reported to be 2.25 miles long. The tips from these workings can be seen in the right middle of the photo. There was also a leat, constructed by Michael Barberry, that can still (just) be traced to the wheel, although it is lost in forestry further to the east. There are ancient workings all over the hillside in the background.
The Plynlimon and Hafan Tramway started it's short-lived journey to Llandre from here.
A Fall Day Along the Leo Adler Memorial Pathway in Baker City Oregon
Got to spend a little time this afternoon enjoying the fall colors along the Powder River on the Leo Adler Memorial Pathway in Baker City. The Leo Adler Memorial Pathway follows the Powder River through Baker City and connects Baker City’s historic downtown and surrounding neighborhoods with multiple parks including Central Park in Downtown, Geiser Pollman Park, and the Baker Sports Complex.
The pathway is a local favorite and is always a great little urban escape in the heart of town with great foliage, birding and scenic views of both the Elkhorn and Wallowa mountains but it’s particularly stunning in the fall.

This was less than a week ago. It's definitely warmed up but winter isn't over in the mountains. At the end of the day on Sunday Alta still had a base of over 100 inches. The resort is closed this week but we've got one more "bonus" weekend coming up. It ain't over 'til it's over, baby!
