Make hay while the suns out

A money shot, by Adam Barker shot at Snowbasin 

This last week has been filled with early mornings and late days spent wallowing through waste deep snow in some places or standing alone left only to your thoughts on top of big cliffs before jumping off, during the week I when out and shot with   Steve lloyd, Drew Steoklein, and  Adam Barker.

And as the old saying goes "make hay while the suns out", and with a big high pressure settling over the Salt lake for the week we made hay, shot photos day after day all along the wasatch range. After a day spend dropping cliffs  up at Brighton on Saturday with photog. Steve Lloyd where first thing in morning I  clipping a rock at the take off of the first cliff we shot and more or less falling of the cliff as if I jumped off it with no speed, falling through the air like cat on a hot tin roof   landing on my shoulder and head 40 feet at the  bottom of the cliff. 

While in the afternoon it went a little better we spend it out in the dead tree cliff zone  in the brighton backcountry I still was able to rang doll losing both skis after landing a 40 foot cliff and then bent my ski pole around my side as I landed off the 50 ft dead tree air. All and all a tough day out,  with my nerves shot I needed a little break. But as sunday rolled around and the grey bird of winter showed it head turning the Wasatch front from blue bird to grey I got a much needed day of rest to mend my sore body from the weeks work.  

Here are a few shots from that week, with more snow and sun forecasted it looks like the rest time with be put on hold again
