Shred Head Crew

Throughout the past several days Cottonwoods has been hit with consecutive dumps and it is not showing signs of quiting.  This is a good thing considering the snowfall totals for January are about 200” behind where they were at this time last year.

And now a brief synopsis on how we have felt about the weather as of late:

The first two weeks of January, and pretty much all of December for that matter brought not much more to the SHC than drunken expeditions to PC and arguments about who had the sicker tall hat ( Nute won, his shit’s like 10 inches high).  And of course the daily trip to the bird to work on our GS turns, I think my GS may be more dialed in right now than it ever was during my 15 year racing career.  That being said it is safe to say that the general morale of the crew was reaching dark places, really dark, like “Hey, go fuck yourself, so what I moved to Salt Lake to ski and there’s no snow, I enjoy the culture too” dark.  Whatever, thankfully mother nature threw us a bone and its been blower overhead pretty much all week.  Now we can bask in our newly gained stoke and look forward to a potentially epic late January.  I just wish ‘ol two steps was here to enjoy it with us.

Also, anyone should feel free to submit photos and stories about storms in your neck of the woods, where ever the hell you are.
