Just google it and see the photos. Wow just wow. I drove that a few times. Important road for people who work in the Jackson area.

If you get the same model goggle then you have an extra pair of lense(s) in case they scratch or crack etc... I had the goggle with the reddish/orangish tint and I think all Smiths come with a flat light lense as well. So all said and done once I proved I cut the strap they gave me voucher code values at the original product price.

The update is I can keep the lense but cut the strap. Oh well, it is what it is.

I'd be happy if they just replace the broken piece. oh well lol

have a great time!

So I think during travel I had a piece of my Smith IO goggle cracked. I opened the claim. They want to see proof of purchase, picture of the damage, etc.... I get an email reply approving it, but before they give me a voucher, they want pictures of the "destroyed" product. Cut the strap, scratch an X into the lense. Seems like a darn good waste of a fine lense. Anybody else go through this?

Biggest pile of snow I ever seen.

I was out here about same time last year and it dumped all week. I stayed in Midvale. LCC road had a lot of avy closures that week and I was only about to get here one day. Solitude and Brighton the other days. So this go around I stayed near slopeside.

Friday last day Another ☀️☀️☀️day. Snow shower came through just after close. Nice day. Started with some Mineral laps as that gets the sun first. Then sone plays over in Little Cloud area. Rasta chutes etc. The northeast facing aspects seemed to hold that nice chilly snow during this freeze/thaw cycle. After lunch getting into Cirque Ave some other fun stuff off the path. West Baldy, Peruvian area lots of goodies in there. Then to finish the day with some live music in the plaza 🍺 Forecast for snow tomorrow afternoon. 😢. I really thought about changing flight to red eye to get another day in but honestly, We all are pretty wiped out. Was pretty good and fun week even though snow conditions were not what you’d expect here but weather is always a roll of dice in trip planning

Twin Peaks

Today started with a nice snow shower. I hope the crew over in Park City has a piece of that. It softened the surface up enough to make fir a very fun day. Visibility up top was pretty bad most of the day. The mountain staff posted signs “Experts Only” so I think that scared off the tourists bad the lift lines in Mineral were pretty short. 👍 The most fun for me was getting into some of the chutes and trees over in Little Cloud area, My post yesterday was a wet avalanche debris. Kind of scary.

Twas ready for a little hike action today but 🚫 I found out why shortly later 😳 Bulletproof morning. Fast corn to slush cycle in Mineral Basin so that was the play.

They reported like 20 inches of snow here last week but sure doesn’t seem like it up on that ridge line. I am guessing it was very windy last week blowing snow out of the top of those lines she the bright March sun the past few days nuking the rest. Once you cleared the drop in area and the exposed rocks it was fun.

Maybe I am losing my mind but I am kind of digging the the chalk in the steeps here. Crew was feeling sendy this afternoon. I Jerry landed it but one of us cleared the cat track was hoping to hike up Baldy to go check out Livin the Dream but closed 😢 Shot of Jameson for Apres 😎
