The Daily PowBetween Sunday and Monday Alta racked up about 11″ of snow. With only 4″ on sunday, we went looking for some low angle pow, since it was still a bit hard underneath. Mark, Jesse, Christian and JJ found just what we were looking for on Race Hill.

Here’s a clip of Christian in the High Notch soon after the rope dropped and Titus let everyone in. We were probably #30 or so in the lineup but still managed to find the goods. Had to be careful down low though, as there were avalanche chunks buried underneath the pow. And I was pretty out of breath while filming so I apologize for the shaky hand and heavy breathing in the background.
