Synopsis:

The first substantial snow of the 11/12 season fell in the wee hours of January 21st, 2012. After one of the driest December on record, this storm was incomprehensibly overdue. So, we packed up the car on a quiet Saturday night and headed Eastbound to wake up early for the hopes of expanded terrain at Kirkwood. Most of the shots in this TR were dirt two days prior…yes, I said dirt. All in all, the skiing was incredible for November…er…I mean January.
