A flash flood downpour

 

This is a view to the flash flood from the slopes of Boulder Mountain. Thousand Lake mountain is completely obscured by the rain that blew out Sand Creek.

Flash Flood

 

Several inches of rain fell in Torrey in under an hour creating flash floods. We got off easy. The canal was breached where it crosses Sand Creek in a 3 foot diameter pipe. It was wiped out. THAT will be expensive.

Wildfire Sunset

 

Architecture

 

We took a trip to southern Utah to see some architecture to inspire us.

Sailplane over the Wasatch

I had the opportunity to accept a ride over the wasatch in a sailplane. WOW what a view. Imediately below is the Big Cottonwood/Park City ridgeline. On the the horizon is Snowbird, the Pfiferhorn, Lone Peak.

Sunset on the Reef

After a long hike, the sun sets over Capitol Reef.

June Powder

A cold storm put almost 2 feet of dense powder down at Alta. We were one run wonders at 6am.

summer hiking

This past weekend felt like the first real summer weekend. It didn't snow on us, and we went for a long hike in the desert.

The view from Noors Guest House at Dal Gate, Srinigar.

The ski season in the Wasatch was a real disapointment. Evening things out was a trip of a lifetime to ski in the Indian Himalayas.

crocus in the yard

 

 
The Shanti stuppa was on a hill above the Oriental Guest house where we stayed in Leh.

Lenticular Clouds before a storm

 
I saw some lenticular clouds on returning from India. The next day, I skied Alta and had to remember to keep my mouth closed, which is hard when you are smiling!
