So Mark's Greenwood and I toured from Little Cottonwood to Big to Millcreek. It was gorgeous to link all three canyons. We started in the upper Alta parking lot and went over Cardiff Ridge. Here's Mark monopolizing some turns in Little.
We did a lap on this shot and skied this really long shot down to the Spruces campground. There is so much amazing terrain back there that rarely gets toured. The best part of the day was when Mark dropped this quick shot and it turned vertical to a mandatory drop; sadly no video. This is a video of me right before Mark's gap shot and drop.
We then skied this basin's gully to the spruces campground; gully type skiing. After a stopover at the heated bathrooms of the spruces, we crossed the street up Mil D to Reynold's peak. A lap on that and then off the North face of Reynold's to a web of evergreens and popped out at the Yurt in Millcreek.
Overall it was so fun. My only recommendation if you do this tour is watch hot spots for blisters. I came out of this with a blister the size of Narnia (which is hella-big considering Narnia isn't even real).
