A 3:45 wake up turned into a 4:25 call from Sam wondering where I was. I suck. Luckily the guys waited for me. The plan was to head up Nebo and ski the NW and the Champagne couloirs with Sam, Isaac, and Uncle Roman. I couldn't have asked for a better morning. The approach was beautiful, uneventful, and went pretty quick.

| Sam and Uncle Roman, the valley was spotted with sun all morning, nice. |

Once we summited, clouds rolled in. Still pretty nice though. The short steep section entering into the Champagne was a little icy but other than than conditions were spectacular. Soft in the upper 1/2 led to a firm, smooth, carvable lower section. It's SO good to be back! Not everyone was feeling super today so we decided to call it a day before heading back up the NW. Next time I guess. Sam and I also spotted a few other lines that need to be investigated...

| Summit Cokes. Real ones, not diet, weird. |
