Mica Creek Heli January '08
Jan 10 2008
I awoke on New Years Day at Snowbird Utah at 630 am to get early tram on
an epic blue sky deep day in utah. That night I got word I needed to head
up to Mica Creek the next day. I booked a ticket, that night I was
staying up at Snowbird and had to make it to Brighton ski resort the next
morning, I didn't have a car and had to make it over to Big Cottonwood
Canyon. I awoke early at Snowbird, took the bus up to Alta, took first
chair over to another chair. Then hiked out of bounds and over a peak and
through a valley until I was at Brighton. Took care of some work there
then bombed down the canyon in a car my friend lended me. Got home,
packed, did the errands. Sped to the airport. Landed in Kelowna British
Columbia at 11pm. Slept in a hotel from midnight til 330am. Drove 5
hours to the heli pick up on the side of a logging road 2 hours out of
Revelstoke. It was snowing for the majority of the drive and there was no
phone reception. Kinda gnarly. I got to the heli pick up 10 minutes
late. No sign of the heli. I got some much needed shut eye in the car
then awoke the sound of a chopper coming in from the fog. The Heli lands
right next to my truck and within the hour I am skiing waist deep blower
pow - 4000 vert with my friends. The lodge is pimp, the food was sooo
good. Beers tasted excellent. And so on. Mica Rules.
