Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show 222 - Green Pond Snowshoe

View fullsize

View from the OOA Podcast office!

A Star Wars tribute and Green Pond adventure to lead us into Christmas. Recorded a week ago before the latest epic winter dump; the snowshoeing was good, but now I bet it's unreal! Snowpack remains unstable and the Utah Avalanche Center has issued a Warning as avalanche conditions remain High. Green Pond Trail off Snowbasin Road is a great low angle trail residing below the resort in which the patrollers perform daily thorough avalanche safety operations greatly lessening the possibility of an avalanche in the area. 

Be sure to check out a new podcast under The Banyan Collective, Mountain Life with Brandi Hammon. The first two interviews were with The Ogden Valley Ski Team and New World Distillery.  

Wishing you and yours the very best this festivus season! Thank you for supporting local media arts and the Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show!
