New Year's Eve Sunset Ski Tour
For a few years now I've been trying to get out on New Year's Eve for sunset photos. In 2011, zerodog and I stepped it up by going out for a little backcountry ski tour on New Year's Eve. For 2012 we went really big and did a big ski tour in the Brighton backcountry, above Salt Lake City. It was a pretty solid adventure, too. I'm not sure what the mileage was but we took one lift up and then climbed 10,500 foot Mt. Millicent, descended to a saddle and then skinned to the top of Wolverine Peak, at about 10,800 feet. I've got a whole bunch of photos, all of which were taken with the Olympus TG1 waterproof point-and-shoot. This first batch was taken while we were climbing Mt. Millicent, just out the gate at Brighton Ski Resort.

Re: New Year's Eve Sunset Ski Tour
Sounds like a really great adventure for New Years Eve. Nice set of pics from the TG1, that last one in the first set really caught my eye.
Re: Sun Goes Down On 2012
What a wonderful adventure !!!
Still in awe every time you share the wonderful place where you live
since you go in the back country , is anything in particular that you guys need to do to prevent snow avalanches ? or the 0F is enough assurance that will not happen ?
