Thursday brought sun to Powder Mountain for the third day of Gear Test Week. Wind overnight recirculated the snow to provide free powder refills to all who ventured out. Sunscreen-adorned testers explored more of what this mountain has to offer—from the legendary “Powder Country” to the flanks of James Peak. The new snow filled in the nooks and crannies that had been left exposed by warm weather earlier in the month and so high speed shredding and hucking abounded.
Here are the latest Instagram selects from a day in the sun and snow.
