Ave Twins with MattW from i Street.

I really like starting at this trailhead. It is a bit shorter than starting from City Creek, but we didn't have much time, so this is a really good option. There was a nice packed trail from the start all the way to the summit of the first twin and we had some good conversation all the way up. From the first to the second twin we had to blaze through some deep snow, but it wasn't too bad. We hit the second peak, took a break and then cruised back to the first peak. Just before we hit the summit the KSL news chopper buzzed us and spent about 30 seconds flying around us. I'm not sure if they were filming us or what, but it was pretty cool.

We had a really fun cruise down. Just like our last run I led all the way up and Matt all the way back down. It was a really great day to get out above the inversion to play in the hills.

Thanks for recording that for us Neasts. Yeah, I think there was some adrenaline pumping which might have helped us pick up the pace. :)
