Intense warming & a few avalanches made for some of the most fun, smoothest pow skiing I've done in a long time, which is what this video features.

FWT Qualifier Moonlight Basin 2012
I ended three from the bottom in 34th, but I did not mind considering all the fun I had been having with friends and family that weekend. I went for glory and didn't quite get it, but I did get some killer video footage of it all. Enjoy!
