The end of fall is the time to bundle up and go foraging for clumps of Grass Sticks (Bambusa Coloradus) that emerge in rainbows of color every fall as the first snows begin falling on the peaks. We carefully harvested this clump in an aspen grove in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. @grasssticks #winteriscoming #bamboo #bamboopoles #skiing #ecofriendly #wasatch

Downloaded a lift for the first time. It was terrifying.
