Hell of a 1000th post! Thank you ASP.
Always good to wait for a rope with the assorted mags.

I'm sure it was cooler when you started skiing here and there wasn't any traffic and the houses were cheaper and the tits were out in the gmd and they didn't close the road the night before and the snow was colder and the avalanche conditions were more stable and there weren't so many reefer head beater snowboarders and backpack speakers and football jerseys, but take a little pity.

weeeelllllll tbh today was thinking about how the vibe here with the young chargin' 20-something group was more positive, friendly, fun, and non-aggro-asshole than when I started skiing here and it makes it so much fun to share a mountain with folks with such a good vibes only attitude.

man i love that vibe, and i didn't think you were trying to harsh my stoke

fwiw i wasn't skiing solly and i'm sorry to all the solly skiers for falsely spraying about their mountain, i was just being a bit of an ass since, like everyone else, i'm sick of the ikonic horde invading my hill.

Sincerely apologize if I misread your original comment. It came off as a dig at me posting my departure time to beat the snake up (but then Im probably just too sensitive and quick to scrap for the internet). Im trying to stay stoked out here, it's a war though. I run into *way too many* bitchin, sullen folks on the chairlift at the bird and I try to leave it but sometimes my exhaustion spills out.

Back in the day, was not that long ago. The eirth spins to fast, hold on as tight as you can if you wish, or let go and get spun off and land somewhere. It's hard to hold on.

There are many strategies in dealing with all of the elements and variables with getting it when it's The Best! Was poking fun at the commentary and situation and not your individual sentiments.. I always (and still do... sometimes) poked fun at and had a hard time understanding the dudes who would get in line every day at 7 AM. Then, someone told me, "That's probably their old man country club social hour" and that helped give some empathy. If you have a comfortable way of waiting out the early morning in the parking lots, that's gotta beat being angry in a huge line just past the swamp lot at 8:30.

However, you may find that in this whole big dilemma of hurrying up and waiting that it's best to just walk down and fuck them all.

GLEICH FOR SENATE

World-renowned ski mountaineer, environmental activist running for Utah’s open Senate seat
https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics...environmental/

First, she summited Mount Everest. Now, climate activist Caroline Gleich has set her sights on Capitol Hill.
...
“As I start this climb towards the U.S. Senate, I carry with me the lessons learned from reaching mountain peaks and navigating life’s terrain,” Gleich wrote on social media Monday. “My commitment is unwavering — to empower, to protect, and to advocate for a brighter future.”

I always figured why get up any earlier than needed, until the nagging "what if you don't get a spot" mind virus broke me. I stretch and relax in creekside or the center, then saunter out for chair 20 or so. Don't know about the old man part, but it's often been good for the poor man's country club power hour while the Sysco truck wedges itself nicely across the road

ya didnt fool me and i cant blame anyone for buying an ikon and using it
im just stoked to not be part of that problem
drove by that impresive red clusterfuck snake that extended past 4500 on 215 for some deer valley turns with the spanser, sfotex the groms and shindlers sunday



Pretty smooth sailin up the 190 yesterday new crest lifts nice
bit of wind funk and slab on the poi ridge
green slope laps into snake skied well better than poi back into b right on

its all looking better and nice not to hear every turn

we keep a stash of ski boxes in the l9 shop if ya ever need

[mar123]

Its thin out there! stoked for this pattern change.

nice afternoon in the Trap.

[Boissal]

The alpine is starting to shape up, and it's all about to come seriously unglued and slide into the flats.



Cold as hell yesterday, fortunately not a lick of wind or it would have been too much. Things are very sensitive up high, the buried hoars are super touchy already even if there is no cohesiveness in the slab yet. Things were popping left and right as soon as the angle got close to 35, even is areas completely protected from the wind. W facing stuff was particularly ticklish with the crust+facets combo. There's not much energy in the snowpack so things move slow for now, but there's quite a bit of propagation already. With another few feet and wind it's going to be a very different story...

[tBatt]

After getting a continual faceshot down the shoulder yesterday I was pretty surprised to be skiing on 6" of blower over bare ground all the way down Emma 1 this afternoon.

[ski_the_fraulein]

4” in an hour just reported in LCC…

Saw that interval on Alta's page. I was coming down parleys at 7 and it was dramatic, all graupel in there so the roads stayed black until I got out. Woodward was fun as always, one of the best parts is sitting and talking with someone who's trying to learn something new and actually wants to sweat the details. I got to impart some hard won wisdom on how to grab method.

Looks like 10" of snow and 9" of wind last night, altabird snowstakes got scoured. Should be fun. I'm rolling dice on tomorrow AM.

wow ..prices got steep to stay up hill...even w/ 50% off its $390+at the Cliff. LMAO was $195 full rate or so when I stayed there before moving to Utard. Probably would go for it except I haven't been able to get a ton of Vert yet...so legs are feeling it after 3 hours at this point. If I stayed uphill I'd like to be ready to ski bell to bell

Guess I'll hit the weights this week and just get up early this weekend. Heck w storm uncertainties and the road combo..I may just book a side job saturday, ski leftovers Sun/Mon. Any mags wanna hook up for some Bird turns those days?

anywayz> LOVE the STOKE so far> lets keep it rolling!

Bird’s knee deep. Zero lines on Zoom->Little Cloud. Fast laps on west side traverse, money.

I rolled out of there just before the road closed at 12:30. A very pleasant couple of hours in the Ho.

[schindlerpiste]

Awesome out there today. No need to ride the snake. The west face of Jup and McConkey’s trees were amazing, deep fluff with no one in eyesight.
