Brian decided to drop Bombay I belive. Top sluffed a little but not bad.

The three of us continued on at the top of Wolverine peak Kyle kicked off a slab of the new snow that ran on bed surface fulltrack through the schythe. Crown visable in pic

Ross and I skied big/bang pressure drop. Decent snow much sluff management and ski cuts required.
I skinned and others booted up grannys. Obseved lightning during an intense snow squall. Ross bootin/postholin up as skies once again cleared.

From the top of grannys we dropped down to Alta and the car. Boilerplate at top, good windblown pow in mid and heavy by the bottom. A few pics of Kyle on the way down.

Probably one of those friends of a friend deals. A super likable and competant touring partner though and this time of year, those can be in short supply. Picked him up @ the Rustler so I'm sure it was. The power of the Holy land is working me. Having knee dropping Alta tele dreams at night, at least before getting my ass kicked in Moe's Tavern yesterday.
