Fritz and were talking about the roll on Wed when the snow we were standing on gave us a wooomph. We took that as a sign.Quote:

Dear rocket scientists: SE Russell is also avalanche terrain ;)
Little first hand recap from this afternoon...

Nice of them to help compact the waterfall lz for later this season.
Damn. I guess that it's better to be lucky than good.Quote:

because you're ice climbers. that already indicates lack of brain function. ;)Quote:

What's good tomorrow, recommendations?
Floral delivered today. I'd check it out if your going up.
Yet again, HHA delivers the goods. Goddamn good day.
Too bad about Floral, thought about dropping in but just kept lapping HHA instead. Good to know.
Good stuff today. It had been a while since i got 1st tracks down the 90s
Floral was really, really good in the morning. Never crossed a track.
Very few tracks in the 90's today. How's the snowpack in that area? Was awful last time I checked it out - overall thin and slides galore.Quote:

Coverage was great until about 2/3 of the way down. Where it steepens and you start getting sluffs there were some sharks. I didn't clip anything until the powerlines.Quote:

Super fluffy yesterday. It's nice to watch the snow gradually pile up day by day. Here's some late afternoon stoke from the north side:

I can't wait for the holidays to be over. Pretty shitshowesque about midday yesterday. A lot of close calls on the road from the combination of gapers gaping, skiers crossing the road, and pissed off rednecks trying to get to after-Christmas sales at Bass Pro in Denver.
...not to mention the shitshow on snow with someone spending 45 minutes traversing above all of the Westside cliffs from Nitro to Rush and then back again...Quote:

Damn it was good today. Super deep in spots after these two storms.
