I read a DOA publication from the 70's that demonstrated the measurable, but seemingly negligible impacts of cornice killing on spring watershed. I'm assuming there are still reasons for blasting cornices to prevent sublimation, but letting the snow pile up is gives one perspective. Triggering the slide and skiing what's left along the margins (hangfire) is selfish, but depending on how things ran it could give you a better idea for what's stable on a particular slope, as well as valuable obs that could be extrapolated more broadly. But just because it didn't go doesn't mean it won't, so I guess it's better to use the cornices as huck points, and just put your money where your mouth is.
I don't think anyone disputes stomping cornices is a tool to assess slope stability, its a damn good one. But the use of it to get yer jollies is the issue. In particular the monitors on the park shitty ridgeline, n facing, generally always loaded ready to pop. You can look at the and tell yep uber windloaded, lets not go there. Bringing them down when you have no intention of skiing them seems kind of senseless to me. This white fellow puts up obs on Uac almost daily, tours with Kobernick and posts shared obs with him. He has to know the score. Hasn't he posted in the wasatch obs thread in the past? Maybe he could come on here and esplain why he can't walk the PC ridge without stomping the cornice on west monitor....

i don't think spindrifties stomped the last one he was just wanderin by out touring with his ego
he rolls that way
and i think the pottymouth self appointed queen o wasatch tried to justify it somewhere in a thread here
search or gear up and get your soli thurs on
we can go out to wolvie and go pro ourselves creating repeaters
like the pros
I found these today.

Coulda, shouda, wouda stomped on um but...no gopro. :nonono2:
I guess nature will just have to run it's course.
Today We witnessed a natural cornice break on conehead PC ridgeline. It started causing some sluff, untill about half way down a piece of bouncing cornice released a pocket to the ground probably 70-80ft across up to 2-5ft deep.
Mark White was nowhere to be found
You guys ever consider that white may be saving someone's life by clearing the monitors? Lots of folks move about along those ridges and many of them that don't know how dangerous those slopes can be could easily be lured in.

I was taught by a wise kootenay inhabitant that you can chop over any type of terrain trap anytime.
Other than that, don't f with it unless you've deemed what's below skiable now and you intend to make
turns on it now or you already have an objective and this is your pre-sighting look for a subsequent lap.
Otherwise preserve
Sometimes ya just don't know what lurks below. So do ya feel lucky? I agree with the preservation statement.Quote:

aint so sure "CREATING REPEATERS"
is the way to keep anybody on top
but i aint an expert
It is hard to take the ski patroller out of the backcountry avy caster. Many also want to be stars
Too scary!Quote:

Photos from yesterday, no cornices dropped. :fmicon:
the powder turds were flying VERY low all day yesterday along the PC ridgeline.
I thought there were FAA guidelines, and they werent suppose to do that? anyone know if thats correct, Ill try to get video in the future if so....
Wise indeed.Quote:

This resulted in them looping over mid to upper Thaynes Canyon and 9990 area three times real low. Probably about 50 yards above the trees at the ridges.Quote:

Guess who we saw stompin' cornices on W Monitor yesterday?
Mark white, (aka Spindrift on here) is a fuckin' wannabe UAC assclown, his bullshit routine is akin to a firefighter that starts fires just so he can act the hero.
We watched him trigger a small predictable wind slab at the top, ripped out maybe 40' across and litter the slope with debris. he did this as my friend waited patiently at the top for 5 minutes as he played UAC forcaster. Then he didn't ski next to his debris, he traversed over to where my buddy had staked out his line and skied it.

What a fucking self-important and entitled asshole....

I don't think spindrift-on-here's real name is Mark.Quote:

I was a few minutes behind, but I could see them standing at the top....I believe my friend saw most of it. ( it's pretty obvious from the pics of the cornice fracture that it wasn't natural.)
Anyways, the point of my tirade is that it's Pretty dick to take down a slope, creating a bunch of trundled debris, exp when you're aware people are right there and want to ski those lines. It was totally unnecessary...
if you couldn't already deduce how that slab was going to behave without whomping it than maybe u don't belong up there to begin with.
Just knock that shit off; there are plenty of places you can test slope...
My apologies; Spindrift65.Quote:

Sounds like a dick move done by a right prick. Especially poaching your buddy's line after ruining many perfectly good ones.Quote:

You guys ski around too many people. I usually don't see a soul. I also do whatever the fuck I want since no one is around
good point.Quote:
