Sir heady is a know-nothing dipshit. Pay no mind.
Snow held up well under the cold Temps and moderate wind. Yesterdays easterly up-slope wind on the pc Ridgeline affected the very top but mid-thigh deep once you got half way down.

People skiing nearby saw the avalanche and took note where they last saw the woman. They began digging immediately and the woman was located by ski patrol, Lavely said. Once she was recovered, she was flown to a hospital. She suffered only sore muscles, Lavely said.
The woman's 35-year-old brother rode out the avalanche but broke a rib and had sore muscles. He was transported to the hospital by ambulance, Lavely said.
The incident occurred shortly after 3 p.m. in the No Name area of the resort.
Whoa chill y’all I was asking a question. I have no idea about their avy mitigation protocol .

I was hiking on fire road at base and heard copter and saw ambulances coming up. Hope they heal up ok.

This ski instructor is losing his job.
Just to add to the stoke, the shoulder was DEEP yesterday. Best powder turns I've had in quite a while.
Afterwards, it took me a while to figure out how I got so much snow in my bibs...turns out I forgot to close my thigh vents before dropping in.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...68224c1752.jpg

Classic move. Lots of fun cross loaded pillows along the vertical e ridges that you can ski top to bottom.
It's Settled a bit today. Still good though.
Big Cottonwood quick hitters got hammered by weekend warriors. Every aspect and open face was basically tracked out.

Despite that, we found some untracked lines, and damn the powder is still cold and blower. Hit west-facing glades - still have to watch out for logs though. One more good storm and this miiiiight feel like normal. Exit out of Bear Trap was... spikey.

Did not see any avalanche signs. Not even on the big stuff across canyon.
Definitely the coldest tour of the season so far...
cold day, snow still great. w facing BCC ~10k’ was killer, and snowing at a decent rate down to ~7500’ when I left around 2.
^ no doubt. great turns in mill d this morning, didn't see anyone until after 10. stoked to hear the girl is going to be alright. sweet picts abound. mtnbiker/boarder, when are you heading out?Quote:
