How about we sled into the base of the SW couloir of Cascade, then wait for it to get nice and sunny?Quote:

It's a bit long to get there, you're welcome to join my scout troop at Aspen Grove instead if you'd like. We'll have hot dogs and jello!Quote:

Slight surface instabilities at 9K feet in BCC. Sluffing was happening at on the rain crust from Sunday night. Snow was light, in the 3-5% department.
East aspects around 9k seamed to be getting stronger. The interfaces below the storm snow were easier to pull out yesterday than today in ct's.

Not as deep in the North, but still a sweet day!

Likely another foot by the end of the day tomorrow.
Wasatch Back: Plenty of soft slabs and sluffing on Murdochs. Didin't see many bomb blasts (but the blackness may have been covered by fresh snow). The Can. opened Condor, and it was absolutely sick. Days like today make me happy to live in P.C.
Good skiing with I.G. and seeing MPPG on the hill.
lots of familiar faces around the canyons today, but somehow i missed yours. we did wonder where MPPG ended up in the afternoon...Quote:

Please stay clear of the North side of the canyon until the road re-opens ~08:30.
Plan accordingly, Thanks.
FYI had good results from the 15:00 mid canyon shoot today: White Pine Chutes, White Pine and Little Pine.
Doubling up.
Just found out Argenta is in the mix too.
Will try to shoot at some point tomorrow with an est. 15 minute closure in the mid-canyon.
Please stay clear of Argenta tomorrow.
Thanks again.
any idea what time (roughly)?Quote:

Well, break out your duct taped together Tankers, S-16's and Silver Pass. The lifts are still turning at Alta.Quote:

5+ years skiing around Tahoe taught me the Sierra cement backcountry stability rule: Wait 72 hours after the snow stops, then ski the goods.Quote:

A chute on the southern end of the west face of Timp also had an impressive slide.

That could really mess up a picnic.....But on the bright side, the line is even longer now! Thank you pineapple express.
