Today was incredible. Dogs got me up at 5 for breakfast so I just said ‘fuck it’, got my shit together and beat the road closure. Unsettlingly slow conga line going up the canyon at 5:55 and a packed GMD cafe had me a bit worried about the powder panickers, but vibes were good when Interlodge opened. 1st column, 2nd row and some wiley veteran moves on the high t had me and my buddy into High Boy all by ourselves. Skied right on for second lap. Bananas. First time I’ve had snow packed in my mouth in a few years.
Classic early opening at 9:02 and junk show on the canyon road made for 3 deep laps well before 10am.

Both untracked with the second lap having a solid 20 footer thrown in for good measure. Classic Utah powder the whole day long.
Never met so many stoked skiers all day long as today. Especially the first hour. You'd pop out of the trees, fist bump a stranger and talk about how sweet it was and then rip the next pitch together only to do the same thing with a new stranger the next lap. So much fun. Country club at its finest.
Holy fuck, that shit was silly. The Baldy Bash was kicking at the Tram Club last night, I was amazed Snowbird Ski Patrol pulled off a Sunday Funday for the books!
Shot my buddy Travis got of me.

Oh man what a day!! Just got off I80 in Laramie and I’m still grinning ear to ear. Met a bunch of cool people today, and the stoke level was at an ultimate high. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction or let me tag along for a run. The thirds to garbage chute shot with Jeremy was unreal. Hopefully the chase will bring be back your way at least once more this winter.Quote:

I decided to join the "running of the bulls" and was fortunate enough to snag 2nd chair. The 1st chair crew dropped too low on the High T so I slipped by them as they frantically tried to sidestep up. There aren't many things in the world as unbelievable as finding yourself the first to hit piss pass. High Boy delivered.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e4382b1ed.jpg

wow very jealous of everyone...
less than four weeks till I get there - so hoping for one of those days like I got April 9 last year....
Decided Alta was the move today. Green mammut jacket, blue pants, blue/green bodacious. Ask for change.
Alta will be the move today with no backside, ballroom, shoulder, or catherines. Our 3:30 Ho area was our deepest of the day.
Here's proof, first three are of 330 run, last 3 are of our 1:30 run:

Winds are up out of the west.
Not screwing things up too bad, but won't be the day yesterday was.
Git some...
Think I rode the lift with you yesterday dude! Make it back to work? Hope you had an awesome rest of the day.Quote:

Great pics! What a turn the season is taking!

Thought about heading up this morning for a couple backsides and then saw the traffic from 9400 backed up all the way to the wasatch light. No thanks.
I pulled into the Butler TH @ 8:15 no issues; plenty of open spots. Lapped NE facing shot into Butler Basin for 3 hours. Tits deep. Sun was in and out, more in till 2:15 or so. No noticeable dampness on the S facing on the way out. Not much in the way of evidence for avy cycle with the storm; just some new snow sluffing over cliff bands. Had clear views up to top of Gobblers and Raymond and no crowns visible. Corni (plural of cornice) everywhere though.Quote:

Yesterday at DV was good, not lcc country club bobmc periscope depth but first chair, maybe a foot if I was generous and nobody in the treeessss. Today Soli. First chairs on Moon, almost first on PH, the again on summit multiple headwall laps holy moly the honeycombhideout open and laps took us around the world to the top. Fkna. Good couple days!
It was weird. Road was open but not moving, but once we started moving it was smooth sailing. Made it in line right as lifts started spinning. Warm up lap down jitterbug was nice, fresh tracks down backside was even better. No pics but it was a good day even though they never opened the shoulder.Quote:

Also bibbys eat up the crud and float and turn on a dime in the trees
So, would it be worth it to buy a day pass for solitude tomorrow? Or should i just use my other free day at PowMow

Some turns from Alta today. First attempt at ski pole selfie, definitely a bit awkward.
Pretty sure we shared a table during the interlodge yesterday. Small world.Quote:

"The Utah Senate gave the final green light Thursday to a bill that could lead to creating more toll roads throughout the state. It voted 26-0 to agree to House amendments to SB71, and sent it to Gov. Gary Herbert for his possible signature. The bill allows use of newer high-tech electronic tolling methods. That could include systems with cameras that read license plates, deduct toll amounts from online accounts set up by drivers, or send bills to car owners’ homes.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, sponsored the bill especially to enable tolling to reduce crowding in Little Cottonwood Canyon in his district, when anticipated construction adds a lane there in 2020 or so. “It incentivizes car pooling or taking a bus,” he said."

Sounds like, other than LCC, these assholes don't even care about toll roads, but boy howdy are they gonna implement one up LCC. How will that help them get out during avy closures? Not sure it will make a lick of difference...
See LCC road conspiracy thread....Quote:
