Pole deep on the shoulder. Maybe slightly deeper. 40ish inches.
A slight layer of ice at the bottom of all this new snow. Maybe Saturday's stuff melting around. Any rocks we hit had the sheen of ice over them.

This is awesome.
Next major event is looking like it swings in from th SW- like through Central Cali/Tahoe then into UT. At least that's what the AM Nam and GFS models were looking like when I checked them this am.
I checked in to Alta craziness this morning about 7 and had 3 sweet laps on Greeley. Hit no rocks or anything, and I was on skinny skis! Saw maybe ~100 people spread out over Alta, but I'll take if for a last minute decision to go skiing in October. A lot of goods to be had out there, I was way surprised with how good this morning was.
Oh. Fuck. Yes!
this is fucking awesome. next weekend is going to be my first in utah. making the move from maine. this might be a retarded question but where im from we usually arent skiing till 1st week of december. how does this compare to seasons in the past as far as early season snow goes?
completely normal, it'll be melt/freeze for a couple more weeks though.Quote:

Nice to meet you up there, Jtrue. Over the boots.
lionel you're killing it.. keep em coming.
We started at the crack of 11:30am, cause I spend mornings wrenching on motos on October, not getting out of bed early to do something silly, like skiing.
Tom forgot his sunglasses.

Crowded in the pen, but who cares, everyone is smiling.

WTF? The entire mountain is tracked out, but what's that to the skiers left of Main Chute? By golly, nobody has skied that yet.

Still hasn't been hit.

Still hasn't been hit, but Main Chute is getting hammered by the herd.

Nice to be back in the hills.

Got to the top of Baldy and skied the line just skiers left of Main Chute. Hit maybe two rocks, the rest was pretty much perfect.

Went up for another lap. Normally I wouldn't post such shitty, blurry pics. But my camera is busted, and hey, it's October, so.........

Little billy goat to sneak in to the bottom of Main Chute.

Well done all.
Not much different that being on a chair with folks from outa town who just are having a good time being where they are in the moment. As opposed to the "pain train" mentality in some spots.Quote:
