White Pine is holding still good snow, all though the walk is long for some, worth going up. Seems to be more 'consistent' with windboard / sustrugi up high and soft low.Quote:

The 3rd (I think) snowfence has two interlacing trail cams pointing at it, I wouldn't do anything dumb by those fences.Quote:

Will skip today and get back at it Monday.
For real though I skied some really fun stuff yesterday, I may need to replace my rock skis after a run out p-tex point, but it was worth it.
Today was surprisingly super soft at alta and even better than yesterday. Believe it not, it snowed for about 30 minutes

Nothing like riding a lift and looking down while patrol is loading someone into a sled and realizing it’s your kid. Turns out he tried to throw a daffy over a tree gap, caught his tip and got driven down shoulder first. Ended up with a sprained shoulder and a hairline brace fracture in his clavicle. Tough lesson about days to go big and days to pull it back. All things considered he dodged a bullet though since the doc says he’s only out 2-3 weeks. Having kids is fucking stressful sometimes.
Shout out to Alta patrol for getting him off the hill.

Anyone been riding Brighton lately? Been there for a couple Saturday's this December and these reservations are quite strange. They say the parking is fully reserved but its now been 3 weeks where I have seen it not even close to full at 11 am. Not sure what is going on but I will say the commute up the mountain has been 10X better than last year. I could have left without issue at 8:20 to make a 9:00 start.
nevermind, tbatt, dont go to bed. that was the best torchlight fireworks in years at Alta this evening. :yourock: :yourock:
Looks like everyone partied too hard last night https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...da50cb31ee.jpg

ASP gave us a New Years gift and got Devil’s Castle open this morning. Probably wanted some compaction before this weekends storm. Nice to have a few fresh turns again.
Did a tour from Alta.Quote:

I counted four fenced, two remain standing. No trail cams observed.

Still some clean lines in Ivory. Pretty beat up otherwise.
The snow play at Reynolds flat is...
the Alta parking is getting ridiculous. I had a reservation the other day and couldn't find a spot, had to drive home. WTF.
Probably a lot of tourists up there who were not aware of the reservation system or didn’t mind paying the fine. Has anyone else missed out on a parking spot at Alta when holding a reservation? I’ve never heard of it happening before.
There was the bathrobe crew on New Year’s Eve skiing pretty classic look and cozy

This is the right move right now. I got some GS skis to compete with my racer spawn and have found them to be a great alternative to whining and crying.Quote:
