Well, Jackson Hole wasn't as nice to me, but Alta always treats me well.Quote:

I'll give a shout before I come out next time. Maybe DTM will have slowed down little by then, and I'll be able to hang.
I guess thatd be me 321 represent! marcg is my backup and rides dirty like a true soldier outta the 407 should lol! See a lot of Floridiot plates in Utardland so I think its a thing now. Im gonna try to spin some laps with DTM soon and attempt to gauge my radness against true radnicity. I image I will be at least an order of magnitude lower on the radness scale. Definately hollar next time you come out and we will rip some laps!Quote:

well flying out Friday to what seems at least till mid week cruising the pistes at AltaBird.
Never heard back from Rondelle -
so will go day pass for Alta Saturday, then Spring pass at Snowbird from Sunday(couple Alta top ups). Will do a day Deer Valley next Thursday.
Seems it will be nice and warm in SLC for staying at the Crystal Inn in Midvale, packing mainly shorts.
Don't leave gear in your carQuote:

high N facing still pretty creamy in the trees, low angle yesterday PM. Bit of a breakable crust about 1-2" down on anything else.
Looked like the highest elevations were getting a bit scoured by the pretty persistent NW winds up high. Not really any wind effect on the snow from 10k down off ridgelines.
or skiing playing the bagpipes!!!Quote:

Have we really had a good melt/freeze cycle? I haven't been up this week. Seems with the new snow Monday and mostly cloudy conditions for the rest of week we probably didn't get a hard freeze and melt. Maybe though...Quote:

Did white pine Couloir this morning. Down low (prob to 9kish, wasn't really paying attention) was crust but supportable, coming out around 11, it was soft). Up top snow was dry and super variable, not bad but not great. Oddly enough skied a section that was an easily breakable crust over feet of graupel. Never skied anything like that but it was like skiing in slow motion. It was Very difficult trail breaking and wish I hadn't left the Verts at home.Quote:

Nice pics all! Went to Brighton Thursday (cousin) /Friday (kids). Thursday morning was a ton of fun and we basically had milly to ourselves. Friday couldn't have been more proud of my 4 year old. Went on majestic with me and pizza'd a lot of sections better than a good many adults. Brighton Ski School has been life changing. 4 year old has improved so much over 5 weeks its crazy. Signing both of my daughters up next year for sure.
What's up Utah? I will be in you tomorrow. Will be splitting time between snowbird and Solly all week with wife and kids in ski school, depending on weather. Is there still cold snow on North aspects up high at the bird or are we chasing the sun already? Weather forecast seems to change every five mins.

well I had a great day at Alta today - main chute some stuff off the backside - once it all softened it was great. skied 9-3.50 tired now.
The hike up baldy reminded me of the height here - think I deserve a steak tonight.
looking forward to tomorrow at Snowbird.
Anybody know what was up with Search and Rescue around 3:45 today in the lower canyon? Maybe between the A and B gate?
In other news, used a WB bird pass today. That place rips in the sunshine, forgot how much bigger and faster it is than Alta.
Spent the day getting my boys to Love spring bumps and jumps at Solitude. I’d like to say I had something to do with it, but the sunshine and snow did it all. They couldn’t get enough altabird trail once the bumps were softened.

According to OpenSnow, we have a chance for a big storm Saturday - Monday especially higher elevations. Let's pray the cold air comes in earlier than expected as right now Saturday is looking like rain.
Thanks man. We came from Alpine. Coverage is poor on the south side. Snow was intermittent between the first and second hamongog. We were able to skin and ski above the second hamongog. Above that heavens halfpipe had snow but it's obvious the snowpack is very low with tons of boulders and rocks showing. NW super Couloir on box elder looked pretty fun and more exciting with lower snow levels.

^^ was looking up at lone peak this weekend with binos, just wondering.... thinking the south approach would be a long walk carrying gear. great stuff and appreciate the beta.Quote:
