Perhaps the March 77 inbound fatality at the Bird and inbound fatality at Alta sometime in the early 80's had an affect on Ian's perspective?
funny as hell video.

"Faceshots were optional" was the quote of the day, gracefully spoken from Jim's lady, Allison. In case you were stuck in church or something of the sort, it didn't stop snowing.. For a third day in a row. The sun poked for maybe 23 1/2 minutes before 5:00pm.. Somebody musta got a sun-run cuz I heard all sorts of hootin and hollerin coming from the Cardiff floor.
Went out for a rebate on yesterday, switched up the aspect on the second lap.. The runs I did skied more stable then yesterday (hell of a slide on the diving board).SW was skiing good. Had the time for one photo today, or was it the light? Video is on its way :party:
How many times have we seen that dawn patrol clip? Sweet stoke. I couldn't tell if it was dawn or if I was underneath the Bay Bridge today.

Liam designed the routes that allow Snowbird to open almost all of their terrain most days this year and while it is true that terrain was opened less in his time, Snowbird is a work in progress and was really not all that old in Liams time there. Additionally Snowbird had not yet become the big mountain/powder destination that it is today and therefore did not have the money for patrollers and explosives that they do today. As far as Alta being 100% open on a regular basis; not now, not ever.
Yah, what he said, ya Fuckwad!Quote:

YES!!!!! Fuck that fucking dumb fucker who tries to keep us from crossing 34 major avalanche paths right after a 40 inch storm!!! It's not like it's one of the most dangerous roads in the world or anything. That "avalanche expert" needs to step aside so we can get to the powder quicker.Quote:

Holy 3 days of faceshots the sun was out a bit more than 1/2 hour in the lcc yesterday and by the second lap on scotties the bottom was begining to set up pretty thick.
The text message from tToA gets me up before anything is closed.
That is all.

I know this is a long shot but throwing it out there...my roommate lost a Voile Drifter w/dynafit on the bottom 1/3 of Superior this morning. If you somehow come across it or hear anything give me a shout.
Haven't been here long enough to give much of an opinion, except to say that I've been pretty impressed by how quickly Snowbird gets most of their terrain open on powder days. Their patrol definitely gets the job done. I am curious as to why Powder Paradise generally stays closed for days at a time though? Obviously a huge hanging snowfield above it, but do they need good visibility to blast it? Just because everything else seems to open right away. Not complaining, just wondering. Anyway, this weekend was awesome.Quote:

Custies like this douchebag were always my favorite to fuck with when I was a big time ski resort marketing muckety muck. Douchebag would bitch about a slight delay while patrol worked avy control.Quote:

I’d offer a lift ticket for one of douchebag's friends to make up for the problem, which was well worth the cost of delaying douchebag up to an hour on a sick powder morning. Particularly since douchebags like this rarely have friends so the breakage on my free ticket was acceptable.
So douchebag, I'm assuming you have a Bird pass, correct?
Glad I asked what the issue he had with Liam. I figured it was some specific incident that gave him a red ass; no turns out he is just impatient, please go somewhere else.
I you had just woken up from a long-term coma yesterday and someone told you it was January you wouldn't have given it a second thought.
Nah, January is dry and cold, April's wet and wonderful.
Thought I got off to a good start up pole line to Superior, but I guess I thought wrong. I think we counted about 30 or so people headed in that direction, at one time there was 13 dude's puttin in the booter for us. It was nice, everyone had a good grin on their face (except maybe the dude breakin, dunno but thanks a bundle). PLenty of goods to go around for sure. Monte skied like you were in a dream :cool:
Here's the photos, couple of them are pretty comical. The one of Monte Cristo was taken on the beautiful morning of October 27, 2010.
Oh ya, anybody see that dude skiing down the Y at 5:30am sharp? I had to do a double take, sure enough he was rippin down in the pitch black with a pretty bright headlamp on. Wonder if he got spooked or that's his thing?
And one more thing. A HUGE thank you to the Marshall, James up LCC. Homeboy tooled me around looking for my GoPro that I dumbfound-idly misplaced. The Monte footy was saved! :wookie: Missed out on what I heard was a nice buffed out, face shot optional run down little superior and the room of doom, damn.

ha, good shit alecs. guessing the guy with the drifter in front of you is springs' friend?
Thanks.
Dude there was drifters left right and center, this way and that. Chargers, rippers, bamboozlers, you name it. This dude in front of me however, this dude's got his shit on lock and fuck no it ain't his drifter laying 20 foot under some rubble on Superior, hell, he didn't even ski Superior. In fact on my way out I coulda swore I seen a Gnome rippin the shit out the Great White Icicle monoski style. Fuckin rippin I tell ya.
And just so I ain't wasting precious thread space, here's a few more shots.

Wake me up when it snows again.
amazing weekend out there in the wasatch.
faceshots on every turn you wanted em.
twin lakes and then patsy proper on saturday, reminding me how much I love that whore.
Benson and hedges coolie and some cardiff apron love on sunday. crazy fun on sunday with the snow and only the hoots and hollers coming in from the mist to remind us that we were not alone even though we saw no one.
monte cristo to start the work week right. even ran into alecs up there. btw according to one 13 year lcc vet, today was about the best conditions one could hope for down monte cristo. effortless skiing for 3000' with a slight crust on the lower 200', i'll take that! hell yea! great weekend......
didn't notice any instabilities minus some surface sluffing. felt like i was skiing in slow motion at times the snow was so deep.

It certainly was one of those classic mornings in the pen

Wow. Superior got gangbanged huh?
I had a great return to Utah long weekend. I was too busy skiing and meeting up with old friends to post any obs Friday to Sunday, but I think everyone knows how incredible the conditions were.
Real quick stoke:
My first turns back in the game came on Raymond. Photo by myskishaveboobs.

Then shredded the shit out of Bengal Tiger. It was super deep up there on Saturday.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_B...0/IMG_1105.JPG
Sunday we cruised pass the gaper/bro train up Grizzly and had some fun in Wolvie Bowl and the Seagull. Got some cut cornices to go pretty large (not deep though) on the north-facing bowl off of Tuscarora right after some guys were standing on Wolvie contemplating center punching the Cirque. Hope they reconsidered.
Storm snow in the Seagull proper slid on the crust below but the sides skied well. Miniature myskishaveboobs here was digging the deep apron.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_B...0/IMG_1116.JPG
Said slide off of the Tuscarora north side on our way back to the ridge. ~300 ft wide and ran about 6-700 ft. Looker's left area naturaled about a minute after this photo was taken.

It just keeps getting better. Backcountry.com has stepped up with a donation to the Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center to keep weekend morning avalanche advisories for the Wasatch, Uintas, and Logan area and weekday afternoon updates for the Wasatch going through April 24. So keep checking in and telling us what you see out there and give a big thanks to backcountry.com.
And to the maybe 3 people in Utah that weren't on Superior yesterday morning, conditions are still pretty good...

back to the thread; my obs are we're enjoying a good season, terrain is filled in up high, things feel stable, and we may be washed away later this spring.
last friday...sweet - next storm q'ed up - no problems with closed runs at brighton and zero bitch biting and whining - yesterday south faces were rollerball - north faces in the trees were sweet - cornices are getting huge
Thursday should sound like 'replay'.
PLEASE STOP BRAGGING. I love this place too much to see you all cunt it up with this nonsense.
Spewing location after location and posting your video and pics disguised as backcountry observations is nothing more than vanity.
Can't you all STFU and ski? The skiing has been great! Isnt that enough? EVERYONE who wants to ski is out SKIING.
You bitch and moan about 'the pen' and the gapers you pass on the skinner, yet blog. Don't you see it is your actions that are the cause?
How many views is this thread up to?
the shit that gets hit, gets hit (superior), the shit that doesn't, doesn't. you sound worse than anyone else here, since you're the one bitching about everyone else being stoked about having a good time. you just need to get more creative...Quote:

Here's a good response to sir old-school.
I agree, its a crazy thing to see so many people getting after it the way they do these days. But sir eASTcOASTtreeskier was right; be more creative, hike farther, ski harder. Times are a changing my friend, back in your day there was probably only 2 billion people competing for oxygen, now there is close to 7. Just like TH could give a fuck about being plugged into a vein of coal, I could give a fuck less about being inconspicuous about where I go (ya I know, whoreable analogy). I'll always ski fresh here in the Wasatch, if I don't, I'll move somewhere like Silverton and cunt up there lines :fmicon:Quote:

Sorry I haven't been around the last couple days but I've been too busy turkey hunting and fishing to respond to your BS.
OK maybe Liam isn't a moron, just overly cautious IMO. All I know is after he left the Bird, the mountain was getting open a hell of a lot faster then when he was there. Now he's in charge of the road.
You guys are a bunch of selfrightous too cool douche bags.
You complain about the "Pen", but I suppose back when you skied the "Pen" it was cool.
That one little boy talks about all the people on Superior, You were up there too you little bitch! And you make it sound like you were the cool one up there and every one else was a Gaper.
That Jong talking about passing the Gaper/Bro train up Grizzly, what a fucking cunt, but I suppose back when you were in that Gaper/Bro train it was cool then.
SFB, we all know your too cool to ski the LCC because you've told us dozens of times. but in your defense, I completely understand the too cool for something thing. Because I'm too cool to fish that cluster fucked out river of the incredible shrinking fish that you love some much. How do know i'm just a tram monkey and unable to make my own snow safety choices? Oh I know, because I don't post about it on TGR. I forgot post counts on TGR = BC knowledge and skill.
I was skiing the Wasatch BC when you little eastcoast bitches were still sucking off your mama's tits.
Oh and BTW Alx88, POV on a stick is fucking gay! :fm:
I'm out. Never to post on this site again. All you "I'm too cool for everyone else" bitches have cunted up TGR.:fuckyou::fuckyou:
And cue the crickets..who gives a fuck if you post anywhere on the internet ever again...? Not anyone here...Quote:
