The snow was talking today. 9500’, NE facing, all sorts of instabilities. Was gonna turn around but noticed an old slide from the last storm, skied down the bed of that.

Heh, I got back to my car at the bypass at 2:15, saw that skinner and shook my head. Dudes in the car next to me were marveling how badass it was.

Anyone riding the 994 bus to Alta/Snowbird? What is your experience so far this year? When/where did you get on? How much reduced capacity? Full at the 9400S/20000E stop? How about going down canyon after 3:00? Same questions for the 972 up BCC. Thanks.
Pretty fun out there.

No personal experience but I know an old tele guy at Alta who catches the bus there. He said it’s actually easier this year as everyone is afraid to ride the bus.Quote:

If you are able to, the best way to catch the bus down at the end of the day is to start at Alta. Usually pretty full by the time they get to the bird. This year may be easier though.Quote:

Weird ass conditions out there, can't say I've dealt with sun crusts on W faces above 10k in December too often. Lots of collapsing the second you step on a northerly aspect, those are going to need some time or a serious load to calm down. Poked around W and SW aspects, had to stick to gullies where wind transport has moved enough snow to bury the sharks. Lots of walking to get to 600' shots but it feels nice to be back in the alpine soaking some suns and high-speed turns:

^absolutely weird out there, went for the beat down up MC and hit skiers left of Gobblers, never in my years of BC skiing have I heard so much widespread collapsing... Even as we skinned the ridgeline within the trees we were hearing the thunder
Merry Christmas maggots!Quote:

Hope they are seen by those in need.
I was pretty optimistic as I always try to be about the fate of a great season's snow pack.
Sure not looking like it.
'Course ya never know, but,
Given the fact that there's lot of new folks about and we have a shitty snow pack,
This winter might magnify small mistakes...
back at ya oagQuote:

Merry Christmas y’all. Alta was fun today, always appreciate ASP keeping it liberal,keeping the ptex companies in business, and the locals frothing. Only fell off the high T once today going too fast through the rocky part!

I rode the bus to Alta from 6200 and Wasatch, today. 8:15, 12 people on the bus. Skied into and out of CardiffQuote:

Caught a bus at Reynolds Flat around 3 pm. 8 people. Would imagine prime time, weekends, freshies etc would be more crowded.
Skied settled pow in the sun on Cardiac ridge, didn't quite make the actual ridge line. No cracking, no collapsing.
Great to see you around these parts still WRA. Saw you crossing the road the other day and my daughter said hey there’s that guy!
