In my opinion, no, it's not worth going up there with a sled, ever. Unless your intent is just sledding.Quote:

Sledding: Go up Snake Creek from Midway. You could get way up to the back of Alta and Brighton and it would most likely be epic.

Aggghhh! I have to live vicariously through all of you until the weekend. Looks like the snowpack is already starting to settle - Collins snowstake went from 40" last night to 36" this morning. Keep the observations coming and GET SOME.
Is it just me, or is it going to be another awesome season??? :):)

Shmoesmith and I got some at alta this morning.
I think I saw skidog and crew while we were skinning up the cat track.
We only had time for 1 lap, and I need to find where my tele groove went...

saying "change for a nickel" to everyone on that skintrack this morning wouldve been funny though. the looks wouldve been priceless.
Hope to meet you sometime.
Ill be at the tram plaza at the bird tomorrow at 8:15 with a bunch o peeps.
Join us.
Spent the morning up LCC. Bypassed Alta to avoid the crowds and laid down a couple of laps and still only saw a handful of people. Blower pow and deep. Best couple of runs I've ever had this early in November.
Drove by Alta on our way down at 9:00. My guess was there were at least 100 cars in the parking lot.
I'd be a fool to debate this wisdom. Bluebird awesomeness this morning.Quote:

Heber Interconnect! Then over to Kamas, then the Uintas, and then north to Jackson, and eventually Bozeman, the Candiand Rockies, ending with a lift up the Messner Couloir.Quote:

Ran into a couple of guys from BC.com. I think one of them was a buyer?
I'd love to join ya tomorrow at the bird, but I have to do the evil W thing in the morning.
Not entirely true.Quote:

Low snow?!
No. Not enough to ski.Quote:

Obs from today:
one good size natural out of old reliable. probably had a 2' crown and ran down mark malu. it likely ran on the wet facets from early october. the rain event above 10.5k dropped about 2" of water and thoroughly soaked them.
good skiing in gad valley but most of the high elevation in P-gulch got wind affected. we did a lot of setup today and will do more tomorrow. i still can't believe that we're opening at 9am. 3 days ago this wasn't even a thought for most of us.
Hit a rock on a sled and it can cost you thousands. They sink a lot more than a skier, ya know.Quote:

Winds coming from the south up Main Chute were depositing a lot of snow on top of us. The winds were scouring the north facing ridgeline and depositing snow on the south facing aspect. We witnessed a few propagating cracks in the top 6-8 inches, North aspect around 11,000 ft. Other then that everything was pretty bomber.

FIN
Sick shots, JTrue. We should get out and rip it up. Anyone going to the bird tomorrow? There's going to be some serious carnage... there really isn't that much snow. I took a digger on N. Baldy after slaying some sharks.
I'm going out. But not to the Bird or Alta.Quote:
