If so, nice job! I was heading up towards that ridge and got a front-row seat for the ice falls huck & stuck.
Did you ski the lower right, or lower left exit?Quote:

There, I got that off my chest:rolleyes2
Watched Crows Foot be ridden from 90th and I15 with binoculars about 5 pm. Nice sluff on ski/board cut from top. Ran quite a ways. Spotted yah on the quite insane skinner. Good Work!
We skinned up the west, skied the east. But that bottom is spoooooooky, even in stable conditions.Quote:

We broke trail and got first run, by the time of our second run another splitboarder had gotten a run (dude was rocking butter smooth turns) and on our way out roughly 64 more people were on their way up.
Here's some photo-graphical evidence that today's turns were just as good as any made this season. And here's the FB video, I might put on youtube in a while; http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/vid...93020&comments

And I've heard others call it the St. Bernard Couloir. So we have people seeing it as either a dog, dolphin, or crow tail. It's time we assemble the Grand Wasatch Maggot Council (GWMC) and name this thing once and for all. I'll bring nachos....Quote:

I have no desire to see Athey's white ass in photos, or in person. No offense Bob. Plus, I think Rusty Trombone might just like seeing that from the air anyway.
37 miles of nordic skiing today over the Mirror Lake Hwy. Warm temps, light winds, perfect snow.
My obs:Reids Peak South Couloir is good to go. Skied it a few years ago, and it appears nearly skiable from the top with some billygoating.
Reids is the peak on the right, with the south couloir shown.
