Looks like idiots on Loveland slid pretty big. Anyone know anything?

The snowpack is sensitive right now?
Thanks chief. Was curious if it was natural or human triggered. Didn't see anything on CAIC but did see an absurd amount of sketchy tracks around the pass this weekend
Sunny, cold, and stupid deep today. - Captain Obvious reporting.
Photographer's wet dream today. Hope to see some photos. My gear was too frozen to get any.
A couple shots from the backyard this afternoon.Quote:

Somebody is shopping for new underwear this morning.

How the fuck do four people get together the day after an avalanche warning drops to considerable and say "Hey, let's go ski Red Lady"? I can see the one guy waking up with a wild hair up his ass or something, but the four people who skied it before? Crazy. Hope they aren't sitting around patting themselves on the back for that one.
I think I'll add that picture to the spatial variability talk.
CB report was spooky. I saw the slide on Idiot's on Loveland, but didn't see any tracks in/out; CAIC says natural: http://avalanche.state.co.us/caic/ob...p?obs_id=43429
Also a slide on Grizz. Nice and deep out there but be careful. We were on Berthoud Saturday and saw a lot of guys with no avy gear making questionable decisions. When my buddy pointed out that they should be careful, one said not to worry, he has a "super wide powder board."
Oh good.
Yea I was out on BP previous weekend teaching a friend doing beacon searches and pit analysis and 8 people across 3 different groups had zero gear or beacons. I think I'm going to do beacon searches before I give any hitch hikers a lift up the pass from now on.Quote:

Damn. What is it about Considerable that people don't understand?
Avalanche danger, what's that? It already snowed, what do we need a forecast for?Quote:

Anybody have any inside word on when zuma is going to open? Tomorrow? Wednesday?
A-Basin was great today, snow is soft and chalky all over and the wind was loading up/buffing out the spine and pali face real nice at the end of the day. Handful of lines over on the pass that I wouldn't ski today. Several on the professor, a few more to the left (skied today). Some south in those slopes but also some east eh?
