Leaving for work channel 5 came on with that obnoxious alert and then called for HIGH AVALANCHE ACTIVITY FOR THE WASATCH AND NORTH. Strong winds will also wind load many slopes.
It is only the start, but advisories are up: UAC New Advisory
Keep your thinking caps on please.
Bumpin dis one
Nice reminder poncho.
I'll have to admit, I'm feeling jittery and nervous this season from the events that have already happened.
The dangerous day will be thursday, when it clears and people get excited.
the question is? how much dick waving will there be on Thurs and Friday ;)
bwahahaha
Quite a bit, if all goes well.;)Quote:

I totally agree! Nerves are definitely a bit twittered today. Excited yet nervous for the first big storm. Hopefully this will be the one we need to get the snowpack stabilized a bit. In the meantime, I think there's gonna be some rippers tomorrow...Quote:

Yeah. Suck Balls. Distant relative of YerMom's Chin. Weird. I've got a lot of friends out there...
YOU GUYS ANYHOW TAKE OVER 10 000 TIMES A GOOD AVALANCHE RISK FACTOR OR SO I THINK .... COMPARED TO LECH SKI INSTRUCTERS
YOU HAD NO RESORT SO YOU STARTED TO HUCK ... WHEN RESORTS CAME HUCKING WAS ON ... WHO WILL GET YOU TO NORMAL ???
STFU! Go cunt up the Euro thread. Mr Poundkey vanished, The Ogre vanished, even DINMS vanished (although I wish he'd come back) why can't you vanish? So tired of your incoherant babble - with the ALL CAPS key engaged even. :cussing: </end rant>Quote:

Mixed bag of terror?
all i know is that the bird is already reporting 10" as of 2:30 PM and the storm hasn't hit yet.

TH, you think the roads up LCC and BCC will be closed around 5-5:30AM tommarow(Tuesday)? I really wish udot would post somewhere about when they are closing for plows and avalanche control
Go here.........UdotQuote:

wanna join us tommarow TH???? Some mild stuff up BCC? 5:20AM at the park and ride?
no plan to shoot the valley gun tomorrow morning. no word of control work from udot either. i don't believe the south facing stuff is getting worked quite as hard as the NW-E aspects. the lcc road may close but it doesn't look like that will happen before first tram.
We went up and hit up solitude this morning...started riding down at about 7:00AM. The roads weren't nearly as bad as I had expected. It was 4 degrees on my subi's thermometer when we started out...brrrrr!!!!! Just to be safe(due to the Bruce's early morning advisory), we skinned up the groomers to the top of the lifts that end mid mountain and then just road down the powder shoulders next to the groomers. The powder felt almost sticky. I couldnt get much speed in it..it was really odd feeling snow.
Today is a high avalanche danger day. Best stick to resorts.
Wow, I am very surprised you went out on a High Avie day. At least you used your head and went somewhere controlled.Quote:

Yeah, after listening to Bruce's report at 5:00AM, there was no way I was going to go into the backcountry. We didn't even ride the black diamond runs at solitude just because they hadnt been blasted yet, and there was a good 20" on them. I figured that riding the 30ft wide powdery shoulders of bluesquares (with the center section already groomed out)would be a pretty damn safe option...Low angle, not alot of snow between the trees and the hardpacked run, easy escape to the side...I dont know that you could get any safer.Quote:
