I'll let stronger minds ponder this one.

I like the tram jump idea, but bungees are weak, you'd better have ski-BASE'd it!

Dawn patrolled this morning in LCC. Up pole line into Cardiff. Around 6 inches of new, top layer was graupel on N/NE aspects. Good skiing. South facing was a couple inches on top of a melt freeze crust, not too bad. Didn't want to open it up though for fear of taking a digger into the awaiting sharks. Skis came out unscathed.

Snowbird 11/9
Skied Snowbird 2 days after opening on 11/9. Tram was open down regular with good coverage from top to bottom. Fairly crowded, but could have been worse. The view from the top of the tram looked like the dead of winter. Looks to be a good start to a great season. Sorry no pics yet, maybe next time. Rock n roll utah!!

Skied surprisingly good coverage in Wolverine Cirque today. Very fun snow, not lipstick on a pig.
Watch out for small slides on slopes above 40 degrees. Cut off a couple small slabs in the new snow today. Not enough for burial, but enough to knock you off your feet and send you hypothetically tumbling into rocks and things.
Weakness was obviously at the new snow/old snow MF interface.

'Bird was off the hook, today. Great snow to be found on Primrose, Silver Fox and around Wilbere Chutes. Lots of "rockstars" up there...Sage, B. Wheeler. Those 196 Brockers sure look nice.

uno = I'm on parent duty. I need to pick up my kid from school at 3:00. Also, although I was having a blast skiing today, I was bumming out that my dog was stuck in his varikennel for 4 hours.
dos = can't make it tomorrow until 10:00

I seem to have the flu or something, so I wasn't killing the gnar as much as I would've liked, but as I said in another thread, today kicked ass. Found about 10 turns of totally untracked under Little Cloud at about 3:40, knee to a little more deep. Missed the rope drop on Great Scott, hopefully somebody hit that. Still had a blast, best November 11th inbounds I've ever had.
Congrats, mags! We collected 1030.68! for birdman!

Anyone have an idea of how Brighton's opening day would be tomorrow? Shoddy coverage? Bad rock danger? My friend and I are considering ditching and heading up.
