    ^^^^ liquor is quicker and lighter so is herb. Looks like your crew was well fortified.
    tried this year but next season i'd like to harness the maggot powers and score it for a week. thing books fast now days under 2 hours.
    Definetly nicer to have it for consecutive nights. good skiing to be had around there
    Even coming from bcc it's a bit of a haul.
    Nice set up though. you could easily tent around it and use it for meals /warming with a large group.

    ^^^thanks and yes

    I see your powder eights and raise you a straightline


    hey, did that sheriff just start his truck when we passed?


    There was still dense but uncrusted snow in the shadows, but those shadows are getting a little shorter with each passing day. The crusts on E facing softened late morning, and with cold soft snow underneath, made for heavy but predictable skiing.

    Corn. Which I consider a sufficient conditions observation all by itself, except for that eight characters are required in a TGR post.

    freaks on a peak

    next trip up there i want to ski the guy in the forefront
    pk 104sumthin?

    Big willow cirque looked good
    crows ft. good to about here.

    then the crows anus got heinous
    a big one ripped through the gully
    sometime around the 11th petty amazing the way the slide carved out the walls of the gully. My jelly legs weren't linking to many turns in manky avvy chunder.
    glad to git sum with the guys I spend summer/fall dog hiking dimple dell with, looking up dreaming of winter turns.
    snow down to just above the water tower.

    Good stuff Dibs, looked like real nice snow off 10,292. I hit the BST for a quick run that afternoon, saw your truck in the lot and figured some crow's feet were on the menu.

    Let me know if ya wanna git sum this Sun. DAD. Things appear to be stabilizin moving into a springtime snow pack. no instabilities other than the debris feild noted. Never saw a crown but wasn't looking hard either. Not sure where the slidestarted seemed from start of debris fairly low on the slope but it ripped through that gully with a lot of force to carve those walls like that.

    Stairs




    Stunning day. The masses were on the other side (Bonkers)






    What do you do when you lose a ski and it rockets 1000 ft down Stairs Gulch? You keep skiing.

    Went up to Nebo w/ whapworth, jtrue, myskishaveboobs, and non-mag Eric. Nice day to be out. A small pocket ripped out on my second turn or so in the upper nw coulie on the skiers' left side (I was the 2nd skier). Took me about 40 feet or so, but it behaved more like a sluff than anything else. Whippet came in handy though. Other than that skiing was fantastic, but wouldn't want to be up there much later than noonish. Got a bunch of POV and nonPOV footage to edit later some time.

    Pyramid of Power


    We even did some powder 8s in the lower apron.
    TRs, photos, videos, and building skis (2 pairs so far...):

    Saturday, March 27th Superb day on Roberts Horn. Skied E and N aspects. Soft, creamy powder by 1pm on E. Nice dry powder pockets on N. No current instabilities, but we did see lots of wet sluffs from the pre-storm heat wave. Glorious day out in the mountains.

    got up to wolverine today. wasn't expecting wind but as we got up near the ridge it must've been pretty sustained in the 20-30 mph range. not a ton of snow available for transport though. quite a few tracks in the cirque, snow looked mediocre even on the north facing aspects. skied the big shoulder into the main chute, top of shoulder was windloaded but not too scary, mid chute was hardpack but crossing over to the north facing side of the chute there was good consolidated cruising snow that let me open it up and get some nice big swooping turns into the apron. N facing patsy ridge into grizz was skiing fantastically.

    I wasn't planning on repeating the NW Couloir this year but my friend begged me to take him (and his buddies) down it for his birthday. There was ice at the rap station which made it much spicier than normal. What better way to celebrate life than cheating death!


    But no matter how spicy the NW Couloir is, I just have to look at PLINKO to put things in perspective.....

    Howdy.....some great trip reports and photos!!!

    Just wanted to say hey, and share some of the the stoke from this season. For the most part been keeping it pretty mellow (minus first two photos), been a sketchy year.

    photos are in no particular order and are probably of no real use to anybody in terms of snow conditions of late, but hey its eye candy so enjoy!!

































    seems like there have been some bigger lines going down lately which is good to see!!

    hopefully this next storm will produce!!


    peace
