ANY UTARDS UP FOR A DAWN PATROL TOMORROW?

[grizzle6]

Looking to head out if conditions are relatively safe. In need of a partner/s.

[grizzle6]

Bump. Would like to ski.

[Trackhead]

Dawn patrol your ass up I-15 to Logan and you'll get to ski with some folks.

[grizzle6]

Wish I could, but my flux capacitor just went out on my car.

[AltaPowderDaze]

i gotta be back at the car by 9:45, but i can go. where were you thinking? if it has good coverage i might even be able to bring my good skis.

pm me later- i'm headed to work out.

[phUnk]

Interesting... Where & when is the plan?

BumZ, Powho and I are planning something, but not into heading out early if it's dumping. (We're not barneys, but we're also not super-qualified to make strong stability assessments.)

[AltaPowderDaze]

i'll be busting out the good skis tomorrow. alta is open again for uphillers. anybody down for a dawn patrol?

It's looking more like a brunch patrol this time around.

[AltaPowderDaze]

ok, you can tell me how my lines looked and what the sloppy seconds were like.

[grizzle6]

APD--PM sent. Definitely down for the dawn patrol.

[gramps]

Dave and I will be showing up at about 7:45

Isn't that usually the case?

Just curious: What is a patrol? (I can figure out the dawn part.)

Are you just going out to ski, but requiring some hiking up?
Or, are you actually patrolling? And if so, what?

I imagine snow conditions, and that your job is Av Control.
Or, I could be entirely wrong.

Sorry if that sounds stupid, but this is bugging me.

That's when phUnk gets up, looks out the window, then crawls back under the covers til 10.

Dawn patrol is anything before noon in the Wasatch. Since that is all the time you need to get things done.

Otherwise know as the Wasatch Alpine Start.

[AltaPowderDaze]

dawn patrol completed. tr coming. then off to work.

[phUnk]

phUnk is skinny too lol

[Lumpy]

Got facked out of the Brighton opener today...looking to go in the AM tommorrow. B/C or resort.

[altachic]

^Lumpy, i'll be there at Brighton in the am. I'm pretty sure md9, blurred and foggy will be there as well.

Call me dude!

Dawn Patrol is a term popularized by this book. It technically refers to early morning (around 4 am) touring departures that put you on the ridgeline around sunrise. It's use has been broadened to include any early morning start, even if only leaving the TH at sunrise.

[TeleAl]

Thanks for that explanation.
Figured there was more to it.

Book looks good. If I lived there, I'd get one.

Similar guides exist here as well.
They're worth while for the hound in us all.

[AKBckntry]

So did this go down or not?

If so, how was it?

I am new to Utah and Utah skiing, so I'd like to find good places to BC.

Thanks
