Finally made it out west and I'm working Sat-Mon at Brighton all winter. Pretty damn stoked. If anybody is up there I am always down for a ride break.
My name's Rob. I work in the rental shop.

Does the radar act weird when there is a SW flow? According to the radar, LCC has been getting moderate precip all day, but the cams and stake do not agree.

It was on and off all day at Alta. What little fell was blown to hell by the nuking winds. Originally Posted by funkendrenchman

Don't know if this helps answer your question, but the weather gut on TV last night said they had the radar set extra sensitive for the approaching storm, so it was reflecting even when there was no precip. Originally Posted by funkendrenchman

About 2' of new as of noon today on the PC side. The most recent top foot is less dense than yesterdays graupel, but not by a lot. Tilt tests revealed several of density changes in the new snow. CT's produced easy-scoring collapses in the less dense layers but all had q3 shears. We stayed out of wind-slabbed terrain, but I bet there's plenty of em waiting to pop along ridgelines.

We were just over the ridge from you, testing out the pen perimeter, but not before I forgot my jacket and Guy forgot his boots. I guess that's the early onset of Alzheimer's in my case. Originally Posted by The Gnarwhale

Heard/felt four different collapses on south-west aspects around 9.5k’… pole-probing-skintrack-get-the-hell-outta-there observations seemed to be indicative of a not-so-supportable layer only a couple feet down. Didn’t dig a pit… just skied to the car and scurried off to work. Just important to note that even those aspects that we might assume to be fool-proof can proffer the heebie-jeebies. Be safe out there.
Snow wasn’t blower pow, but I’m not complaining… was probably exactly what we need for the snowpack, this time of year. Felt good to get the legs burning.Click here to increase your vocabulary.

Next few waves of energy will rotate in until wednesday afternoon. Maybe another 1-2 feet. Depends on the events of tuesday night and how far down into the wasatch range the real atm. instability makes it. Regardless its going to come in VERY cold with pretty nasty winds and windchills. I'm no expert on windloading but it sure seems like by wednesday afternoon there might be some sketch-tastic pockets and hard packed windslabs in areas with West/NW exposure.

Skied Saturday and Sunday in upper BCC 10k-10.5k mostly straight east facing shots. Also skied some N and NW trees. Winds were just howling and made the skin interesting, but every windslab we found and jumped on was quite stubborn. Did meadowskipping and tree laps with no instabilities noted up to maybe 30-35deg at rollovers, which we were mostly able to skirt around...
No quality shears on any pole-isolated hasty pits, really fast and fun snow. Plan on getting some more tomorrow... super psyched on the quality early season.

Mid-elevation, east aspects. Too lazy to dig a pit and get all techy. No instabilities on our slopes up to the mid 30's.
Used to carry an 8lb HDV camera, now I carry a cell phone for video and pics
Bouncy hero snow, light winds, occasional sun. Nice day.

I lost a friend in one of the lower angled runouts below the meadows last year. Believe that would be the first death in the area. Doug's drop didn't kill him, just broke a leg. He died in south fork.
They finished with the meadows, today.
I thought conditions were surreal. No naturals, plenty of wind load.
We stayed conservative(not the meadows).
Word has a monster coming out in the bc around Hidden Canyon, Brighton. Cornice kicker.
