Considering the Provo mountains just picked up 9 inches of water weight, I'll be moving my picnic to the bottom of Cold Fusion

How about we sled into the base of the SW couloir of Cascade, then wait for it to get nice and sunny? Originally Posted by Mark H

It's a bit long to get there, you're welcome to join my scout troop at Aspen Grove instead if you'd like. We'll have hot dogs and jello! Originally Posted by Mark H

Guess the mille gazex wasn't coperating, so skied hidden canyon laps all day steep shots that hadn't naturaled were pretty easily ski cut and sluff was slow but plentiful and dense
face shots o plenty
plenty of sub 30 degree slopes with this
most appeared overnight but a few smaller ones sympethically released on putting return traverse in."When the child was a child it waited patiently for the first snow and it still does"- Van "The Man" Morrison

Slight surface instabilities at 9K feet in BCC. Sluffing was happening at on the rain crust from Sunday night. Snow was light, in the 3-5% department.

East aspects around 9k seamed to be getting stronger. The interfaces below the storm snow were easier to pull out yesterday than today in ct's.

Wasatch Back: Plenty of soft slabs and sluffing on Murdochs. Didin't see many bomb blasts (but the blackness may have been covered by fresh snow). The Can. opened Condor, and it was absolutely sick. Days like today make me happy to live in P.C.

HEADS UP!
UDOT will be shooting above the highway on the North side of Little Cottonwood Canyon; Road closes at 06:00.
Please stay clear of the North side of the canyon until the road re-opens ~08:30.
Plan accordingly, Thanks.
FYI had good results from the 15:00 mid canyon shoot today: White Pine Chutes, White Pine and Little Pine.

Doubling up.
Just found out Argenta is in the mix too.
Will try to shoot at some point tomorrow with an est. 15 minute closure in the mid-canyon.
Please stay clear of Argenta tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Well, break out your duct taped together Tankers, S-16's and Silver Pass. The lifts are still turning at Alta. Originally Posted by Dantheman

5+ years skiing around Tahoe taught me the Sierra cement backcountry stability rule: Wait 72 hours after the snow stops, then ski the goods. Originally Posted by Christopher3000

Speaking of slides on Cascade, this lovely debris pile just came off the NW Couloir. I would have loved to see this thing come roaring off that 1000 ft cliff. Originally Posted by Trackhead

That could really mess up a picnic.....But on the bright side, the line is even longer now! Thank you pineapple express.
