Question for Altards regarding terrain

[cmsummit]

The resolution on this map sucks, but I figure folks familiar with the terrain will know what I'm talking about.

On my trips to Alta I always enjoy hitting this line at least a couple of times off the Sugarloaf Quad(conditions permitting of course). I was wondering what the cliffs @ #1 were called(30' to 40') and what is the shot through the cliffs @#2 that is only straightline-able( maybe 6' to 8' wide at the choke and steep(50-55deg?) at the top. Is this called the batcave?

Thanks.

You picked the wrong day to ask the question - I think most of the Utards are still up on the mountain. I had to come back to the city for work. 10" of creamy deepness, and the snow is just pounding up there at this point.

To answer your question, yes, I think #2 is the batcave. No idea about the cliffs in 1 though. But yeah, they are big.

1= hell if I know
2 is pointing at the cliffs above Cecret Lake. From the description it sounds like you're really talking about Bat Caves which are a little further down. The upper Bat Caves line at its widest is only like 8-12 ft wide and the entry varies from about 2 to 5 feet depending on the snow depth. Do a search and you'll come up with some pics of the bat caves.

Those cliffs above cecret lake have some cool lines. I recall a 20-25 footer to face plant by CS at last years mini. Fortunately the landing was soft.

Ha, you alta locals and your "secret stashes". It's secret between you and about 500,000 other people.

Nothing "cecret" about those cliffs and chutes, my friend. The true stashes are rarely if ever mentioned here.

Come down sometime and get away from the shrubs.

Scrub oak is the shit.
