Yeah, Rob came over from the line to the Castle to the patrol shack. Complained that it "burned when he breathed". Never heard that symptom. Only other complaint was that he "didn't feel right". No history. Smelled like shitty weed. Almost made a joke. Glad I didn't.
6 stints and 6 weeks later he was back living life large. Glad he pulled the plug on the Castle that day on a gut feeling.

I don’t have much experience with Patrol at other Mnts but ASP is top notch. They work their asses off, are approachable, will give you a tip where the best snow is and frequently when thanked will turn it around and thank you for coming. (I’m glad Titus only kinda retired)

Ha..you know Rob..? Small world. Wonder if we have ever met? I do my best to ski a little with Rob when he is in town. He typically stays with my buddy in cwood heights. Crazy story though. RIP Ron.

I agree 100%. I thank every one I pass on a trail or ride on a lift with. Shit pay with high risk. They work for every fresh track you see them lay. This holds true for a lot of resorts I've been to, but Alta stands out for me as well.

You all are welcome. Got home at midnight monday night and promptly disloc'd my shoulder Tuesday morning, not even 12 hours after getting home. As much as its gonna kill me, going to sit this weekend out too. There will be more pow!

Went for a walk with an old friend yesterday, always good to visit him.... Argenta is open for business, but likely only open for a limited time

Guy, for real. I’ve been skiing ice all year. My legs are good. It’s you that should be worried. Not I and I. Let’s do this.
Go On Now

**WasatchFlatlander** · 02-23-2018, 06:59 PM

Anyone heading up to lcc early in the morning to beat the traffic and can give this jerry a lift at a park n ride? Otherwise I am planning on going to first stop at Midvale Fort Union Station and getting there at 7:52. Wife has to use the 4wd tomorrow or Id never hear the end of it.

The bird was awesome today, not many people either. Unfortunately I left a ski in the vicinity of tower three on the cirque... If anyone comes across a revision subtraction 185cm with black fks, drop me a line. It should make for a fun hike this summer!

**alect47** · 02-23-2018, 09:31 PM

Thinking about headed out to use my 3 days at Powmow sometime soon, anyone been recently?

**T-Boz** · 02-23-2018, 11:53 PM

I have some vouchers for squaw/alpine valid for this season. I am looking to trade anywhere from 1-6 vouchers straight trade for Snowbird tickets or vouchers. I would considered trade for Alta tickets also. Sorry if this is the wrong thread. PM me for details.
