WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 17-18

**mall walker** · 12-11-2017, 07:16 PM

lol where did you move to?

also yeah the public transportation is highly impractical for most people here, which is unfortunate imo but not gonna change anytime soon either it seems.

anyway it’ll all be moot once the next system blows it away, I’m pretty tree-huggy personally but even I can’t get too worked up about the inversions here. it’s never that bad and it’s never for that long. plenty of places have shit air all year round.

That's more due to shitty urban / regional planning than anything else.

Most people do not enjoy sitting in smoggy traffic unless they're mentally retarded or some sort of masochist.

anyway it wasn’t bad even up at around 6k today, snow lingering low on the shady aspects

Stick to the pen.

Went for a walk just outside the pen today, we choose to leave the skins on for most of the descent.... Got all hopeful after a fun walk on Sunday around the perimeter of Alta, that new lift looks fancy

I would trade that smog for the unbelievable restrictions we have on individual liberties and freedom of movement that we have here in a heartbeat.

The next person who mentions the "benefits" of public transportation is going to get punched right in the babymaker. Sure, then you ride that bullshit, I'll enjoy driving my internal combustion vehicle everywhere I can.

THAT'S THE AMERICAN SPIRIT!
BEND OVER AND TAKE IT! AND DEAL WITH IT! LIKE A MAN!

**brutah** · 12-12-2017, 06:16 PM

Heal up quickly Icey Baby!
Hoping that the break wasn't bad and that you'll be skiing around in jeans in no time!

Here's as close to backcountry we can get right now.. without risking major rocks/ enjoy

**mall walker** · 12-13-2017, 02:01 PM

found some soft turns in upper promised land today. haze is high, could hardly see raymond from the guardsman road closure. lower PL is a mess, hopped a lot of down trees... no core shots tho so there’s that.

a stunning amount of upd up there for the traffic/day I thought

**claymond** · 12-13-2017, 03:35 PM

Ha, I've only skied Promised Land once, around mid-December last year, and remember thinking how it needed way more snow for the lower section not to be hazardous. I can only imagine how bad it is right now. Fuck coreshots, not breaking bones is good enough!
