got some pics of that slide-ill post em in august when i get film developed.
Didnt see the slide. But then the bottom part of the mountain was so sticky, we just ran laps on Little Cloud![]()

Wasn't that something?! It's been a few years since I've seen Emma Road covered like that. I was right behind Moles and his buddy and they said they came across it before it had stopped moving. It was a lot of snow.Originally Posted by Xover
Starting with first tram this morning with Pointedem it was awesome. Knucklehead, Rock Garden, LC, Eddy Mo's was all open for the first few hours. Then the slide patrol had to close it all up. What a morning!
Ahhh you are sneaky. Yes today was the shizzle. Crazy about the slide...didn't see it.

1. you didn't get there for first tram
or 2. you ain't as strong as you used to be![]()
bottom was good and fun till 'bout 11'ish; then as you said staying up high was the key
even rode a tram (first tram if i remember right) next to Endless and he gave me the "typical Bird local to Alta local" attitude![]()

Yeah, I know it's a big scary mountain, and it's easy to get confused compared to your little molehill next door, but I'm positive it'll all come back to you once you make a few runs...Originally Posted by Xover
Seriously, I'll call you this week. We've gotta get out.
.... and you bust your ribs and tear God knows what ?CL trying to keep up with Coldsmoke .... BWA!!!Originally Posted by Endlessseason
I don't care to be witness to that or any other end of season injuries; would be fun to make a run or 2 or 3 with ya though ... wait till your pigeon closes and we get the "count on" it storm to smaoooth all out and nobody comes up, including D-Gay, and then we will ski together Mr. "I Can't Carry My Own Atomic Skis with Atomic Binders"![]()
"... she'll never need a doctor; 'cause I check her out all day"
heh.. Shoving a 326mm boot into a binding set for 315 is something I don't thinik you will ever see endless do again. Whoa that was ugly.
Yeah hope to see you this week crossover.
Just for the record, was in line for Gadzoom at 8:40, first tram would not have been a problem. As for #2, that is just a given. I really dont know why anyone skied down low in the morning though. Old lady and Rasta Chutes were money and if Peruvian Gulch isnt open, there is NO reason to ride the tram. No wonder people were giving you attitudeOriginally Posted by Xover

"I dont hike.... my legs are too heavy"
Let me start out that I am posting so you can gawk at the pic, and noone was hurt. the Mammoth one was bigger by many time but for me this is the biggest I have seen on open runs so far.
Well with 6-8 inches of heavy fresh snow made for some nice fun turns down Little Cloud bowl today http://www.snowbird.com/ski_board/photo.php?photo=318 but it all turned kinda of scary like around 11. Coming down an area of trees below Mark Malu bowl(40 degree pitch..i think), the snow below ripped away...this was no sluff, this was a decent sized wet slide. Moving slow as they do, i just turned away and watch it slide on down, luckly noone else was around below(would of been unlucky if caught in it). this was only a sign off things to come.
With in the day despite numerous closures, there was 3 avalanche that hit opens marked runs. first being on big Emma...then one more on Emma and one more on lunch run. There were numerous off trail, sloughs and slides, but too foggy to know really how many.
the first one on Emma was skier triggered and came down from the area between Wilbere Bowl and Gad Chutes. the slide was about 30 yards wide, and the debris field was 50 yards long. here is picture of the biggest one on Emma today. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...63684987XksERU#
On a side note Volkl Gotamas ski avy debris pretty well.
Cross posted from my post on ..... but hey you get to see the cell phone quailty picture of the first wet slide on Emma.
