    June Avies and Pow 6-6-07

    BWAH! You didn't tag shitt

    Did a lap on the shoulder, which was ok. But met up with Guy and ran a lap in Ballroom, which was very good. Then went up for another, but decided to boot up Main Chute to take a look. Got about half way up, and we decided to bail, due to rapid windloading and increasing danger.

    Baldy Chute had easily 1.5 to 2.5 feet of snow in it. It was deep, soft, and very skiable. But also dangerous. The rest of Alta had about 1 to 1.5 feet. The exit out Corkscrew late in the day was absolutely PERFECT!

    Guy, wishing he brought his Verdicts.


    June or January? Xover hauling.


    Called JoshP, but he said "It's biking season". Not today.


    Our last run, we booted up Main Chute. The weather was heinous. 40+ mph winds, cold, graupel. Feeling kinda soft really.


    Guy, at 8:15pm, dark skies, 800 ISO, not enough light. But the snow...........
    I cut two small slabs about 2 feet deep that ran 100-200 feet. Interesting. Glad Xover suggested stopping and turning around.


    Best June pow day I've ever had. Xover hauling again.


    Notice the smile.


    Tomorrow morning should be good, if the wind doesn't wreck it. Watch out for wind slabs.

    Putting your hand up a girls skirt is a lot different than taking all her clothes off. But yes, I am justifiably called out.

    I'd give up a sore ass from a bike seat for those face shots any day. Nice work there. We just got a quarter millimeter of fresh pow here in Tajo too. I love to hear people bitch about the cold weather.

    It likely wasn't better in the Uintas - just closer to home and I saw 0 other people and 0 other cars. True wilderness my man...not to mention 4-8" of the fluffly stuff that once or twice got in my face. Winter conditions in June are a rare treat that I was stoked to experience.

    nice work gents.

    Yup. Good on anyone getting er tomorrow. Be careful, as evidenced by TH and XO... Be a real shame to be killed by an avie in June.

    I heard the ensuing cackle from this pick all the way out in California.



    Solid work.
