What this is:
Trip Reports from the Wasatch backcountry
Observations and Conjecture about snow conditions in the Wasatch backcountry
Armchair Assessments and Monday Morning Quarterbacking regarding the topics above

What this ain't:

Trip Reports from in-bounds skiing
Observations and Conjecture about the length of the line at the Tram Dock
and A GOOD….PLACE TO COPY-PASTE THE ENTIRE...AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION…EVEN IF…THE APPROACHING FRONT LOOKS REALLY INCREDIBLY…AMAZING.

The National Weather Service began emailing and distributing detailed descriptions and advisories of upcoming Big Storms last season and the 1st one of the season is up. Check it out at http://www.facebook.com/US.NationalW...e.SaltLake.gov
You can't call yourself a weather geek if you don't follow these briefings.

i forget, do i have to cook the bacon before i shove it down my pants, or is it supposed to be raw? also what's the best brand of stud finder?

**skifishbum** · 10-05-2011, 09:44 AM

be leary of all summer high pressure lingering surface hoars

**Johnny Deep** · 10-05-2011, 09:58 AM

i think they call that the 'joey alert'

if you live in alta, its a good time to lock down anything some joey might try to slide, grind, jib or jump off.

personally i'll be waiting for a few more storms, skiing early season is overrated

NICE EDIT Alx88, putting up the first stoke in the wasatch conditions 11-12 thread! i'm sure we'll be seeing plenty more stoke from Alx all season long. that's all he does is bring the STOKE!

**backcountryben** · 10-05-2011, 03:32 PM

Snow starting at the top of the bird!

**Jhaus** · 10-05-2011, 03:42 PM

Sweet! I'm down there this weekend, just might need to bring some skis with me... Maybe it would put a stop to the annoying dreams where I show up somewhere to ski awesome powder but forget my boots or other dumb shit. Those are driving me batty.
