Dawn patrolled Tom's Hill again this morning. Dust on crust/icy crust all the way up the east skin track up Tom's to about 80ft or so below the top. Turns up top were just fine, but quickly turned to dust on crust. Felt icy, kinda like back on a Pennsylvania ski resort. I'm sure it will soften up throughout the day. Always a nice way to start the morning before work.
saw a couple of you this morning from reynolds where it sounds like conditions were better. didn’t see/hear any cracking, collapsing, sluffing or any cornice kickin’. time for just two so rode reynolds north facing through the trees and a south facing run off false summit of little water. north facing mid elevation aspect rode really well. south facing also rode well but was a little wind effected. good start to the day and weekend. enjoy it fellas.

Fishys pictures aren't working, but I'm pretty sure the slope in question didn't get skied afterward. Also, there is a skin path right below that this slide ran across, that you cannot see from the ridge. Thus putting others at risk. Then to make things worse, no one was notified, so multiple 'rescuers' showed up and wasted their time searching the debris.
Things becoming clearer now?
You've got a strange sense of "smug criticism of others' "control" efforts in the BC.
i'm wonderin who you are and if your sandbaggin or another cuntinator aliASS was thinkin an oag but why would a ledgend rejoin the community under a new name to bitch about a fellow skibum and promote whack ass "expert" shit like
aint my thread
but i KNOWthe op
aint a leauge
it's a community of like minded, passionate, enthusiasts steeped in traditions
did you bother readin the stickies?
yesterdays obs from cardiff
them boyscouts haul more shit in to camp 1 night than i float in the drifties for 5
skiing down your skinner is one way of potential keepin your stash fresh but poor form
still much deeper snowpack on slab side of ridge vrs. mower de dios
most hasties taking good bit of force to shear
most pretty q1 although a couple on seperate planes
skied right of the slabs in memory of another ledgend who passed truely makin things safer for us all
top 2/3 blissfull feb in wasangles way it outa b
bottom 1/3 dust a funky crustably meh to suck
somebody send photobucket a stoke donation cause they think i needs a pro account now
oh and there appeared to be a sleddin hill extreme road gap kicker bein constructed

In the olden days, pre-"Wassangeles", there was always competition for BC lines but plenty of room for everyone. For instance, Powder"turds" was always controversial--certain tourers would skin up early to an LZ and moon the ship or stomp out a message, but it was somewhat good natured. The most prominent antagonist actually went to Canada to guide for CMH. WPG has assisted in many rescues over the years and might be your first responder in the Wasatch when things go bad.
There was more room for everyone to do their "own thing", and I agree that current crowded conditions require more social awareness and respect especially for riders below. But, those below need to be more acutely aware than ever of disaster from above. So "cornice whomping" is not the best idea although it can be fun…
I don't know SFB either, but what stands out from his posts [for me] is a first impression of harsh critical tone which dominates the "stoke." A "tradition" of sorts. He's probably the most truly stoked one out there.
The new normal in the Wasatch is nearly urban backcountry skiing. So it goes. And everyone's an expert in training. We're all still in this together, and the Uintahs beckon those yearning for space. As you overtake me on the track, I'll step aside. forQUOTE=skifishbum;4193312]i'm wonderin who you are and if your sandbaggin or another cuntinator aliASS was thinkin an oag but why would a ledgend rejoin the community under a new name to bitch about a fellow skibum and promote whack ass "expert" shit like

^^^Interesting historical perspective. Wonder if that was Murphy or Atkins as the perceived "most prominent".
The issue is easily resolved by simply eliminating non motorized and wilderness exceptions to Forest Service rules.
One inadvertent cornice fall, remotely released by getting a little close to the ridge.
Bigger than a Suburban, smaller than a box car. No other skiers in the area and no clean out, didn't do shit.
Ski tips were included in the photo for pc.
Pretty sure the activity in Broads is the result of graupel pooling.
Expert in training.
So Murph is the one I remember, 74-75-ish. Was so anti-heli and then heli-guiding became his career. If you can't beat 'em…??!! Guess we'll see how long WPG's "grandfathered" position lasts. Can't be that fun being in that business here anymore, especially with the weather of the last few years.
Nice line and pics!
Dropping a large cornice on a sensitive slope leads to predictable results. Please save the cornice kicking, on the large open slopes we share, for a final slope check before skiing said slope. If you have no intent to ski the slope please let it be and allow it to adjust to the load. Avalanches may "clean out" the overlying slab but much of the weak sugar snow remains setting the slope up for repeat slides.
We're not happy 'til you're not happy.
/discussion. Repeater denial bias seems to reinforce the familiarity heuristic. Depth hoar bowl last winter for the last example I recall offhand.
Been traveling which is good and bad, time for iPhoto but not for making teh seeeex to wasatchDoggie rooster tail and some scenes from earlier.

Spent yesterday poking around the Manti-Skyline. What a day to be out. No wind, 30F max.
Johnny's only sin was dispair
Great weekend to be out! Original plan was to do Tolcat Couloir, but ended up going up the Patsy Marley ridge to Wolverine Cirque. Large cornices in the cirque. The west facing aprons have exposed rocks between the chutes.

Even larger cornice in Wolverine Cirque

Didn't feel confident making a 4' drop into THC (The Huge Chute), so we opted for Granny's Chute
The rest of Granny's Chute after the roll over
Looking back at the lines
North and east facing side of the cirque.
Fucking awesome snow even though there were two tracks in it already. Went back up to the top of Patsy Marely and rode the ridge down a bit, then dropped into the Microwave taking us back down the road/Alta side. The Microwave is W-SW facing; the snow was getting damp as we were making our exit at 1pm. Off the slopes at 1:45pm, but forgot to bring the 2 beers to enjoy back at the car. Hope you all got some!! Or lots!!!
Got out this weekend, sun had it's way with most unsheltered terrain on Friday. Found some good snow still on high S on Saturday, lower was a very stout suncrust. Good snow on east facing sheltered as well.
Don't slip
