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

UDOT Avie posted this saying dawn patollers please park 2' from white line. I'm confused, it looks like 4' from the white line. And is the green band signifying that everyone should park to the right of it? Who made this pic?

If you can't communicate simply through pics, I don't think they are going to solve this problem.

Disappointed that I didn't hit any rocks during my lunchtime session today

Most rocks higher up covered for sure, but, south facing below 8500ft still felt really boney. Jumped into homicide chute as a second run this morning. Still could use a lot of snow... Still best runs of the season so far!

Trigger pulled. Hope to see some fools rolling round Alta.

Bold trigger pull coming from Sandy the day after the storm!!!!!

[happytimefunbox]

I got fed up with the LCC shit show a few years ago and started getting BCC passes. Today was my first day back to Alta for a few seasons. It was like having great sex with an ex and forgetting why you ever broke up.

I don't think the obvious white line is the edge of the road, look at it in relation to the yellow line. I think the edge of the road runs under the P in Parked....

A-Lodge and skiing Alta on the 2/25. Cliff after that for a few daze and possibly homeless on the 2nd and 3rd.
Party?

[bigdude2468]

Shortly after lifts opened this morning at Alta a collision with one party hitting a tree, heli’d out to U of Utah, anyone have any info on victims? Vibes to all involved

Lift gossip was a broken femur that also knocked they. out for a bit. Hopefully he/she is okay.

[Skidog]

Saw evac and watched victim get brought up to the heli pickup. As soon as the sled stopped like 7 medics/Drs mobbed the sled. Everyone seemed very tense. Heli was there less than 5 min after victim got to the spot. Hope they are ok.

guess west willow went today but didn’t step down below the new stuff. hashtag stability?

I will continue to be a grandma out there for a while yet... maybe up LCC tomorrow early if any one wants to walk around a couple hours tho

Bluebird day (Friday), lenticular clouds over the Uintas late in the day. I was solo so stayed in Beartrap most of the day. Solo, heh, I've never seen so many tourers along the PC ridgeline. Helicopters. I thought for a moment I was in the middle of a Dynafit commercial. I think everyone in Summit County with an Epic Locals pass and a powder clause was touring out Park West yesterday! It was fine, everyone was nice and cordial. Saw a couple splitboarders...wonder if one of them was the guy who had to check his shorts in Monitors?

Common theme near Park West this year: thin snowpack, N -> E aspect, >34 degrees + "less" skier compacted.

Monitors: https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanches/37015
Pointy Peak: https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanches/37027
+ a shot of the small natrual in West Willow (WW always seems to slide even in deeper years). In the background tracks on the Football field and Orgy Peak in the Meadows. Not sure if they were touring or dropped off by the Powderturds?



Best day of the year (which would make everyone laugh in a good year). If the weatherman's correct, we'll be rockin' and a rollin' next week.

[skifishbum]

mrs bum sfotex and i rolled up the 8023

observations include but not limited to
thick whippersnappers

that will probably bitchslap yur rando sissy sticks put ya down and totally fuck your strava time
or ya just could slow down and yeild to uphill traffic like most courteous folk do
but the latter was more amusing
pockets of skier induced instabilities

tracks

spansered brand ambassador product placement

athletic endeavers





and a couple from yesterday my bro sent me

[nyskirat]

So what does the extended forecast look like for LCC?

[zion zig zag]

Good day yesterday, 1st sunburn of the season for all of us, didn't expect that. Some collapsing up high along ridge where it was quickly getting loaded from winds but it was limited to the top 50-100 vertical feet and shallow. Also seemed like that plus last storms new snow (8-12 inches) would fail on a graupel layer below cliffs. No other instabilities noted.

Are there going to be any spring deals for Alta and or Snowbird this year???

arriving March 30 to April 8...

725 gets you a season pass. Ticket per day is.like $104. You'll cover the cost no problem if you ski Alta every day of your trip.

Here’s hoping UDOT leaves LCC open until 6:00 AM

Sick....on my BC bucket list

What approach did you take?

[Nevada29er]

Enjoy the storm tomorrow. 7 days of fantastic skiing at Alta/Bird!

[BobMc]

Strong work.

Tomorrow should be good. I'm supposed to be working but instead I'll be finding myself somewhere near the front of the tram line.
