You know it's only kindness from me in the ambo.

haha, good times. I tried to talk him down to no avail.

We should def. do a trip. I think Bobmc's son is about the same age as mine. Maybe icemans too? Thanks for the offer, mang.
The knee feels ok, but then again I haven't done anything but ride an...

^^ I'd like to win that fishing trip, my 13 yo loves to fish and I'm the worst fisherman ever.

I never wear beacons skiing summer snowpack.

I saw that coyote running down the road today, he totally ignored the hellgate closure and went right under the gate.

Conditions were good up high, legit face shots. But, somewhere on my second...

Heavy snow up north. Should have made the drive.

The heli is way overused in Utah, and I'm not just talking about mountain stuff, that's probably the place it's most needed. But I don't know how many times I've seen someone flown when they were...

I think that's a PC patroller, kiwi, can't remember his name. He's friends with Supu.

I found conditions above 8500 feet today to be surprisingly good, supportable/carveable cream type stuff on every aspect. The wind was howling but not moving a ton of snow. The snow below 8500 feet...

No good refreeze last night. Higher elevations were supportable if you skied fast and smooth, otherwise glop with a thin crust on it. West facing had the most supportable surface. Lower elevation...

Jesus alx8123, we know you hate the Bird, give it a fucking rest.

Hey, I'll still talk about it! I have no idea what's going on but I love to spread rumors and monger fear.

Just another best day of the year.

Today was awesome. You should have manned up and made it work TH!

I've been thinking about doing some raised box gardening this year. I guess it's time to get to it.

Yeah, we were just south down the ridge from you, near Chilly Peak.

I recognize that turn. Did you ski some of those NE gullies off of the peak? It almost corned on the other side.

That bad, huh?

Mixed bag today. Found some deep surface hoar that skied pretty well but its also starting to camouflage the icy, bare patches. I got to push into terrain that I've rarely felt safe skiing; large,...

Skied up north today from 5500 to 9500, the lower elevations skied surprisingly well. A few movable soft slabs from recent wind transport on the lee side of ridges and large sluffs in the uber steep...

And the threat of violence, now we've come full circle TGR like.

And thanks TH, my high self-esteem was getting out of hand.

I think I'm going on a new campaign after reading this. Ski noodle terrain first. I'll make a point to go to all of the popular little turn areas and after I throw a skin track across the entire pow...

Whoa, seconded. Congrats dude!

The avy report said a very experienced party was in a slide on Little Sup, did you see those guys,TH?;)

Skied Days today, the wind affected snow seemed to be hit or miss. East faces got a little...

Luck, knowledge, timing and good/bad decisions are blurry lines sometimes. Glad you came out on the good end of it all today.

PS, thanks for not waiting for me this morning;)

Some people have different 'talents'.

Did you call Monte?

I've skied at Snowbasin with him.

I believe the hype machine theory but how did they get the NWS on board?

Oh shit, I made it home just in time apparently, I just looked outside right into the eyes of SATAN!!!

If shit gets real bad I'll make my way to your house then.

I've lived in Utah 18 years now and I've never heard this much hype for an upcoming storm. My kids are getting out of school early, the news is suggesting that employers let their employees go home...

You'll never get a hard and fast number for stuff like that. This is not science, it's voodoo magic.

This^^^

I used to pour over those maps and charts to figure out every minute detail of the upcoming storm. Over the years I've come to realize that all of the weather hype in the world is...

Made sense to me. Re-read the blurb on the UAC site regarding surface hoar (dictionary of terms), I think you may be confusing the fact that they stated surface hoar accounts for most accidents in...

Surface hoar forms when there is a temperture gradient between the snow and the air. Snow warms in the sun during the day, gets moist, it get cold and clear and then that moisture moves to the...
