Wasatch Conditions 13/14
Figure we should start the OFFICIAL thread since winter is here. Since it's the OFFICIAL thread there will be no CUNTING allowed.
Post your backcountry observations, trip reports, and anything else that has to do with the Wasatch Backcountry.
Found some nice turns above 10k N-NE facing yesterday 10/31. Still lots of facets to the ground on high N, but snow wasn't moving. 24" of creamy consolidated pow, but it started riming on the way out at 7pm.

Alta was ridiculous this morning. Waist deep blower up high, at least boot deep to the lot. Thank you, lake effect.

First actual turns I can call skiing this year, not quite ready to haul ass down the mountain, but that was fun.

NECK DEEP!!!
Seriously stoked for the start of this year, so so stoked. Dug a pit off the cat-track below Wildcat ridge and got the middle weak layer to kick off with a compression test; 12Q2 almost springy though but not quite. Saw propagation got it to collapse on the same layer about 45% through."The world is a very puzzling place. If you're not willing to be puzzled you just become a replica of someone else's mind."

Went for a look at Cardiac Ridge today, thin but not bad, noticed this slide on the High Baldy shoulder on the return trip.

I watched you guys it looked really good. I skied further down baldy shoulder. Probably 2 feet of snow in my quick pit, maybe 8 inches of new on a consolidating base. Column failed at 22 and 24 from the elbow at the facet and snirt interface with hardly any energy. I managed to find a rock but no damage. Looks like it's gonna warm up shortly. Get it while the get tens good....

Fun day at alta did a lap off supreme then toured out toward castle and skied a nw facing gulley over there that was nice all the way to Alfs. It has set up a bit more since yesterday but still good turns. Nothing moving except bucketfuls of dense pow...
