    13/14 Southwest Stoke Thread

    So a few people showed enough interest in a SW stoke thread I decided to go ahead and start one.

    I think this thread could serve the 4 corners region and then some. Arizona, southern Colorado, southern Utah, New Mexico, and southern Nevada I think would all be fitting.

    Thanks to SlaagMaster I figured out how to attach photos so I'll start this one out with some pictures from years past. Lets hope for a good season this year as the last three have been less than what it can be!

    Town of Escalante received 18 inches of snow and one SNOTEL north of Escalante reported 40 inches of snow on 5 inches of water from the last storm... anyone getting any turns in the red rocks and hoodoos?

    This thread could end up causing me to spend a whole bunch of money. I love SW skiing and if the conditions are really good and I can see that easily I may just have to throw the family in the car for a road trip. That could get pricey

    Thanks man! That move was pretty sketchy, the only year this line was a ski thru that I have seen was 2005 when we got 500 inches. It's a classic but it only really comes into play during the biggest el nino years.

    Raven's Ridge was nice last week. Optimistic reports have TSV getting up to 2 feet over 4 days later this week. I have begun to rearrange my schedule.

    Hit day 10 on December 1 and it was good.

    First, how about a flashback to Nov. 22nd skiing the deep pow at Wolfie....





    ....fuck, that was gooood.

    Now for some BC on the first day of December.

    ....Sultan and Bear are looking pretty good.


    NE face of McMillan looking pretty fucking sketchy right now but it's got good coverage.


    The crew...A splitter, a hot French girl and my even hotter wife (although she's bringing up the rear so you can't tell)


    The token Splitter


    My bride, going deep.




    Some Splitter stoke.


    The French girl getting hers


    ....The end until next time. Snow is in the forecast.
