    theres a very hazy line between being too close to the cornice and being too far to actually gain any valuable information

    turns on it now or you already have an objective and this is your pre-sighting look for a subsequent lap.

    Otherwise preserve

    Made a real weird approach to mid mountain park city to pick up a heart attack victim. He made a couple laps before coming in. I think it was because this was such a unique pick up spot. Possibly that is what you saw? It was weird enough I quizzed my neighbor who is a pilot for them on it. This resulted in them looping over mid to upper Thaynes Canyon and 9990 area three times real low. Probably about 50 yards above the trees at the ridges.

    It wasn't lifeflight that we saw, but the Orange powderbirds ship. They were buzzing us along the ridgeline several times while they dropped off all the Doctors and lawyers in the BC.

    I use to drop cornices or ski cut the top of Conehead on Dutches quite often... Mostly because it's so easy for the idiots to hike to and kill themselves. Twice in the last ten years I've walked by it, noted how dangerous, and crossloaded it looked only to have someone trigger and and die on it within the hour. the most recent incident was a kid I knew...

    It is unlikely cornice drops or ski cuts would have controlled either the monster hard slab in 2005 or the localized slab in 2012. Here are the UAC links to both accidents:

    Guess who we saw stompin' cornices on W Monitor yesterday?

    Mark white, (aka Spindrift on here) is a fuckin' wannabe UAC assclown, his bullshit routine is akin to a firefighter that starts fires just so he can act the hero.

    We watched him trigger a small predictable wind slab at the top, ripped out maybe 40' across and litter the slope with debris. he did this as my friend waited patiently at the top for 5 minutes as he played UAC forcaster. Then he didn't ski next to his debris, he traversed over to where my buddy had staked out his line and skied it.

    What a fucking self-important and entitled asshole....



    sincerely,

    Toby H

    So he's saying in the report it was a natural cornices drop, but you watched him stomp it off?

    I was a few minutes behind, but I could see them standing at the top....I believe my friend saw most of it. ( it's pretty obvious from the pics of the cornice fracture that it wasn't natural.)

    Anyways, the point of my tirade is that it's Pretty dick to take down a slope, creating a bunch of trundled debris, exp when you're aware people are right there and want to ski those lines. It was totally unnecessary...

    if you couldn't already deduce how that slab was going to behave without whomping it than maybe u don't belong up there to begin with.


    Just knock that shit off; there are plenty of places you can test slope...

    My apologies; Spindrift65.

    He's a reg in the wasatch thread. The dude loves to centerpunch monitors solo under questionable conditions....

    Sounds like a dick move done by a right prick. Especially poaching your buddy's line after ruining many perfectly good ones.

    To report that it was a natural cornice fall is pretty fucked too in my opinion. Reporting false information is beyond dick.

    You guys ski around too many people. I usually don't see a soul. I also do whatever the fuck I want since no one is around

    You have a serious reading comprehension problem. One was natural, one he admits was skier cut.

    Looks like a big area to play, so sad you cannot get along with others…

    Its no secret, He puts it out there.... Also notice I have no trouble using my real name.


    Honestly It wasn't really a big deal this time.... the skiing was sub-par, the sun was baking it quickly... but other days several people can put in 5-6 laps pretty quickly, Leaving very little room after a day of farming.

    It's just the principle of it....

    Has anyone spoken with these parties and let them know that this isn't cool in zones that see so much pressure? If so, are they re-thinking what they did?
