This map and website are a great overview, plus profits from sales of the paper map go to the FUAC:

sfb pointed you in the right direction on the Wasatch Tours series. Other than that drive up LCC to the end of the road and go up on one of the 50 or so skinners.

Anyone out today or yesterday? Sounds like things are going to be a variable mess if/when a substantial amount of snow falls.

tis the season dodged a "girl bomb" of shreddin babes cuttin across eagle and headed w/ the mrs. up silver fk
the .5 to 4 that fell bonded pretty good and couldn't find much wind drift, slab or dangerz of the instabilities of snow pack
gray bird w/ a dropping cloud deck some graupel fine grain snow right around freezing and not much wind.
had to boot a bit of the sfacing as dust on bullitproof steep wasn't skinning well
did sum diggin while waittin for the toph to join
pit results from just down off the flanigans ridge reveled surprisingly high 20's ct's of a 2' 1 finger slab sitting on 4-6" of large basal
once off ridgeline in protected n facing terrain the snowpack changed to bottomless loose snow facets the new snow didn't bond nearly as well
and cuts on steeper aspects would run fairly well
skied surprisingly well for a less than waist deep pack but still gots another core shot to fix

other obs include a team renegade sighting and thumbs up on the davenport line they schrapled
some meadows skippers

couple days late on this but: Saturday 12/13 went up Mill D South into Cardiff Fork near High Ivory. The only new snow I saw was graupel. A few hand pits and one real pit confirmed what the UAC is puttin' out and what SFB found. My pit at about 9600', 27deg slope (wanted to dig on something steeper), E facing showed about 4" graupel, a dense midpack 1F-2F that was about 1.5'-2' thick and about 4" of the old facet layer. The whole column on the ECT broke at 21 or 22 hits on the old facet layer with no energy, and those facets were damp. This pit I think gets some shade because another E facing slope had a hard crust about 2" thick beneath the new snow. That new snow certainly freshened things up. Best turns I had so far out of only 3 times out. Wish I was out there today.

Some good stuff today. Up Griz, down Twin Lake, up to Honeycomb Cliffs, down Michican City. Skied down to the crusts below... wasn't the 14" we got at Alta, but it sure didn't suck.

Dawn patrolled this morning up Grizzly Gulch. Patsy tress held good soft snow. All of the open terrain in the gulch was wind boarded, at least near the skintrack. Plenty of folks gettin' out early in the morning.

so in addition to being a freelance expert avalanche forecaster do you give ski lessons as well?
the won school of wasatch wiggle?
very few people in this community or the wasatch think your more than a blowhard tool
of the ratcheting variety
more old acquiescences stopped by some more welcome than others

rojbot, don't know anyone from the Wasatch with that name. Bob Athey, Kowboy and lot's of others been wiggling in the Wasatch long time, it's cultural around here. Call them out PUSSY. I shred don't ski, my line down WM would have been a straightline most likely but I sure as hell wouldn't have taken five turns, traversed the slope, take another five turns, traverse the slope???? Not rocket science. Straight it or wiggle it don't take a big shit on it. New Hampshire...love it, CLASSIC.
