WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 16-17

[m84c1f]

Unfortunately I'm still two weeks away

[criscam]

Nah, Evergreen not open, not even SolBright. I think Patrol were being übercautious, which may not bode well for HC opening tomorrow. With all the windloading and the storm slabs not all that surprising.

hell I'm surprised they kept the phorn gate open. grapple pooling on the travers to middleslope was impressive. they were bombing HC pretty steady for awhile though. bet they get it open late morning w winds not too bad today. unfortunately working as well.

[Devil]

Absolutely epic today up at 10420 in the trees of Promised Land. It's deep.

[skifishbum]

lifestyle redemption season continues with a extremely high
did not suck rating
one of them magical catch all the gate rope drops days
with milk run, cathedral and g spot, all up in yo face goodness gotten



rolled out late and caught a bro out in the meadows

skied great


instablities aint real in your face obvious but still present in the snowpack structure

[1thenaton1]

It's tough work out there but sometimes you just gotta put your head down and power through

[mall walker]

^ way to keep fighting the good fight, the grind is real sometimes.

Hopefully they can get some stuff open before I have to leave for work at 1130, but their track record hasn't been great this year. Black jacket, dark green pants on bodaciouses, holler if you see me. I'll probably be rolling solo.

Too bad I didn't see you, I roll solo most days. Hope you got some yesterday and today! I'm pretty sure Powder Paradise, Bookends, that stuff left of Bird's Nest and Road to Provo still haven't opened (I left at 2, a patrol confirmed they were done opening stuff though).

[hutash]

Sweet, SFB. While I am having fun in Jackdon, it looked like I should have staid.

Just left the Jackson Moose hockey game...oretty damn fun even if they did loose.

[skiATL]

Soli was pretty good today with evergreen and highway opening.

Pretty much a perfect morning

[buttahflake]

Did you eat the big one?

[mall walker]

crack of noon start... solar aspects getting a little crusty/mushy by 2pm at 9k'

still skied pretty freakin great though

[happytimefunbox]

Crack o nine start. Cabin run, flannys and mbillies crusty/mushy back to the truck in alta. No major instabilies noted besides some of the biggest cornices ever on emma ridge so stay back. Best tour of the year the snow was outstanding. Fuck I wanna doit again tomorrow. Picked a great season to quit my job!

props to the USFS station for accepting visa, the town of alpine for putting in the bypass & the snowplow crews for putting it on the line to keep access open

[mall walker]

[redacted user]

Lots of sled traffic in AF Dry Fork. Long commute from Collins to Supreme. A bit of a sun crust on the SE facing stuff around noon yesterday, but hardly noticeable while skiing.
