Whiskey went to Snow Safety, Patrol, and Tram Ops. Candy went to every employee I encountered.
Had fun skiing the storm pow pow with the kids yesterday at Soli. The girl child child got blown over a few times with the gusts (guess thats the price you pay when your 50 lbs...)
Read the snow report this morning for my goto this season (so far) and found they had opened some new terrain with the 6" of diggety dank dank snow they got yesterday. Rolled up for some hot laps and found out they were 100% opened!!! Fuck yeah!!!! Can Alta say that? Nope. Not even. Did some Creek Sides and Collins and knocked out a quick 20k, then headed home for some Christmas Eve dinnar. When you all beaters get tired of skiing rocks n' grass drop me a note and we'll go where the low tide doesn't matter. I mean, once you fuckers see some nordic facebookinstagram hotness you'll be out there facing your selfies and saying how awesome it is. *

* Once it fills in and stabilizes I'm going to do some real skiing.....
Loved the booter up Jitterbug from the Saddle Traverse to get to the North facing slopes. Have to give Alta credit for being creative, some good turns there.
They've done that before once that I recall about maybe 4 years ago. I always give Alta credit for letting the skier roam even if conditions are questionable. Hope to make some turns soon.Quote:

Patroller partially buried. Seeing slides into the old snow finally, and a little more widespread. N facing 9k to 9.5k especially. Time to ski S facing and or go open presents...Quote:

The UPD doing traffic control on powder days at the mouth of LCC has become a non-issue.
Mid cirque opened yesterday and skied really well. The traverse is “thin”.

Fuk yeah sfb! Lemons arent so bad with some wadka and sugar. I bet you had that place to yourself. How about those shitters! #countryclub
Wanted to ski yesterday but bailed for a day in the swell with the fam. That place is so goddam epic. Sell it all, go vanlife, tour lasals henries blue hills the plateu the tushars and just vanish in the swell and forget the world. Sounds really really nice.
In other news GW is open at b right on. Meh. Still havent toured yet. Meh. Fuck you 2017! Bring on 2018 and its refresh of vacation time so I can chase a storm somewhere.... #firstworldproblems
yo sfofex, what's your XC set up? I think I'm officially in the market for a skate ski maybe.....
skied george's this morning, wicked warm morning, snow was starting to show signs of greenhousing, every rollover that was steep enough to slide slid earlier in the week, snow has been staying surprisingly good.
I'll be interested to read the avy report just outside of alta yesterday morning. Sounds like it was a guided group of 10-15 (!!!?!) and having 4 people caught means they weren't really adhering to standard avy terrain protocol. easy to armchair with only hearing hearsay so hoping for a thorough report from Utah Avy center. I think I saw the group as I was getting to the bottom of the summer road after skiing yesterday around 10 am. the group size definitely had me doing a double take as I skied by....
Trails full of kooks with no way to get away from them= Early stoppage and a venture into the oc. Parking lot, that is.
Snack game, strong.
