cool bro, please tell us more

smiths somehow has Mrs Renfros. the habanero is fantastic. the ghost pepper is hotter than most of the (boutique habanero / ghost pepper / etc) hot sauces I have, almost inedible as a salsa and I...

no insight but love your handle, lol

it’s in an IG story so I don’t think it can easily be embedded, at least not by me. from the looks of it argenta went nearly to the bottom, like to the top of that first flat area ~600’ or whatever up

well that'll certainly help

^ yeah, I think the UAC generally does a great job. maybe you get a 1-level holiday weekend danger bump at times but I mostly think they try their best to call it straight

yeah that’s what all the old timers call it [emoji849]

not sure I recall seeing a rose like that here before

even if it’s your first time there it’s obviously an historical slide path, and I have been wary of it over a pwl... that’s my favorite spot to ski probably and I understand the temptation, but still...

seems crazy to me too

w porter went w2w for 2k apparently

ski ya next season

^ regarding group size, an old guy way back when told me once: “the best group size is 3. everyone gets a say, and you have a good chance of someone making the conservative call. the next best size...

in a storm or in fresh snow, even in a place you know like the back of your hand, putting in the regular skinner can be harder than it sounds. even if you’ve walked up it 50 or 100 times. and if you...

yeah this certainly has me second guessing my toe locking tendencies also

eta: I have cut off all my pole straps for years also

yeah that is the standard skinner. possibly a very different outcome if that skinner was being used.

and edit just to clarify, that’s not a judgment. I know where the raymond glade skinner goes,...

yeah I dunno. I didn’t know anyone involved personally, have the day off and plans to ski, just bailed after reading that this morning. might sit this one out til that layer goes away. nice day to...

yeah you hear about these things and just assume someone fucked up egregiously, but then reading this report it’s almost the opposite. those were DEEP burials too. I feel for everyone involved big...

heavy

fingers crossed! argenta, west porter, north’s below the memorials...

that's gotta be one of the prettiest mountains in the world. always loved this: https://vimeo.com/72024058

eta: and this...

I’m too lazy to ever have organized it, but have felt for a while that an “after alta closes and it’s t shirt weather but you can still skin up the baldy shoulder” mag party would be pretty fun. get...

^^^ yeah... lotta people here I know by handle and not by face. and I’m thinking now that’s not good enough

ah shit. kid was 23, I remember him posting here. RIP bud.

seriously: take a keyboard break MTT.

^ relax bro. nobody needs it.

sorry for the lack of forewarning mags, life is wild these days. we had an exquisite day off the pass and a hoot at jhmr today. always love being in town. good fuckin times. been a while since i had...

this is awful. a nightmare scenario

torn between, fingers crossed it isn’t anyone in my circle, and thinking whoever it was, was in my circle anyway. never skied wilson glade but the topo makes it look like not a crazy person idea....

jesus

yeah they have a food truck, or did anyway, that I would see sometimes. some of the better pizza in UT that I’ve had

great few pages here.

report says he didn’t know if he was above the victim. (he descended part way before the search). tough call, but faster to descend on skins than climb without.

feel for all involved

lol, golf clap

^ yep I’m a poppa now. unrelated I haven’t skied one day this calendar year, my only snow sliding was up main P a month ago. but my excuse is work lol. but I’ve made my bad calls, and been called out...

thanks for sharing that man. super happy you’re ok. you’ll be back out there in no time, meantime don’t beat yourself up about it. I saw that crown up in west porter on the uac site and thought shit,...

damn homie! glad you’re still topside with us!!

when it rains it pours

heard they lived, got some help from some good samaritans. heard maybe some broken bones but alive

eta: main gobblers. friend was there for the rescue

remarkably similar conditions to the guided client in whitesnake some years back

lol. there was some clown in cottonwood heights area who proposed letting cars drive through red lights at night as I recall.

the average UT driver seems only barely able to stay within the lines...

ah damn. oh well, rio grande sucks too which is unfortunate but so it goes...

porcupine by the U is gone? since when?shit i live down the road. though it’s been a week or so since i walked past...

but it is very close to the U, which is was the sole listed criteria in the op so... also it’s fine, not cafeteria food. unexciting and overpriced but will do in a pinch and be alright.



it’s...

^ +1 those, if you’re wanting to stay closer by there’s porcupine but it’s nothing to write home about. I’d drive at least to the spitz/pretty bird environs. personally I love red rock and they do...

lol ya

beware the mud below aves twin peaks above mini puke hill. it’s “get off and walk” bad and it’s hard even to walk through. and I grew up someplace with a mud season.

otherwise besides the...

yeah drove up guardsman and the s facing stuff looks like it does when it melts out in april

^ probably not, but I am guessing you could do what the powderkeg does and go outside the ropes along that ridge...

well if we’re reminiscing about better times with better people
