Thanks to SAR for all you do
SAR searching for an overdue person in Porter Fork this afternoon (12/29) who didn't return home last night (12/28). There was a black dog found in Porter last night around the meadow (just above the...
Of course cheaper (free) uphill is always better but I would actually like to see Utah resorts charge for uphill. I'd gladly pay to uphill during daylight hours on groomers at any of the resorts...
Fuck. Big loss in the community. Rest in Peace Andrew. Such a great guy.
December quality powder, March quality daylight. Perfect for after work touring laps!
I got the Alta gold card this fall (for grizzly access on weekends) but haven't been able to reserve parking all season as it's always sold out. Any tips? Are others experiencing this too? I feel...

A rare opportunity to break trail in the wasatch this evening

One of the better days this season! More on tap in the 10-day it looks like

Great sunny powder days this weekend. Decreasing danger, scary looking slide on Gobblers this afternoon however.

Great turns were had. What a beautiful place we get to call home. Enjoying these ever-later sunsets.
Gotta think that resort overcrowding, expensive and unavailable parking res, lack of enforcement of traction law, etc etc etc are contributors to this type of decision too. Lots of low angle terrain...
Right, that's what I thought. But above and below the outlined area on the map is littered with "No Parking" signs. That website says "This map shows data for the resort areas, and does NOT include...

Great morning!!
Anyone know what the current rules are for the road parking around Spruces? It's a bit hard to keep up with all the parking changes and regulations, though I have tried....
Just watched on YouTube. Loved the film, the shots, the storytelling, the quotes…bravo to everyone involved. That line on the Cottonwoods ridgeline was puckering!
tgapp, are bitchtickets transferrable? :wink:
Regarding the new FS parking, what is the definition of “per multi-day” though? Does that mean you only pay if it’s an overnighter? I would think the vast majority of trailhead visits in the Wasatch...
Didn't realized they discounted the gold card this year, thanks for the heads up. One of the best deals in the Wasatch as far as parking for backcountry goes. I hate that ASL charges for backcountry...
Skiing has become so "affordable" (relatively speaking w/ Ikon & Epic) that instead of paying with dollars we now pay with our time (traffic). Ski resorts have pushed all negative externalities onto...
Loving the stoke and photos recently! Keep it up
$25 and they'll get it done by the end of the day, last time I checked!
Raining on the drive up BCC, freezing line must be just above Spruces as it’s sleeting in the lot
Sorry IFW, I’ll make sure to check with you next time on what constitutes bad air quality 🙄
At this point I’m 50/50 excited for snow and excited for this wicked inversion to clear out
I really love this sentiment. Can we please engage in thoughtful conversation about backcountry terrain choices without name calling and immediately shutting the conversation down? I think the...
As someone who was pretty critical of the close call in East Bowl last March, I was really glad to hear from the involved parties tonight at USAW. Pretty insightful and glad Willie looks to be...
Happy birthday to this thread! Hard to imagine we were skiing this time last year. At least we’re being treated to amazing fall colors the last couple weeks
Is uphill access open this week Mon - Thurs at Alta? Or will it only be open after the second closing day?
Powderkeg was a fun experience, amazing to see how popular skimo is with the younger kids. A couple kids from the race will be worth watching to see if they end up representing the USA at the...
I'm here to learn and spur some conversation, which I think is beneficial for everyone, whether they're at 4 posts or 13,000.
Over the last couple years of reading posts on this forum I've...
After reading the full UAC report about the East Bowl avalanche, I straight up do not understand why two experienced guides were taking six clients into East Bowl. I know that as a community we're...
SL SAR report of the full burial from Saturday mentions that the group was guided? I don't see that mentioned in the UAC preliminary report. Anyone have an intel on this?
Looks like everyone is feasting this week!
The avy observations are a gold mine, especially in the early season, but there is a ton of noise when users make obs with very little effort. As a relative newcomer, what are the most useful things...
