A non-gondola post

For anyone headed to Alta looking for summer turns - Wyssen Towers are being built on Baldy. There is a sign in Ballroom saying that bit of road is closed. Most of the action is...

pshh toxic lake dust is just more nuclei for snow to condensate on. Natural Cloud Seeding.

14" new snow 1.8" SWE, rumors of a catch n carry in Main Chute, and people are still skinning straight up the gut of High Rustler. Nice.

That’s the plan, unless we’re looking at 6’.

40°F and raining at Wildcat base. Could help the corn situation.

Flagstaff > banana belt > hideaway park > Binx yesterday. Really good skiing on Banana. started to get rollerballs below the lower bench. My ACLs were crying in fear coming down the S stuff heading...

If you have the Time, drive in to Gemini Bridges and pedal up Getaway and either come down Getaway or Bull Run, depending on whether they're green or black riders. Or shuttle as said above, but...

I think their plan A has become roam around with some boomers and camp in a cool spot.

Anyone know what the Henry's look like now? I have a buddy planning on going this weekend. The Greater watershed looks to be at 85%. The little searching I've done, I can't find a snotel in the area.

Metal front bumper
Brush Guard (are these two separate?)
Winch
Low LED lights
Shovel Mounted to Bumper
Farm Jack on the hood
High light bar
Full roof rack

Got me a Selway. No mo eco-safe fuckery.
Might have to make a cocktail in it the night before first use.

How's everyone feel about a confirmation by Saturday 4/16? Don't wanna be booking shuttles much before then as there may not be any available.
Zoom meeting shortly after to discuss group gear,...

Considering that was fall of 2019 and they're still ripping around daily, seems like the only outcome was getting the thread on MP deleted.

Some fun bits from the 2018/19 Wasatch Thread. Link to...

Amazing that they managed to get the whole thread about them getting busted in the Lone Peak Wilderness removed from Mountain Project.

Small chance I'd go. Not a fisherman but will row for ya. Never floated above Gates of Lodore. Kinda depends on if Alta ends up reopening or not for the 4/22 weekend.

Most recently he completed the Winter WURL on snowshoes. A number of people have done it on skis with some sort of variation. I'm pretty sure he's the only known person to complete this route, in...

Snowbird.

A couple buddies produced this movie about another friend. He had a near death experience when a school bus ran him over on a bicycle, reflects on a new outlook on life, and shares his...

Imagine if the rotor went into the maze, terminal, or haul rope. Some final destination shit.

Another video, from the lift maze. ...

Two national guard helicopters crashed in Mineral Basin this am. Sounds like no injuries. Holy hell.
...

2nd in line on radical heels if ^ falls through

Turns out the bcc park n ride is not a stop to Alta.
Thurs skied Alta > Silver Fork Lodge. Microclimates were in full effect.
Fri Whitepine > Maybird. Finding new routes is fa blast.

Is the thought to camp at the Corn Creek launch site and get the Main permit the next day, or have takeout for MF and launch for Main the same?

11-20 people, you'd have to pass Cache bar 6/16....

7" at Wildcat base so far

I almost PMed you on the buzz when this came up. Glad ya found it.

Yeah exactly. 5 days middle 5 days main would be an incredibly rad trip. Shuttle is cheaper to put in at Boundary/take out Carey Creek, too. I did 5/29 Boundary to 6/6 Carey last year. 3.6' at...

What's your people/boat max? How many days?

Intriguing...

Also a good date to turn the corner. Not lottery for the main until 6/19.
Could be scary high, but with our snowpack likely not..

Not the same experience of the Kessler sluff but I had an interesting experience today. ESE facing 10,500-11,000'. Party was stopped mid slope at a dog leg and I skied below them and cut out to a...

^^^ LP or WP? Making a plan for tomorrow...



for real? resort property no mo? can I still put my trampoline in the cistern? Tires in tact n all?

If they ever come back in stock...

YT Jeffsy Core 2 29er.

you'll appreciate the smoother rolling of a 29er more than the "jibby-ness" of a 27.5
NX groupset is fine.

Those guys offered us a ride back to the bird. Shoulda taken it.

Just one.
Might have a line one one now.
Willing to trade for a day ticket to Alta.

Dropped in at 12:30. 10,800 to 8,200'. Mid elevation SW faces still a little crunchy, low elevation SE faces a bit over ripe.

Unfortunately no dogs in LCC.
Any other takers?
Also open to shipping if it isn't cost prohibitive.

Somehow lost my whippet in the last year or so. Anyone have one they're looking to offload? Located in SLC, would prefer not to deal with shipping.

Maybe not my place to share, but from what I've gathered he was found at the base of a big south facing cliff band, skins on, and significant head/facial trauma. Maybe evidence of him moving around...

TFW...
Shit happens quickly.

Lost my whippet and didn't bring an ice axe.
regardless of prodeal, seems like one is in order.

I used my ski crampons up both sides of Cardiff peak and was pretty happy to have them.

Checked off a new line today. Maybe an inch of wet snow on a softening crust. Was pleasantly surprised.
...

Powerline - cardiac ridge - Cardiff bowl/buttress yesterday. Hadn’t gotten out for a walk in a while. E facing still good. Was gonna ski two trees home but really firm. Another hour and it could have...

Considering our conversation last night...

RIP.

Alta gave a 20% raise to nearly all employees this fall.

Hill was open but traffic was being blocked. The dust cloud did reach the trail, which was closed at the time. The core of the slab stopped a few hundred feet short of the ropeline. It's very common...

Explosives. Heli was brought in for Devil's Castle, my understanding is backside was a secondary mission because they already had it and had good results on E Baldy and the Baldy Shoulder. Unsure if...

Snowbird has a rideshare app that Alta was piggybacking off. I think that rolled out in 19/20? Covid likely didn't treat it well.
