Saw that ^ great Jong stoke there. Everybody have fun this wknd!

Tons of surfy pow in the right places up in GTNP today.

Whose a corn expert? I am interested in skiing the south face of Taylor Saturday on some silky goodness.

Noticed crusts thickening with...

Thanks for the support crew! Media310, no hard feelings bud. Your sarcasm is a waste of energy but I couldn't expect any less from ya :)

That wasn't me on pucker yesterday but we did find some...

Great share Galen. Funny how we can create fall senses of security (no results on ski cut in your case) when we are looking down an untouched couloir. Thanks for sharing and I am so glad you were...

Trying to find some kind of pattern with the avalanche obs over the last few days but nothing is really sticking out...

I saw the SH cycle that HMS was a part of that plaqued mid elevations last...

Great stoke Aaron and Brian!

I was at the hospital this weekend and overheard a nurse say that the guide from the Snake River range was brought in by heli and that he "looked like he had been in a...

Phall, bring your bugs. Sub-surface nymphing/streaming has been ON up here when it rises above freezing :)

Happiest of days Lynne! Was this the same NE aspect we shared last season on this date in the park? ;) Heading up to the pinnacle buttes tomorrow with Evan in hopes of scoring some fine corn. Cheers

Multiple slides reported in Saratoga Bowl today.

Fatality at the village today... Sounds like a tree well incident +++vibes+++

Locals took the day off and the village was the ( . )( . )s

Spun a few laps off of thunder this morning. Very sluffy in steep NE aspects.

Worked Couloir lunch and it snowed all day up top with...

Good beta Aaron and Lynne!

Aaron what elevations did you find this touchy snow? Looking at the avalanche map, it appears that most of JHMR mitigation results occurred on E and SE aspects with a...

Media310 if you look at the picture from the slide last Tuesday ^ you will see Chiver's (south side) ridge in the upper-left corner (for a better perspective).

We headed out for a tour on the...

Good looks baby bear

Heli above Teton pass just now. North side..

R3 to the ground on Twin slides this afternoon. Skier cut wind slab just below billboard and flushed out pretty good. Heads up, those wind exposed ridges are touchy and getting touchier... Everybody...

Lady* and gents... Sorry Lynne!

Stoke is high! Not too shabby of a view Dunfee. Good on ya gents for getting after it :)

nice gallery neck beard

Pass webcam is starting to look pretty good.. Make some turns for me this wknd :)

Dunfee, welcome to the West Bank! That wiggle looked like a fun time. Have fun at the village.

HVSkier, nice stoke! Climbed up radio tower a few weeks back, rode the back, north facing line which held nice turns and then we booted back up that for radio tower proper. Short but steep :)

Dunfee, one can dream :) It would be nice to break this dry spell and take advantage of the snowpack that is still holding.

Heading up to Bridger bowl tomorrow night chasing swell...

Franz and media310, I'm game for a tour. There's a few lines at the village that I've had my eye on all season... :)

Great points light ranger and foggy goggles!

North facing aspects skied great yesterday up on togwotee. 4-8" on top of soft chalk :)

Babybear, all good things. To me, it all boils down to risk tolerance and teaching "absences" is tough. I spent 6 seasons touring all over colorado where I was taught Avy 1 and workshops by very...

Headed up to BC for a month this Thursday for some skiing and fishing. Wondering what websites and sources y'all use up in Canada. In the states I rely on NOAA weather for solid point forecasts. Any...

And yes, 14 bullets before, during and after each run. It's a lot I know. But what if your car mechanic or doctor skipped procedures?

Yeah, of course you want to match terrain to the snowpack and hazard. I was trying to look at it from a partner/risk tolerance POV.

It would be cool if y'all spent less time picking apart any...

And if you want me to touch on the "ego" piece your so stuck on, I'll say that yes we were/are a group of young skiers who like to push our skiing abilities on extreme terrain. Everyone of us has our...

Ok babybear, let me break down our biggest take aways and the exercises we have adopted since. I'll try to keep things short and to the point but some personal detail should follow.

1. Assign a...

Shralp wasn't bothered on trail, in fact he was cheered on by ski patrol from above as they ascended in big red.

Where Shralp went "wrong", sadly, is asking a lifty at the bottom of Bridger...

Aaron, we were looking for the newc couloir but the heavy snow and flat light turned us around on the apron. Can't wait to get back to that zone!

Dunfee, there are a few spines, cliffs and pillows in the middle zone of the claw. I'd go in there with someone who knows the way first or just tread lightly till you get a good read of the land.
...

And to answer your question. I will admit that my sense of comfort/confidence (ego, if you will) was too high, which led me to drop the ball when it came to concrete decisions. Tell me about your BC...

Baby bear, all good points. Pick up a copy of April 's Avalanche Review if you'd like an in-depth, human factor breakdown

Fatality at the village today :( sounds like trauma from hitting a tree. +++vibes+++

Snomaster, thanks for the heads upon how serious the current snowpack conditions are. Good on ya bud

Aaron, Brian told me about your dilemma. If Josh at Nidecker can't help out soon enough for y'all's trip your welcome to take my Venture Zephyr 164. Great board for charging big lines. Kind of a tank...

Jareds, talk about good timing! I've been up there before on sleds, skiing the more mellow south side. That's awesome y'all were able to get after the steep stuff

Hope your right Aaron !

Solid piece Dunfee

Skied the sliver today. Had to pull out just below the summit due to warming temps (12 noon) and some unsupported pack near some rocks.

Today's warming and late afternoon winds should stir things...

Anyone ski the park today? Didn't find to many windslabs at the village today. Wondering if things were a little windier/ touchier up in the high peaks? Thanks

Same here, been poking around on some couloirs off breccia peak. Lots of fun

Found evidence of a small slide next to fat bastard yesterday. Took a quick pic 152650

^ black hole couloir?

Good point Panchosdad.

Sounds like a good time Leifer. Love me some filthy funk :)

I've heard whispers from both.. Yesterday's slide victim in granite was a very experienced backcountry skier who works in the industry. Broken leg among other serious injuries. Very lucky to be alive
