Good skiing on shady aspects...the sun got to many slopes hard today. Still a little rocky gettin in and out of many places.

For those of you that think that video and the idiots in it were great, might I suggest you tune into the Death Sucks thread. IMO intentionally triggering an avi and having what appears to be NFC regarding its consequences is the height of stupidity and selfish, ignorant BC behavior. How would you have liked to have been skinin up to the ridge or through the runout when those two thought it would be cool to cut that pillow??????

clueless cunt and boy friend avvy migation specialist and statistic waiting to happen Moran Mike are gonna kill someone with this stupid needless shit
but hey I know where the learned it and whose encouragin this shit by putting it on their funded website. CG jr avvy squaud in da house. Are their badges. Ohhhhh I so want my class 4 badge.
Took the pooch up porter to avoid these fucktards and their quest to create repeater slidepaths.

While their actions seem really stupid, standing that close to a pillow/cornice to video with it cracking under their feet, who in their right mind would skin up under that slope or in the runout given the current conditions in the Wasatch? I'm not in UT, but the conditions observed in this thread and on other sites would seem to warrant cautious travel. I probably wouldn't skin beneath that slope in winter given stable conditions.

Since when is dropping cornices considered bad backcountry protocol? I cut cornices whenever I can. It is taught in avalanche classes.
There obviously wasn't anyone in the slide path. That slope was potentially deadly. They may have saved a life by dropping that cornice. What did these people do wrong exactly?

Didn't watch the vid, don't need to. Intimately familiar with the slope. Also know the perps very well.
That particular area is notorious for slides, mostly naturals.
skifishbum has it right.
Cornice kicking is done for protection, same as ski cuts, not for the camera.
Commonly skied areas of the slope were not included in the avalanche triggered, leaving the danger intact.
Wandering around aimlessly kicking cornice is trendy but doesn't improve safe travel through the mountains, a skill which seems lost in the current avalanche course format and amongst the current "avi experts".
Keep it up, it'll come back and bite ya on the ass.
Just because you can doesn't mean you have to. But then, I ski for me and to learn about snow, not for a pat on the ass, $10 and a youtube vid to ooh and ahh about.
Uh...excuse me, I gotta get over on facebook for some...likes?

I don't care that they cut a cornice, people have been doing that shit since leather boots. They're stupid because of how they did it, it cracks right under her feet and instead of moving or being further back in the first place she just continues to talk about how scary it is and she's nervous.

•Cornice test. Find a refrigerator-sized cornice and tumble it down the slope. Hint: ALWAYS wear a belay rope and use a snow saw or thin avalanche cord to cut the cornice. (emphasis added)

Here's a recent video of Bruce Tremper (Utah Avalanche Center) dropping a cornice while using a rope for safety.

Funny is I know "the girl" she is dubbed the queen of the wasatch. Knowing what I know of her....no suprise on the language.
Cornice cutting protocall was not observed. However the language nor the protocall is why UAC put the vid up on the web. The reason is watching the propegation on west monitor.
that was the impressive part.
now everyone can go back to their official armchair QB on MB and MW;s actions.

Too many men posting as vaginas in this thread.
It's ok for vaginas to post as vaginas, but when men do it, it smells of pussy in the worst kinda way.
That's my obs for today. And I love this thread for all it's cunting, pun intended. It's our culture, this ain't no purity thread. You need a filter, so be it, embrace it.
Jesus, I sound like SFB.

I figure dropping cornices is a safe practice if you intend to ski that slope. But I would assume they had no intention of skiing Monitor given the avy danger.
But a little discussion maybe, given our current state of the snow pack. Would it be better practice to let the snow sit and potentially create a bridge once the snow depth gets big enough and heel itself? Or is it wiser to intentionally create slides in places where you know get heavy ski traffic. The idea being creating numerous smaller slides in order to reduce the changes of potentially much larger slides in the future? Also need to take into consideration all the repeater slides that have been happening on top of our deep sugar snow.
Noticed two older (maybe from saturday or Sunday?) avalanches half way down short swing this morning. Both had crowns around 1 1/2 feet, prominent flanks and ran a few hundred feet into the trees. Both were small pockets that had trees above, below and on the sides. Ran on top of Facets and plenty of that sugar still remains on the bed surface. Surprised to see them so far down the slope and in a well protected area (slope rolled over to just around 30 degrees).

So let the slope sit and harden into a bigger more deadly slab? Whatevers. Probably would have run natural with the next storm. What is the proper way to drop a cornice that is already cracking at your feet anyway, say you?
Trackhead is right. Smells like rotten tuna in here.
