New to the area and don't really know any skiers. Have avy knowledge and gear. I work every other week so weekdays and weekends on my week off are both good. Also have a pass to the 'bird and am happy to trade a beer or two for some beta.

[mall walker]

I'm new to the area as well, but pass to Brighton/Soli. I'm no use in terms of beta (I've only done one tour here so far and it was pretty mellow/low angle) but I'd buddy up on a trip and/or beers anytime.

[skifishbum]

Welcome jongs
For 420 a day I will carry yours beer, scotch and assorted safety supplies in addition to supplying beta and brokuesque banter
anything involving dead hookers will come with a surcharge and additional compensation.

I'll take you up on that. I feel like there's a lot of local knowledge, 420 related knowledge as well (fucking red states man), that I can learn from you... I got my BC gear stacked up and ready, just waiting on this thurs-fri-sat-sun storming...

I'll hop in here, since I'm also new to the area... been coming out for a few years and have toured some of the popular spots in LCC/BCC but looking to explore more and don't know many local BC folks. Also have a pass to the bird since my wife is teaching ski school there

I hiked up Alta last Monday for some very thin turns (didn't move here to sit around...), but hoping we get some more white stuff this week so we can can get out this weekend

Alta always seems to have it. I'd go on Sunday (or before, if anything's in)

[skifishbum]

I'm getting dragged out of town for the in-laws Xgiving, leaving the 20th and won't be back til Dec 1, and haven't been on my skis yet... very keen to get some turns this Nov. I'm game next week if the snow is there.

Anyone know about Brighton? They're having some "preseason" park thingy on Sat, but possibly opening...soonish?

Cool I'll shoot you a pm towards the end of the weekend.

[skiATL]

Ill get in on this thread too. Moved out here in June. Got the big cottonwood pass, and starting to tour this year as well (likely taking avy 1 in dec.). Im always down to meet up and ski and have beers afterwards too.

Ill be up at brighton tomorrow. Should be fun.

[mall walker]

So Brighton opens tomorrow (Tues, Nov 18) and I will be up there, if any of you want to hang out and shred the white ribbon of death. I will be in yellow pants, a black BD jacket, riding white G3 Manhattans with touring bindings, gotta try out the new gear right? Also I have long hair. Or you can just PM me for details. Probably aiming to get there around 9:45, 10:00am, no huge rush as I'm sure it'll be kinda shitty. But idk, I've never actually been to Brighton.

So if you see a confused dude with fabio-esque flowing blond locks trying to click into his tech binders backwards asking everyone where the bar is, that would be me.

SkiATL is my old roommate. We grew up together. We have skiied together for years . He is a very nice young man who rips. He can be trusted

Who wants to get out for a stroll in the mountains?

Just got back into town, I've got about a decade of BC skiing experience, including a few seasons in the wasatch. I've never died in an avy and don't plan to. I'm down for anything from a quick after work evening skin up altas summer road or something a lot gnarlier like s face of sup or other assorted goals once we grow to trust each other. I'm typically in good enough shape I can keep up with most people without trying too hard but have been lazy recently and wouldn't mind a jaunt with a more relaxed pace if your off season training has included more 12oz and 1g curls than other forms of training. To be honest, although I approve wholeheartedly of colorados current political climate, it has wreaked havoc on my lungs, such is life....

[mall walker]

I'm game for a mellower tour, especially a dawn patrol situation. I've skied and hiked my fair share, although mostly in the east, so I'm very conservative with the avy forecast since I don't have a lot of experience judging the snowpack. Basically "low" days for me.

Also, any of you climb at Momentum in Mill Creek? I'm there most every weekday evening bouldering but would be down to do climb with some folks. I'm not great, V3 to V4, or 5.11b ish.

I'll be at Solitude on Saturday (probably Brighton on Friday and then whatever sounds best on Sunday), my fiancé is signed up for the ladies day thing or whatever... Hopefully we'll get some snow.

I'm working this week but if we get anything out of this next storm rolling through I'm down for a tour next week when I have free time.

mbillie1, Leroy, and anyone else - i'm lookin to get those dawn patrols goin. usually I try to be back at the car at about 8am, even earlier when it gets more towards spring and it's light out earlier. also lookin' to get out this weekend as usual.

[skifishbum]

[ryan14410]

yea I don't blame you, SFB. even when it's been crappy snow and a crappy skin during a dawn patrol, I've always enjoyed it. Always a great way to start the day; gets the blood flowin!

[skifishbum]

I'd be willing to do some pre-work tours. Work down in the valley, and have a pretty ski-friendly job. Lack of snow hasn't had me super motivated to get out, and this splitter isn't really helping things. I might be up to get out next week or something if you're interested.

Same here. I'm def itching to get out for some pre-work tours. Dont care about waking up early, but job isn't nearly as ski friendly...gotta get back by 9

ryan14410, sasquatch, skiATL, leroy jenkins:

anyone up for a dawn patrol tour this week? as in maybe tomorrow, thursday dec 17?

it seems that Fri/Sat/Sun I'm mostly inbounds with the lady, at least until the pack gets deeper... but I could drag my warm cozy ass out of bed if anyone else wants to pick an objective

also looking to tour possibly next monday/tuesday morning... I'm flying east for the holidays and it seems I will miss the big storm AGAIN

[ryan14410]

PM'd.
