Devil's castle rocked. The shenanigans at frank were cool. I went through the tunnel and off the jump in beaterific fashion. Good times

So, I genuinely want to know, what factual information you are looking for? Please, be specific as possible. If you choose not to answer with specifics I'll continue to assume that you have personal beef with the avy center.

It was our first year at Alta so we didn't really grok what that was about, saw the crowd/line for wildcat and never waited around. We'll be there next weekend though, would be fun to take a lap and/or have a pitcher on the GMD patio (for all Alta mags)

Also the first weekend they're closed I think a maggot ballroom / baldy chute day is in the cards...

I should be there next Sunday, maybe Saturday as well. I'll give ya a call as it gets closer.

[Skidog]

Sunday parking lot party. My group will be in the northwest corner of the lot. No need for pitchers at Gmd plenty of beer/booze in the lot. BBQ, etc. Swing by.

[mall walker]

right on! the wife and I will bring something to drink in the lot then. looking forward to it

Of greater interest are the now three explosive-induced wet slab avalanches to the ground in the Cottonwoods over the past two days. The two in upper Little Cottonwood released with 4 lb air-blasts, pulling out 3-5' deep and 1-200' wide, running on damp facets near the ground. These on steep northeast facing slopes at 10,000'. Debris piles were impressive. Control teams in mid-Big Cottonwood yesterday also triggered a 3' deep and 70' wide wet slab to the ground with a 2 lb air-blast on a west facing slope at 9800'.

the control teams operating mid big cottonwood canyon udot? powder birds? Cnl. Mustard with a boo strapped 2lber in the room of doom ?aren't any ski resorts in mid bcc which most would consider millb to spruces and a lot of terrrain so some facts would b nice
and the fact that a forecaster needs 4 days to release avalanche incident facts at a world premier "fireside chat" is bunk in mine and a host of others books.
rest assured i'm not the only one frustrated with the uac's direction and ftr i like Eveyln's advisories style and lack of needless fluff and think she should run it
very few lurkers ever tell me the hearts the threads drivel bringers so
lds is a special day of stoke, shenanigans,and shredin

The brownies were popular in the OC, but they caused way too many left behind skis, chairs, phones, and anything else not accounted for before consumption.

OK, I'll give you that this is partially valid, they could have given some more info. Granted, they only get info that is shared with them from the control team. So, maybe foster better relationships with said control teams? But you know the elevation, aspect and the effects. If you'd known the exact GPS coordinates of the slide and the name of the person that placed the charge would it have changed your decision making?

the fact that a forecaster needs 4 days to release avalanche incident facts at a world premier "fireside chat" is bunk in mine and a host of others books.

4 whole days??!! For an accident report that includes a death, 4 days is nothing short of an amazing, ball busting effort on the team that investigated and wrote the report.

assured i'm not the only one frustrated with the uac's direction and ftr i like Eveyln's advisories style and lack of needless fluff and think she should run it

It's too bad you are frustrated, but for a season of complaining you managed to come up with one, half-valid complaint. Your main complaint seems to be the social media and what you term "fluff." Don't use that content if you don't want it. I think the Snowbasin weather page is a bunch of useless bullshit so I navigate right past it and go to the snowstake link.

it grows a bit old

And this is just comedy.

[mall walker]

After looking at the west slabs / medusa face / zeus / whatever-it's-called since I moved into this apartment, finally put some turns where I can see them from my couch. Went up with skiATL on an extended lunch break... looked white enough to ski at least.



We got kinda lost on the way up in an absolutely heinous bushwhack... eventually made it to some white stuff.



Snow was honestly not too terrible considering the t-shirt weather. Some avy debris was kinda ugly but otherwise not bad.



First turns I ever put down in a tank top I think...





skiATL in it



Not a gnarly line or anything but since I look at it all day it was a prime low-hanging bucket list fruit.



The beta: bring sneakers, leave them where the snow starts.

[Bromontana]

Nice work, its an easy climb too. 5.easy.

umm dude tysen isn't a forcaster he's a guide
i have no idea how many days passed tween the lame initial report
on the gobbblers fatality and the final report
but your ranting about the wrong incident bro
the cowboy didn't die
just a few avvy dings or dongs
your

but in my casual observations,

is making you look ill informed more than slighty stupid, a borderine clueless, axe grinding casual observer
sweets
best i can figure if he just stated the facts way less people would come to the live fireside chat show,
obviously you didn't go or really even know what i was talking about

I agreed with you up until this season, when the forecasts and videos became absolute drivel full of social media buzzwords, alarmism and sorely lacking in pertinent information/objectivity. Then when the snowpack finally comes unglued and we have a string of avy incidents (not accidents, there is no such thing), instead of examining them and the decision making behind them critically, they resort to vagaries and cliches. And the liars can claim conspiracy theories all they want, but we are absolutely seeing a lack of real, informative, critical incident reports because of the closed, brown nosing nature of the ski industry.

That's what I've found frustrating about the transformation of the UAC over the last couple of years. They'll get my support again when there's a bloodletting and certain forecasters are forced out, but not before.

gm and the posters who all agreed with this fine frustration summary all want uac jobs too right?
or do the just want a better product?
casuals fine for some
hardcores better for sum & me
perhaps you should start a i hearts the uac or hates sfb thread make sure youre a bit more observent perhaps a bit less casual and have a better idea about what your ranting about and quit fuckin rogin the piss outta this ones
strong as crackheads would say
"ski what you ski when you pee"
stokes
ski you foos at highboys sun

[brutah]

all i know is the UAC is one of best avalanche forecast centers in the nation.

[Brad Davis]

Little Cottonwood Backcountry Closure in affect from 1:00 am to 8:00 am. Access closed from Grizzly Gulch to Monte Cristo Gully.

Thanks,
