Yesterday was good times at the Bird. Crowds in force for the sneaker powder day. But it delivered. Skied with some guys a bit out of my league. But they let me follow along with my camera.
I demoed the TECH TALK JONG! pro model this spring and their performance was unparalleled which is good because I ski in a wedge most of the time - bendtheski, 2011

Regarding the UAC, lol. After two, three, four decades, the UAC should just be a clearinghouse of information, how were the winds overnight, what observations and events have come in etc. At this point, the the UAC is there for the basic facts and major events, most of which shouldn't even come as a surprise. The cliches and advice that come across as annoying shouldn't be, they aren't meant for you but for folks new to making bc decisions.
I think the UAC has done an incredible job tempering all the really psyched up younger tourers and teaching them a bit of patience and self discipline through the last four or so more tricky snowpack years that we have had in the last six or so years.
For the record I thought the effort to continue Kimbrough's Christmas poem tradition was well done.

if anyone picked up a pair of skis by grizzly gulch last night w/orange BD poles, they're a friend of mines, and he'd be happy to have them back... 177 Elan Himalayas with radicals and fly low stickers on the tips.

Thank you,

Benny Hill kinda tour this evening. Started off by chance meeting a local Wasatch hardman athlete by Our Lady of Snow, who was kind enough to agree to tour with us. He (very politely and understandably) left us in the dust after what I will generously call 2/10 of a mile and fuck if my chest still doesn't hurt from trying to keep up.
Visibility was shit when we started and was still shit when we hit Toledo pass. Thought about dropping into Holy Toledo, but the snow seemed just as shit there as on the way up. Still, we hemmed and hawed until the clouds broke so at least we got a little view.
Ultimately decided it probably wasn't worth it since upon prodding and inspection the N-facing snow was equally as fucked as what we came up, so we just turned around and skied down the bowl. skiATL seemed to be having a rough time of it, which was odd because normally it's my ski-breaking jong ass who has a rough time of it, and I was managing. About halfway down I noticed and pointed out that he still had 1 skin on
The snow was bad, but I had been able to make some things that might pass for turns. I figured he'd probably be fine now. 1.5 turns later:
Sorry bro. Made me feel like less of a beater anyway
But if you're looking for that powder from the last 3 days, it is has been replaced with death-trap grabby mush. I would have preferred to ski ice. Still, beats not skiing I suppose...
Lotta visible debris as well (Toledo Chute ripped pretty good it looked like) but it all looked a day old or so, and we encountered no other signs of instability.

Skied the promised land trees towards guardsman off 10410, some really amazing snow through the trees, anything exposed was terrible.

UDOT will be testing explosive avalanche control equipment in LCC, Hwy 210, along the South Ridge of Superior, Wed. 5/4/16, between 7am and 8am. No road closures are planned. Touring parties should stay clear of the South Ridge of Superior during this time.

Went speed flying in Tanners on 13th and ski conditions where pretty ugly with avalanche debris , would recommend choosing another line.
Best

Snuck out to Alta at lunch, hiked up Collins, came down about 12:30 or so. Above the angle station was absolutely perfect corn, wish I could have taken more time to poke around. A bit mushier down low. Coverage was continuous until about 25' from the parking lot. Weather was very nice. I bet ~10am would be the sweet spot. Coverage still very good in the Baldy chutes, a good bit of noticeable slide activity on most of that steeper stuff.
