8th annual
https://utahavalanchecenter.org/even...public-session
this sat.
props to the uac for putting it togather again. If youve never attended one you should consider pretty good forum and exchange of information.
It takes a lot to get up in front of a group and discuss avvy incidents mistakes and what you learned from your experience, kudos to those who do.
i'm bummed i'm not a pro bro i'd really like to hear IR's sillytude presentation in the am session.
stay safe n git sum in wasangles this season

From what I understand it's an easy bluff into the AM session, and it's not like you will be pushing out a pro from a seat once you are in. Just say you have 8,000 posts on TGR or something.

Let the good times roll!

[skifishbum]

i'm sure i could use my "professional" snow reporter ski ute and spansered brand ambassdor bluffs but i gotta work an am shift.

12-18" in the cottonwoods starting monday...

time to tune up the skis

[skiATL]

public session was great as usual. It's a definite must-do for me every fall now.

looking like a quick dawn patrol wednesday morning might be in order with the new storm

Hey fellow Wasatchers! Stoke is getting high for the upcoming season. Unfortunately my time in the Wasatch is limited this year to about a month during December and January and a couple weeks in the spring. If anyone wants to get rad with me at the Bird or get weird in the backcountry with me while i'm in town just let me know.

Been skiing for about 13 years now, always looking for some down to earth people to shwalrp pow with.

PM'd you both, and same goes for me - shoot me a pm anytime/anyone. Hoping to do tues-fri mornings in a "back by 9" kind of mode all season.

[The Gnarwhale]

Yeah, looks like things are about to start happening for y'all:

U of U weather thinks maybe 14" starting Tues and tapering off by Thurs. Looks like Jackson will get the brunt of this one though

[yabyum]

Thanks for the OBS Gnar, Hope all is well in your house.

Pm sent.

Same here except I'll also do Monday. Hoping for a better season and way more days than last year.

Nov 1 ---- trace to 2 inches on n facing upper little cottonwood with one small pile of manmade showing excellent stability in isothermal snow in collins gulch.

[mall walker]

It's on.



skiATL getting the first (and only) face shot of the day...



Some surprisingly acceptable snow.



My bad tele steeze



Rail shenanigans.



I can't really tele but they're my rock skis so...

We skinned up to the top of Wildcat. 6-8" or so on the ground. It wasn't bad if you stayed on the grass. Let it snow

Once we've got enough snowpack, I will be up for the occasional dawn patrol. Get stoked!

[Johnny Deep]

Up north as in where??

[mall walker]

Fuckin Moab got 3'

[zion zig zag]

very cool

I must admit that it's a photo I post every year when people start posting photos of them skiing grass. This is from back when early season storms were skiable, at about 5000 feet of elevation no less.

[skifishbum]

^^^^^ Thought there were shenanigans goin on w/ that pic
well coverage was better this weekend vrs last


sillytudes new summit towers are up but no cables or chairs

workin on smokerise though

still sparse and base bashin chocolate chippers ahoy

bit more coverage atop crest but best turning conditions found along the edges of the bullit proof leave no tracks mounds of mother natures helpers

the child still awaits patiently for the next snowfall
but piggy backs up
because this = what we do

[peace_coast]

going skiing tomorrow. no particular place, time, or agenda in mind. pm me if interested.

[mall walker]

The mrs and I will be up at Alta something like 6 or 6:15 for the feeding frenzy. I'll be wearing a blue/white TGR beanie, yellow pants, green freeride systems jacket.

[peace_coast]

i might get outta bed that early if i try hard... have fun up there
