re: naming where I skied ...
It's not about parking or giving up secrets, most info on most spots is all on the Internet.
It's about not having named spots handed out on a platter, in a thread that is really about managing a specific avalanche problem over the last 3 weeks ... we use topo maps, traffic patterns, practical logistics about where people live and where we can meet up to carpool, available parking and a multitude of other factors to plan specific trailhead decisions ... this is an avy problem thread and I disclosed aspect, general elevation, slope & terrain characteristics that went into my avy decision making.
Also if I had been staying on someone else's couch I probably would have skied in a completely different location, but with almost identical terrain characteristics.
Check caltopo.com (aspects and slope shading) and GoogleEarth (treeline and cliff characteristics) if you really want some beta about how to plan your next tour to manage for specific avalanche problems!!!
