I think it will really help ease the line-up on Summit on pow days. Taking Hot Wheels becomes a real viable option and it should help spread everyone out quickly. Knowing you can go up to Art's and have a fun lap down to Scott (or Lakeview or Sherwood) doesn't make Summit such a no brainer anymore, and same deal for RoundHouse on windy days - you still have two pretty good options instead of a line at Roundhouse going back three towers.
There's still going to be plenty of stashes around that mountain since a lot of people refuse to hike even a little.

I took a couple of days off to give my knee a break, and should have continued that program today. I had a feeling that even slightly sunny aspects would bad, so i went to PH after initially considering RLP.
Every aspect I could find was either dust over partially frozen mank/breakable crust or wet slide debris. I made it down without hurting myself and called it a day after 1 lap (my usual PH minimum is 3).
I'm going mountain biking now bc the trails behind my house are perfect. If you didn't ski today, I'd say ROMO is the right attitude

That looks pretty good ^^ gotta drive down that way in the am to get measured for a knee brace, if the weather holds off might try and take a spin while I’m down there.

Skied West and East side of relay peak today, fantastic powder. Finally skied a short couloir that i was eyeing for over a year. Before today it was really narrow at the bottom, with a90 degree turn, blind from above.
There was finally enough snow to try it. A few good turns, but really not worth it.
Here is a picture across the valley. Going back to spend a whole day here, soon.

Adrenaline firing at the pass today. Backed off a line but dragon lurked under plan b as well. 3rd turn jigsawed but fortunately was initiating a turn at high speed when I became aware so was able to point it out. Friend in a couloir next door had it rip wall to wall on him as well today. Good reminder day that moderate is not a full green light++++

Where was this, and what aspect?
On relay peak, it was really stable, even though breaking trail around 10,000 ft, east aspect, i was really worried about the wind slabs. Nothing moved, but i felt really stupid, and I'm convinced i lucked out.
Which is not a strategy.

From lookers perspective, left to right: Promised Land - Crag Chute - Juniper Face - Scott Chute - Murphy's Mistake - Chute That Seldom Slides - CTSS Trees
I suppose if you wanted to go even farther left: Lower 40 - Gentian Gully - Butcher Block Rock - Subway Cliffs then Promised Land.

Mark - you're all for the Hot Wheels replacement lift IIRC yes? You more than anyone should have a pretty good take on its impact...

Damn gimpy. Glad no one was taken.
And boy is that area stacked with snow.

Re hot wheels lift--the people that would ski arts and the other stashes already do. It's not like they're hard to get to now. Now if the svam gondola
gives easy access to estelles that would be a problem

seems to be a bit of a difference between the north and south shore currently. Lots of avalanche observations yesterday from the south shore vs snowpack obs from the north shore. The Blue Lakes ob with no pictures but reports of multiple d2 and d3s had me particularly worried.
I came across this at elephant hump yesterday in an area i'd never seen slide before. Buried the usual skin track.
I had a combination of errands and a little fear over the objective and stayed away from RLP today. The errands disappeared so i opted for the east shore and a relaxing day with the pups

Nice vid PD. Gimpy, glad you’re safe.
This weekend’s skiing was a lot of fun despite the wetness.
I made a dumb edit of my mediocre skiing.
