WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS, AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 18-19

[snowaddict91]

I always tell my wife I'm not that agro. Although the cop checking my tires at the bottom of LCC yesterday told me he didn't see the M+S on my tires. I was ready to tell him I'd get out and show him. Probably wouldn't have went over well lol.

STFU jong. ^ the 3.5 hours of choking on snow was worth the bullshit.

Speak for yourself, bro.

at GMD everyone handled it super well, and form what I saw, people were pretty mellow about the whole situation.

Definitely agreed. Everyone making the best of a bad situation... Alta vibes is what’s up.

[ChaseBrooklyn]

Every local here can relate. Let’s start a GoFundMe to bail him out.

I bail myself out. I appreciate the thought though.

I guess Alta cops just ain’t used to people defending themselves?

Anyway, I woulda made it if the traffic didn’t have me trapped. It took 3 cops and one tasser to subdue me. Maybe they think twice next time?

FML, this gonna be expensive.

[ChaseBrooklyn]

Most places, you'll spend 2-3 hours each way simply getting to the mountain. The fact that it sometimes takes a couple hours to get to the ski areas which are usually 20min from my door really isn't something to bitch about.

Speak for yourself.

And it’s taken a couple hours for that 7 mile trip everyday for the past week. Who you think you’re fooling?

Shoulda seen his head hit that snowbank! LOL

I’ll post pics in my next trip report.

It doesn't look thigh deep but it was. Maybe even waist deep if you are a touch over 5 feet. Fun day.

yeah, solitude was stupid good today

[WasatchFlatlander]

^A for effort. Lols

This comment confuses me...

The mountain closed after 3.5 hours. Everyone spent more time in traffic going to and leaving from Alta, than they got to ski. Not to mention almost 4 hours stuck in interlodge.

Worse still, all that precious powder that continued to pour down remained untouched.

How anyone can view this as a positive is beyond me. Quite the opposite actually.

What’s the point in all this amazing powder if you can’t even rip it? You did come to ski, right?

Aren’t you the douchebag who bitched about driving eight hours to ski on New England Blue Ice during Xmas? Then you get to Utah for the storm of the season and...you bitch about conditions.
Strong work.

Heh.

"the season ticket holder hit the officer, attempted to grab his gun and shoved his head into a snowbank"

What a maniac!

[altacoup]

I'll say this about those breaking interlodge in lcc. One mistake and there are no more howitzers for avalanche control in the whole country. Yes I said the whole country. Interlodge is serious shit for your own safety and that of skiers through out north america. Don't be a douche. DOD is doing is a favor letting avalanche control teams use those guns. Don't fuck it up. Oh. And you should be scared shitless of the power of one of those bullets.

If you don't see any problem with this, then you are part of the problem.

Bye girl.

Last week of skiing has been unreal. 100 percent life style validation. Roads, limited openings and closures can be a bummer. But if you haven't been having a killer time in the mountains the last week. Well, you're a beater.

Wow, read through the last seven pages or so to get some intel for February trip with my son. Learned drivers suck big time, tram line at Snowbird can be crazy long (due in part to Ikon pass holders like myself), and people go crazy when can't do as they please during and after a big storm. And then there are those who are stoked. Please keep the stoke up!

Admittedly I have been gone from UT for a long time, going on 28 years.

When I left an Alta day pass was around 22 bucks IIRR. How in the fuck did they get to 116 dollars?

Snowing up here in MT finally, you Utards play nice and get some.

What did the Alta cops do?

Nothing. He’s a troll.

Looks like tomorrow morning could be another good day.

Nah, not a troll, just a lil humor... obviously. It happened at Brighton, not Alta.

Sorry I didn’t conform to your opinion of what tgr poster should be. I’ll try better next time.

[Brock Landers]

Just be funny next time.

Apology accepted. Now go forth and sin no more.

[mall walker]

it's good out there boys. good enough for seconds and thirds. shin-to-thigh deep turns NE mid elevation, especially whoop-inducing where protected. wind has affected some exposed terrain but not terribly. skiing so, so good everywhere else. for the second day in a row, no instabilities or evidence thereof noted at mid elevation N thru E anyway. also not a single other person seen until a couple of scotsmen with sleds at the parking lot, where the hell is everyone? it's not THAT cold







another refresh overnight mmm. guess that means another early morning

[happytimefunbox]

Might head to Brighton for night pow tonight.
$25 with a receipt from a subway meal
