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

[alias_rice]

I hiked up to do main chute a couple weeks back just in time to see some dude slay it on some old school force 9’s. Just saw the video of it on the tgr instagram feed. It looked even better in person.

I skied it just slightly less elegantly.

Bird was alltime awesome groomers today with my kid. After today I can say Im chasing my kid instead of him chasing me.

If GP ran into me I would at least slap her ass before sending her on her way

Excuse rejected.

didn't man up for the big guy with the cliff in the middle, but couloir week continues nonetheless







climbing crux was failing to realize in the dark that I could avoid this little rocky bit entirely on either side...





happy to report that the road was free of traffic

[Boissal]

#4?? Well done!! I need to get all the lower numbered ones done still.
We saw a party going up its neighbor the Pearl yesterday, looks like everything is in and getting hit!

yessir! it was terrific coverage. #1 was looking pretty nice too... maybe tomorrow morning lol. the pearl was still showing some bones it seemed to me but certainly looked manageable...

A little late, but here's some more stoke.
Made it on the GWI Friday. It really wasn't that bad. Skiing on ropes was pretty chill compared to my first time climbing ice. Good steep skiing where there wasn't ice.







Also made it up to snapdragon and ivory on Sunday. Snap is pretty damn far back there. Turned into a big day with a lot of extra weight (turned into a training day)

that's an awesome tribute. ah shit there's something in my eye...

after some night ops bushwhacking, some nice booting and some minor wallowing, dawn came





I guess I wasn't sure what the view was gonna be like from the top of the line but I sure wasn't disappointed





the exit is certainly still character building though

[Brock Landers]

Hi all, I've got a pair of DPS Lotus 120s I recently snagged from DFinn for the binders on them. They are thoroughly used/abused with multiple core shots and a really thin base. There is also a rumor that these skis were once owned by a certain retired tgr legend. I'm looking to get these skis to someone long on stoke and short on funds. I have a home basewelder and am happy to give the repairs a shot, or maybe someone else in the thread with better skills/experience will want to help out.

Looks like a sweet day, Dibs. Especially nice when it's dedicated to the ol' pup.

well then it would just so happens that i now haz access to a

judging from the stickers i guess its full one
oh and an fyi Tim decided to get out of the ski business/industry a month or so ago
so droppin his name along with your gear at this point kinda makes it seem like
well maybe if ya really knew him ya would know at this point
im bummed not to get to work under/for him
he did a lot of solids for me and a lot of peeps gear
and im stoked and filled with respect for and to be part of the team/operation that he B&K and the 2T crew have establish
and wish him happy trails and success in what ever endeavors he choices
they dont lets me mess with no super high dollars ski fixin car wash machines yet
but i safely embrace new technology and the future waxins stuffs

bring me them retired dental ledgends powders skis and ill luvs em ups for whatevarz future endeavors the embrace
on the stoke front
once upon a time a 30 sumthins dad bought his crotchfruit grom some sticks for xmass

aint sure ifin he knew the kids life and choices of skills would start sliding down hill at that point
and well i didnt end up utarded by accident
they shared that passion and the places it took em

the old man sufferd some health issues, new knees, and other things of age i guess some medical professionals told him to give it up and well 6 or 7 years passed by and its kinda easy not to ski specially when ya gots a whippy stick fly flingin addiction
but the wife and i have been telling him there is no reason why you cant occasionally ski
and once upon a yesterday i got him out again
it wasnt pretty but at 77 it aints gots to be

i fucked up and upsloped him on apex and didnt do a lot for his confidence but we made it over to moonunits
suck limited to loosing a shop pass, his ability to turn left, and needing to go work that afternoon
oh and the fis circus is in town so parking uberfucked
but damn them one plank chicas rip

im pretty sure hes gonna go again
snow sliding

I might know a guy (me) who is fond of rejected skis and could give them a loving home

[dfinn]

Rad to see your Dad out and about Dibs. Always fun fishing with him and the vets.

Let’s keep those red pow skis alive. They’ve been on some adventures and were once touched by the ex internet famous guy named Marshal.

[Boissal]

Dibs, nice tribute, I'll pay my respects next time I'm up there. And great dad story!

Fook yeah man, you might have converted me to the early morning gig, thanks!! I'm feeling a bit comatose after 2nd breakfast though... It's gonna be a long day at work.

Another couple shots of what may be the last couloir day for a bit...

Sporty booting:



Sporty skinning:



Wasangeles awakes:



The elusive week-old pow, getting harder to find, especially when booter week is in full effect and all the low hanging fruits are scoured to the bone.
MW makes it look good and easy on skis that are so skinny I don't think I could stand on then without falling out of the back seat.



Endless roly poly goodness with a pretty decent view:




I heard someone took a nasty digger in the Y yesterday, he tried to style his way through the rocky choke and somehow cartwheeled off the edge and rolled 1000' down the chute. He somehow stopped before reaching the apron and was more or less fine, all limbs still attached but a bit out of it (concussed?). He broke a ski and a friend of mine cleaned up his yardsale. Guess he and his buddies got themselves out on their own. Ski fast take chances doesn't work so well in no-fall zones it seems...
