not many peeps want to work (2) 2-3hr shifts 6 hours apart. I wouldn't. That's one big problem to overcome with the crunch times.
When I moved to SLC I had a data processing job which I could do in 2hrs (took others 6hrs), from 4-6am. They agreed to pay me for 8hr shift for a while, then the bean counters saw my hours and pay, and moved in and nixed the deal. I explained to them that the issue was they were never going to find someone who would work a 2-4am shift, because they'd need to get another job also. Almost nobody is going to do that. They never could fill the position on their terms, because people are stupid but aren't that stupid.

^^^ Blew my mind the first time I saw this shit.
How long did I take to "ski" Lisa Falls the first or last time?
Next level stuff.

I think wing suits typically have about a 3:1 glide ratio. I don't know if that has improved recently or if they get "on step" faster than they used to.

Looks like NW Montana took a bullet for us. 4' of new?
Boy are they gonna have deep instability with every new load...
Here in the LCC we picked up an inch?
And the last snowfall was pretty much melted even on upper elev. N facing.
Fingers crossed that it keeps snowing once it really starts, eh?Time spent skiing cannot be deducted from one's life.

Was totally content to barely see a dusting this morning. Anyone know when they are gonna fix the running water across 210? Gonna be a sheet of ice in a month or so.
I still can't believe the two landslide paths when I go up the canyon. Simply unreal.

I believe that UDOT is going to start working on that soon. A total of 6 culverts to be installed on 210 in the next month

One of the classic LCC boulders that sits at the edge of that wash is basically gone. When I started bouldering about 15 years ago I was sketched by some of the tall problems on it, the lip was maybe 12' above ground. Now the lip is at waist level. The amount and size of the debris that came out of Lisa Falls and the washes around it is really something...

Saw this in the minutes from the August Town of Alta council meeting, per Mike Maughan.
The Ski Area and UDOT had discussed setting a strict regulation requiring only four-wheel drive vehicles or snow tires in the canyon between November and April, but they were still considering how to best enforce such a regulation.
This seems confusing as it says four wheel drive or snow tires. Four wheel drive without snow tires is what we have now and snow tires alone without four wheel drive would be a step back from the current regulation of four wheel drive or chains. I suspect it got jumbled when the minutes were recorded. Hoping that snow tires mean 3PMSF and not the inadequate M+S.
MM also said the land swap is dead.

WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS, AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 18-19
There was a KSL article yesterday stating that snow tire requirements for 2WD will now be 3PMSF instead of M+S.

The comments on that ksl story prove just how dumb most people are.

I had to stop reading them. Although I found the article to be confusing about what is actually required and when. Probably makes no sense to the average Utahn.

Totally confused. When LCC is restricted its 4X4 or chains. IMO that is inadequate as the type of tires means just as much as the type of vehicle. Currently when they are checking vehicles they turn around two wheel drive vehicles unless they have chains. So a two wheel drive Camry with 3PMSF tires can drive up the LCC or BCC? This seems like a step back.

They need to put a smart blanket policy for both Canyons November thorough April
4/AWD or chains ( in the car if not needed on)
I cannot tell you the number of times tourists rent the cheapest rental they can find to get up to the Canyon from whatever limited service place they found in Sandy or even to get to lodgeing at the resorts.
Never forget some D bag bragging to me @ Solitude how he "beat the storm" in his compact rental to get up to the Inn @ Solitude. Typical Utah it puked for days and he got angry he couldnt get back down the canyon to get his flight. if memory serves Ill advised strategy and I wouldnt even dig him out ( outdoor parking for Inn Guests, good times) as there was no way he could logically, legally or realistically drive that car to the airport that day

After 40 years of full time 'trollin in the literal sense, going part time.
Question for the collective:
If one could pick Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday for working, what would it be?
Especially for the obscure, not worried about powder frenzy in the central Wasatch,
Would you rather have Friday or Sunday in the back country?
Not just for the Wasatch...
(Haven't had Friday Saturday or Sunday off in 30? years).
ZZZ, Dan, Brutah, Boissal, et al, please sound off...Time spent skiing cannot be deducted from one's life.

FWIW, Friday is the new Saturday. Up Here, next to Rexburg and BYU Idaho, Saturday seems to be busier. Sunday is the Lard's day. All things considered, Friday may be the best for back country in the Wasatch.
