    ^what?

    Yesterday. Skins on from Mutual Dell. 1-5” of dry snow on top of a 90% supportable sun crust. I ended up walking down the single track at the end to avoid wrapping my leg around a tree.

    I’m trying to dial it back so I took a swing a skate skiing. I’m more likely to end up in the hospital from that around the cross tow than skiing Baldy on my alpine equipment.

    That exit is spicy. I kept em on until the last 2 switchbacks, wasn’t worth trashing the skis to get to the bottom.

    Agreed. N facing was getting pretty wind loaded and snow was a little touchy. Witnessed a natural cornice break that started a good size slide/stuff. S facing was variable. Not bad for April.

    ^ was that Alta/Baldy? Reports of naturals on Sugarloaf and Baldy today. I skied a shoulder from the connection gate around 6pm. Still skied well to the angle station. Everything below that got cooked.

    Are attachments not working for everyone?

    NW up to 10k in my usual drainage was pretty bad, though the crusts were largely supportable. below ~8k seems like there was not a solid refreeze. up canyon may have fared better.

    I went up and did a couple laps of Wildcat Face this morning and it skiied fairly well...but that's largely due to the wind resetting things. Snow turned bad just below the angle station.

    Overheard another party saying Thirds and upper High Boy was good but down low was terrible.

    Weird seeing the sign lines buried by cornices.

    Also, can confirm below 9k at Alta got cooked yesterday. S facing in upper LCC had a ton of natural wet slide activity from yesterday as well. Wouldn't ski anything on that side of the road today.

    Or not. [SPRAY]

    On Sat Ms Boissal finally allowed me out of the house. Either she was satisfied with my progress on the 5-star chicken coop or she got tired of cracking the whip and needed me out of her hair. Regardless, after a week without skiing a beatdown was in order.

    I didn't linger on top of the Pfeiff for long, winds were nuking and it felt colder than BC in January. The SW face was glorious though:

    It took some effort not to go all the way to the bottom of Dry Creek. So much room and low angle goodness in that drainage. Also, acceptable scenery. Several lifetimes worth of skiing on these 4 peaks:

    I was starting to feel a bit lonely on the way to Bighorn. I've been on the S face of Lone Peak a few times and it's huge, the back bowls of Thunder Mountain are flatter but feel even bigger:

    The booter was in on the Bighorn shoulder, made my life easier. No pics of that section as the temps dipped back into polar territory, the raging wind came back, and I couldn't wait to get off the ridge. The S face had tracks but the wind had buffed it back to perfection all the way to the upper Hamongog.

    Time to pay the piper and begin the endless slog to escape from UT county. The scenery is quite distracting:

    Lone Peak had some proud looking tracks down the E couloir. Unbelievably scenic corner of the range:

    I decided to skip S Thunder and drop into Hogum via a sneaky line a buddy skied earlier this year. The entrance is unreal, a nondescript notch somewhere on Lightning Ridge with a tiny sneak between massive granite gendarmes which leads to a perfect platform to transition. Better pick the right notch, the others are a bit more extreme:

    I skied out of Maybird last week and skinned back to White Pine to get my car and it was completely hateful so "skiing" out of Hogum (again) wasn't high on my list. I was enjoying my time in the pain cave and decided I needed some Obelisk in my life. Slogging across Hogum the wrong way:

    Fortunately the winds were still at it and had kept things from heating up too much, making the skinner up the SW face of the Hogum Divide manageable. I ran out of water a few 100' from the top, food had been a distant memory for some time, and I started seeing things that weren't there (mostly cheeseburgers). The E face skied really well and I almost forgot my angry legs but below 10k things went to complete shit. The Red Pine trees and the summer trail exit shredded the remains of my patience and I got to the White Pine bridge screaming obscenities in the wind.

    Shit escalated even more when I realized the car battery was dead and I terrorized the whole parking lot when the portable jumper refused to work. I was about to call Ms Boissal for a rescue when I remembered I had stashed a couple of beer in the snowbank. That calmed me down and I managed to start the car.

    That is all. Keep the stoke alive Wasatchlanders!!
