I think the callout was at mark white, but he's not in this thread so kinda confusing. But ya, posting about skiing the monitors this week not exactly the best thing he could've done

Amazing what an Ikon base blackout will do. The midweek storms feel like a holiday and the holidays feel like they're midweek. Originally Posted by Dshack89

The report hit close home as they were friends and hard to digest the events.
Much love to you all, keep getting after it safely and conservatively!You took too much man, too much, too much

hard to not have others enthusiasms for the simple act of recreation in snow rub off on ya and the furkids savin my season

bit of a junk show in the god friendly canyon
i guess the lack of traction control laws and oversite dont apply in that canyon but its ropeless and not part of the cottonwood water shed scam
me and my crew were super blessed to be mentored by those tasked with safety tween the ropes
havent been reading the forecast and obs that much this season but
BN's who was one of those mentors words stand out to me
stay safe n positive and enthusiasticThe snowpack in the cental cottonwoods is finally getting deep enough to stop the faceting process near the ground. Stopping this process and healing the weakness are two different things however. That is going to take much longer, if it ever happens this winter. There is now a dense thick slab above the well documented weak layers deeper in the snowpack. It may be hard to trigger but if one is to find a deficit zone or an area where the slab is thinner, the weight of a rider is capable of triggering a very large avalanche.

Forgot what time to line up for a canyon closure so we got in line around 640. Pretty close to the merge

A lot of fun this morning. Peaceful and stuck to low angle.

We need more blackout weekends. Expected hellacious traffic with the closure, but heading up at 9:30 seemed just fine never hit any traffic whatsoever.
What a day, legit 20 inches. Can confirm the Utah Jazz sideline reporter skis the pow well.
Smiles were had.

Rad.
Seriously, fuck epic/ikon. I miss the wasatch of my youth. I don’t even want to visit anymore, let alone live there and that makes me sad.

WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS and ASSORTED DRIVAL 20-21
Saw this on social media today. Zero crowds. Contrast that to the prior few weekends and it seems obvious that ikon is a problem

That’s probably a bit misleading, Zoom line was to the end of the ropes most of the day. But, it was a lot less crowded than I was expecting.

Just posting for reference, Flag had a decent slide. Looked like a crown in Toledo bowl but hard to tell with clouds.
Kudos to UDOT and UPD for a smooth LCC opener this morning. Started moving up the canyon at 7:10 and progressed to each gate as they worked up the canyon. Hit the Collins lot around 8:15.

they are completely different...3 of the boards in the top photo of this page I made, and the other board is a Grassroots board.... I made a few for fun and a few buddies bought them from me... typically a good pow surf board will have some concave or a slightly downturned edge that helps keeping the board from slipping out when turning.

Can confirm there was also a slide in Toledo. The tracks all the way right in this photo are from me and my partner. Apparently my buddy saw the skier set off this slide. I missed it. We chatted with the guy for a minute and then he kept skiing. Originally Posted by Dshack89

sun barely came out but sure was nice for the little that it did. not a single track in Days
visibility was challenging at times

the bottom half of the shot with all the tracks had snow before the storms started in december. If I had gone out there today I might have felt more comfortable skiing in the area that ended up sliding because I knew the PWL wouldn't have been present there. Scary!
Did they use the remote avy doohickey thingy on that this morning?

Another good day with a lot powder and no people’s
Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

Been saying S facing for the win.
Munching a little humble pie tonight.
The slides on Flag and Toledo were new snow that got jumped on a little quick and predictable, but there was an explosive triggered slide on SW Patsy this morning to the ground, 4+ feet.
A NW wind that is moving snow on W Patsy (a huge fetch) deposits it on this slope, and it's 40 degrees, but still...
Having a hard time picturing much old rotten snow on the ground there compared to other exposures. Obviously enough.
Not the only one surprised around here.
Usually don't need to, but this is prolly a good time to be digging pits on S facing.
Seeing what is actually on the ground, not what some geezer is guessing is there.
Here comes another storm with how much water by Friday?
