the new milk run gate, btw, is fucking atrocious.

I get what they're trying to do, but they probably need to make the gate even higher to filter out the side steppers. Also that traverse into Middle Slop was heinous after two hours of light use once some sun hits that it will be closed.

Maybe let Milk Run drop from the original gate, but run the rope line all the way up, and make Parachute, and Middle slop drop from the weather station?

Yukon, I spun some laps with you in middle slope. Nice to meet you dude, see you around, we're there every day.

That was a good few laps! I'll be back out tomorrow to hopefully catch Honeycomb opening, see you out there. I'll PM you my number and we can link again.

I'm really becoming a fan of the afternoon game, everything is so much chiller.

My favorite skiing time slot is the noon to 3, up after the morning shift is done, down before the 4 o'clock canyon crunch.

Continuing to deliver the stoke

Met up with Bob and Mary, they were also stoked

Quick lap before work turned into a whole day making turns. Nobody around, great snow, no reason to leave.

Where did everyone go? Has the Wasatch given up on skiing in the backcountry?


I'm not complaining. Great snow. No crowds. One other track in the zone I skied.

The entire face across the road from Alta had like 6 tracks on it today. I couldn’t believe it every time I skied down the resort. If I wasn’t rolling solo I’d have been out there.

You should have gone, that face is cooked by now. Even W aspects were getting a nice zipper crust by 4PM. It's going to be interesting to see how the new load adjusts to the swing in temps tomorrow and Sat...

I’m sorry but are these snow totals from UAC for this weeks storm or what? Because I don’t see anywhere near 45” of snow here in upper BCC.

Final Storm Totals
Little Cottonwood Canyon: 25-49.5" snow (1.60-2.60" H2O)
Big Cottonwood Canyon: 14-44" snow (0.82-2.73" H2O)
Park City Ridgeline: 12-16"snow (0.80-1.20 H2O)

Maybe they borrowed Snowbird's measuring tape?

Nowhere to park for dawn patrol...

bunch of gapers took our parking spots...saw a pile of people on wed, stuck in flats or digging themselves out of that sweet waist deep pow at Alta.

- missed yesterday ;parking was nowhere to be had at 11 am...and sore back too so I bailed. lol /it happens

Wed had some SWEET turns to be had Supreme was pretty much walk on, as everyone was either at Collins or in the Lodge

Yeah lmao I commented on that to my partner yday. drunk.

[jtran10]

Alta site shows 33" March 7-9 / 1.97" water. Where are these mythical places in the upper cottonwoods that received more SWE than the collins sensor?

This rope drop looks insane

such a good day up north at snowbasin. Best non pow day of the year. The cold temps and the wind blew a bunch of snow into areas to freshen them up. Everything soft. Skied a bunch of stuff I haven't touched all year, lone tree, middle bowl and needles cirque. hopefully the wind keeps up tonight and gives us another refresh.

That is stupid as fuck. Wow

[2FUNKY]

Yep. The smart ones looked to be headed further out.

The smart ones go when the patrol countdown hits 2. Then if they have any skills they are first to MBX and not stuck in the cluster. If you head out your behind everyone and have to wait an hour to head back up. Min ropedrop is suck a shitshow

pretty fun morning and snow held up well on south faces



Poor guy doesn't have verts. There's a gofundme linked in my profile to get him some



Right turns were firing

[Boissal]

^^^ Proper trenching, it had been a while!
No verts in a vert booter is a special kind of pain!

[CirqueScaler]

"Once we got to the top I skied an 8 foot wide strip of snow that hadn’t avalanched between the two deeper slides. My partners moved to the right to ski. What we didn’t take into account until after is that the right side had avalanched but not down to the PWL.

God, idfk, hope I'm not disrespecting my elders but that's just not for me tbh.

No 2Funky, the smart ones keep lapping the cirque. Miserable basin is only there to keep the beaters and ikoners off the cirque and out of the tram line.

Although I generally agree with the sentiment, if you truly knew what was up you’d have been over at Cham and gotten a better run without the masses. Two feet of fresh beats beat out Cirque runs, regardless of the lift wait. YMMV
