Wasatch 07-08 Observations

[cdlv]

no correction, high boy slid too to the cat track.

sun is out and it's getting super sketchy out there as it warms up. skied bird today they shut off a lot of stuff @ 12( road to provo, pow paradise. for our last run we went to the chutes right above Peruvian and they had no closed signs so we hit chute 4 and set off a nice size slide that shut down the lift( if you were stuck on there for a while sorry).

Glad I already decided against another dusk patrol tonight. After seeing all the activity up there last night and hearing about it today, I think I'll be wearing my beacon tomorrow at the Bird.

I don't believe you. Powstash does not ride lifts. Nice try.

And wear the proper clothing JONG!

[zion zig zag]

First of all, Xover's memory is shorter that that guys in Memento. Best pow in two months?

Secondly, no instabilities other than some sluffing this morning.

Thirdly, I should have driven to City of Rocks instead.

[yabyum]

A avy statement was put out by the forcast center this afternoon (5-23) that 12"+ of snow is on the move...use your avy eyeballs this weekend!

It was opened and untouched...what were we to do???

Sorry to anyone who was on that lift. It was stopped for too long. Oh and sorry lifites who had to shovel that shit.

That was a wet wait on peruvian.

[Trackhead]

Still plenty of snow on June 16th.


East facing at 10:30am was ripe corn.


Easy booting.


Ran into some hippy old school tele folk.




North facing at 11:15 skied very well.


Wolvy Cirque, plenty of snow.

[powstash]

Don't you have some biking to do? ^^

[Trackhead]

Don't you have some biking to do? ^^

Too damn hot. Gotta stay high.

[Xover]

1. Hackhead doesn't bike; he just rubs his scrotum on the seat.
2. Hackhead is always "high"; even at work.
3. I thought you weren't skiing again until July
4. How the fuck did it feel getting lapped by McLean (you were ahead in the first pic; then way behind in the 2nd)

Go back to "arm chairing" in the Alta thread; you were more entertaining over there bitch

[Trackhead]

Going out again tomorrow, but a bit earlier. The corn is legit right now. Get sum.

Sick corn man I am so jealous.

[Trackhead]

Went to Wolvy again today from 7:30-11am. Good corn, again.

Nohow and Tri-Ungulate were sluts for the heli.

[sfotex]

Wolvy is still skiing well even with this heat. Better get some before it's gone:

[Trackhead]

June 26th. 100 yard walk to the snowline at Alta.


50 yards of skinning on grass.


Then corn.


Pleasant booting.


Skiing the super gnar Camera Tilt Couloir.


Good thing he had the avalung ready, not only for the skiing, but booting up Main can be sketchy this time of year.

[Skidog]

Skiing the super gnar Camera Tilt Couloir.

Ha is this a reference to what I think it is?? Looks like a green dot trail

hows that skiing? Looks as nice as it did last weekend....

[smuggs]

you got main we got pearlas ......sketch factor of 8

[JTrue]

Good to get out today. Some Pics...

Derek came prepared in his shorts...


Then he chatted on the Phone for a bit, while posing for PMGear


Then we skied corn, and realized it was June 26th and the skiing still rocks.

[dfinn]

skied main chute this afternoon. It's still good all the way through. You can almost still ski top to bottom, I think I only walked for 10 minutes in between patches.
