Fuck yeah! I'll add pics later. Those goats were laughing their asses off.
Quick question. Are you guys just booting up baldy from wildcat, or are you following the skin track from wildcat up it?
When I went the other week, it looked like a skin track had been laid, but there was boot tracks in the skin track all of the way up. Seemed like the skin track was pretty steep too. I would be worried about skinning up it and loosing traction with those boot prints in it.

Yeah, I know that Beaterd did that the other week and he said he was having issues kicking his boots in because it was so firm. I'm in soft snowboard boots. You think crampons would be a good idea if booting up it then? I don't know how much snow conditions have changed and if it has softened up with the weather.

From the NWS tonight.BUT ODDS FOR A SIGNIFICANT AND MUCH NEEDED MOUNTAIN SNOW EVENT EARLY NEXT WEEK ARE NOT LOOKING NEARLY AS FAVORABLE AS THEY WERE EVEN 24 HOURS AGO.

wtf
. Showers are tracking across the area this morning but with the warm air in place...snow level will be 8500 to 9000 feet. Models backed way off on the storm for Monday night and Tuesday. Now looks cold but not very wet.
and from the latest AFD:
"DECENT LOW-
LEVEL COLD ADVECTION WILL BE ESTABLISHED OVER MUCH OF THE STATE BY
THE TIME THE MAIN TROUGH ARRIVES LATE TUESDAY. THE BIG CHANGE
MENTIONED ABOVE IS THAT THE CORE OF THE TROUGH...AND THE MID-LEVEL
COLD AIR ARE NOT HEADING STRAIGHT FOR NRN/CNTRL UTAH. THIS IF COMES
TO PASS WILL CREATE A MUCH MORE UNSTABLE AIRMASS...AND POSSIBLY
LEAD TO SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER AMOUNTS OF PRECIP."
That's usually a good thing for us. Usually.
All of the meteorological media sources were talking about this week being the week that old man winter came storming in on and now, with all of their hot air, they've warmed up the damned atmosphere and killed the storm.
Andfor the jinx!
Please Moroni, forgive me.

Perhaps these meteorologists are unfamiliar with the annual Bum Z Thanksgiving East Coast trip. See, 5 out of the last 6 years, (and actually, the 100" T-Day weekend storm the year before that, as I didn't move to SLC until after Thanksgiving) it has dumped more than forecast. I can't promise that it will dump next week, but I fly out on Tuesday and don't get back until Saturday night, so chances are good for a solid storm. If not, blame it on Bush and global warming.

so far this thread is a let down. or perhaps that's the weather. or it could be my attitude. or perhaps it was jinxy

I made it home without intentionally crashing my car at 80mph, but that definitely doesn't mean I'm not going to end my life in the next couple minutes.
Finally snowin' above 4000 feet on hood!!!

Stood upon a mountaintop.
Walked barefoot in the Snow.
Well this is just fucked up. The thermometer reads 67 degrees outside right now. Think I may go out on a motorcycle ride.
