Wasatch 07-08 Observations

[melvin]

We observed that the snow was hard JONG.

Precisely my point.
The snow was the same as it was the day before and the day before that.....

So why not just post "Skied Main today, it was same as it has been" ? Why post pictures?

If you want to post pictures of the same ole same ole, then do it in a TR, JONG.
You're always bitching about when someone posts a thread in the wrong forum, so stop snivelling when you're busted doing the same shit.

There is NO SNOW in Utah worth skiing. Props to you guys for getting hard snow with rocks just below.

Skiing Main Chute repeatedly does not suck. It is a good line, the snow is still really fun, perfectly smooth, hardpack shredboard, its a fun hike, and only retards think conditions change only when its snowing.

I got it solo under the full moon.

no shit?? how was it? we toyed with the idea but decided just to cruise the groomers. saw a TON of people out on Friday night.

[shmoesmith]

Eh, Melvin is just a lame ass troll. You look at almost every one of his 24 posts and it is trying to start shit or insult someone. The fucker is going on the ignore list.

I for one like seeing the pics you guys are posting of Main Chute. I can't wait for more snow since TH posts the most excellent TR's

Always good to see a dry spell being put to use. But anyone who looks at it everyday knows it hasn't changed much lately. Whatever.

Its also good to throw shit at beatrd and jtrue, given how much shit those anal retentive buttwhores give others. If Trackhead would keep his poodles on a shorter leash there would be no issue.

And Schmo, calling shit is not starting shit.

Did you ski today Melvin?

This is a thread about skiing in the Wasatch, pics are good, we'll post 'em if we got 'em.

I give shit rarely, but when do, I open the faucet.

NOW SPLIT KOOK.

[melvin]

Did you ski today Melvin?

If I did would you suck my dick?

[beaterdit]

I don't go that way fag.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Now you go on ignore.

[Wolfmansbro]

I saw a pic from the cam today and it looked pretty good and *fairly* well filled in. Also, from the cam view, it *looked* like there's enough of a man-made base in Albion to skin up. Could be some fun laps up that way.

Again, I didn't get over on that side personally but from the cam it looked good.

Not only that, but the collins top cam had a trail map showing that location taped up obscuring the pitiful view today.

it looks like it is finally coming. There are some nice storms forming in the pacific as well, although who knows if they will go south enough...

I was a baseball player who didn't believe in jinxes, but....

That looks awesome, and if it doesn't hit us I will be angry at you.

[Johnny Deep]

Way hard...but in a tasty sort of way. When there is less than 20", if you eyes decieve you, dig a pit.

Had my fill over the weekend. Laps man, laps. When it snows I'll ski that too

[Trackhead]

The latest.........

Ultimately this could end up being an advisory level event
for The Cottonwoods.
