WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS, AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 18-19

[Particle]

Damn I've been gone from this place a long time. WTF does BBI stand for? Bummer about comma. Loved the runs I got there back when they were open.

[tBatt]

Jeeeesus it gets deep an all of a sudden everyone is here. Doesn’t matter if it’s midweek or not.

Had a few delectable S facing runs before noon yesterday. Went for an afternoon W facing run and we had slow moving, soft, wet sluffs and I got a sunburn.

Kinda sucks to be part of a problem. Never intended to be. Always pictured myself being part of a solution. Ah well, youth, innocence, reality, and all.

Looking forward to a bunch of mags down here in a week and a half.

Dibs, how'd you pick the best year in a decade to host a BBI?
You one of them soothsayers or sumthin?

I think I had to leave the satch in one of the least best
hit alpy and montucky
and be properly safety space invadedly vetted by the baker bob

and bbi is
like the old days of powder maggots summits and minis
where the members of the community
get to gather irmfl
and celebrate that which brought you here to begin with
so if you came here to be an anonoumous cunt from your pc
just stay home and carry on
yo nate1
them og marshalolsen skis got done while I was in bc by a fine young bum whose learning the art of ski luvs
they came out awesome
I still think they need demo tech binders and become the new tgr traveling touring skis
because not all the goods are lift accessed
lemme know what you want to do with them

Well I wasnt saying that you were the problem, i had just heard it was the bird side that was less interested in opening that terrain. I never tried getting it from the snowbird side. Is it possible without dipping into Alta first?

Heck im glad I got to ski it those couple years. Fun line, but you best know exactly where you're going.

Thanks for all the hard work Tele...

I went there in mid jan for footbed work and he was still around. He did a great job.

You can try calling but it’s just him and his wife running the show and they were crazy booked as of a month ago (consistently referring people to his former employee now at 2nd tracks). When I was there he told me it’s better stop by in person to make an appt if you have time, or just wait a week and they will get back to you.

He’s still off 900 by some roofing supply. It’s on google maps now, info below

Weird, I went there and couldn’t find him. Thought I found Unit D and there was some other logo on the door. I’ll try again, thanks.

thought it was more than one...huh? Seemed like 2 years in a row....also didnt seem like 8 years ago...time flies by when you live in the wasatch i guess. either way I skied it a handful of times.

It was open one season and pine day. The one day it opened the next year a snowboarder was hurt in a small slide just beyond the keyhole rope line.

Caught a perfect window before moisture returns with a vengeance. Had to get up mallwalker-early and deal with some brutal cold and creepy fog but it was well worth it once things lit up.

[mall walker]

^ looks sick

Fuck yeah!!

Up the BW apron for a NE face... Not many apron ascents. God the NE face looks good for early March.
You and the Walker been getting after some obscure lately. Well done!

[Norseman]

I had been up that way in the spring a long time ago, it feels faster than any of the other approaches. Booting the E face is more committing with all the stuff hanging over your head and the cliff below, although I would have preferred knowing what the cliff looked like instead of dropping in blind. And the S face is not really an option I think, traversing the ridge would take a lot of time and even more fear.
The BW aprons are a bit shorter and lower angle than the E face, less time spent facing the dragon! In 2011 there was a monster crown across both aprons, this time we managed to skin the sluffs about 2/3 of the way up then it was perfect booting. And the cirque is such a magical place to be!
I had been waiting to go back up there since getting skunked in 2011. Could probably have done it a dozen times since then but 8 years is a short time to wait for the right conditions!
