Nice work Doug and Dan! I’ll have to check out one of those events this year… my daytime touring is severely limited with the lil’ guy in the mix, so the night time skinning would be good for me!

(Also, nice lines recently Whitepine and UTAH!)

Happy turkey day everyone!

Yep, just a great day with quite a crew of splitboarders, thanks for making it happen everyone! :thumpsup:

A picture from upper Albion after breaking off:

The grassy groomers rode pretty nice actually, with a base that seemed relatively supportive up there. I don’t think any of us hit rocks, but we definitely rode cautiously.

Thanks for the report UTAH!

Update for tomorrow morning for all you splitboarders out there…

Meeting at 9 in the Albion parking lot by the gate. Probably just going to skin up the summer road and see what it all looks like. Not really planning on riding much, but it’ll be good to stretch the legs. I’ll bring some extra beacons if we want to…[Read more]

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!

How about bottom of LCC at 7 or 8, or meet in the Albion Basin parking lot at 8 or 9?

And, I was just looking at forecasted temps… I don’t think there’ll be much standing around for beacon…[Read more]

miiiigggghhht go for a walk on Sunday, we’ll see

What about some sort of informal coffee preseason splitboard whiskey transceiver meet-up gathering on Sunday, regardless of snow amounts?

We could walk and talk, do some beacon drills, maybe make some turns, and generally give each other a bunch of high-fives. :headbang:

Any takers?

Winter sort of came to the Wasatch this weekend.

So, we did what had to be done:

Not a whole lot of snow up there. With high pressure back, it could all go to facets and we’ll have avalanches on that in February.

Oh, well, this Fall has been freaking gorgeous!

Nice fellas!

Well, here it is… the final pictures of the season. Thanks Kyle for coming down to tell us stories that might make you cringe or smile. :headbang:

And, thanks Bucky for putting on a rocking Wasatch Splitfest. Let’s make it a tradition!

Awesome Dave, nice analysis!

Last event of the year, presented in conjunction with the 2014 Wasatch Splitfest.

Kyle Miller is going to be in town for the Splitfest, and he’ll be telling a few stories for the Thursday event down at Wasatch Touring. Looking forward to it! If you’re in town for the Splitfest, or a Utah local, come on down to do this 😯 , this 😆 ,…[Read more]

A funky photo that looks like a watercolor painting from last Thursday down at Wasatch Touring. It was awesome hearing from Jeremy Jensen tell the story of his powsurfers! Pretty sweet thing he’s got going on.

Thanks to the folks who came down, and we’re excited for February’s event that will coincide with the Wasatch Splitfest.

Nice shots UTAH and Mar123!

Hey, for all the folks in and around SLC, come on down to Wasatch Touring tomorrow night (th, 1/23) to hear Jeremy Jensen from Grassroots Powdersurfing up in Logan talk about his thoughts on soul surfing. Should be a good time!

Same format as usual, and get in touch with ?s. Peace!

Nice work getting out on a storm day mar123 and Switchback! Seems like avalanche conditions could be interesting for an avalanche class this coming weekend.

Here’s the flyer for the next installment. Just wanted to make sure all the Utah splitters saw this. Should be a sweet show!

A little late, but here’s a photo of forum member mej speaking at the December event.

Next event will be Thursday, Jan. 23 down at Wasatch Touring.

Stay tuned for a flyer announcing the details and speaker. Super excited for this one! :bananas:

Nice work gentlemen! Posts are almost more interesting in low snow times.

SwitchBack, nice pic of the “sandloading”. Appropriate term, eh?

Snurfer and Snowvols, way to get out on an adventure. Better than most of us could do. 😀 And Mar123, finding untracked snow as always. Got your message the other day, thanks for the ring,…[Read more]

Just making sure the UT crowd has seen this. Come on down to Wasatch Touring to listen to forum member mej lay it down like a boss!

Ah, nice works guys! Way to get out and get it, all of y’all! :bananas:

We just stood around in the cold on Saturday playing with beacons…

And learning how to skin…

And baby duties have been calling…

Packing tomorrow, and off to the Tetons on Tuesday…

Talk to you all when I get back in a couple weeks. Peace!

Oh, yeah,…[Read more]

When you get the hall pass, you gotta go, no matter the conditions. :headbang:

So, by around noon today, I found myself skinning through shin-deep facets at 10000 feet. Hey Mar123 and UTAH, you didn’t miss anything.

There’s 1-2 feet of snow on the ground on N aspects in the Catherine’s/Alta periphery. Here’s some familiar territory with a…[Read more]
