The Dirty Devil river water, we let it settle over night in a bucket, filtered it, drank it.

My personal preference when descending canyons is to stay in the water course whenever feasible, which I did at the choke narrows. Certainly a subpar exit fork, but not so bad really, I mean you just blast downward, not…[Read more] buckchow replied to the topic UTAH 2013/2014 Conditions in the forum Utah 8 years, 5 months agoWe rode off the top of Broads Fork East Twin yesterday. There were remains of a few new (less than 48 hr old) wind slab avalanches in the Diving Board and upper Broads Fork area on NE facing. The snow in the NW chute was smooth and wind affected with no instability. The hike out Deaf Smith Fork was just fine.
