Hey guys appreciate all the stoke and I still check in and enjoy everyones pics and conversations I just don’t have much to add. However, Doug and Corey I too am dealing with a shoulder injury. I have no clue what led to it except maybe some overuse. I was just reaching up high and felt a tweak and have not been able to raise my arm above my…[Read more]

Right on guys. Mar your post are way better without those jongy skiers. Stoked you and Wasatch are hooking up to get after it, lOcOdAvE needs someone more on his level. Did go check out some hardboots today but bought the wife a new board instead, priorities you could say (@happywifeisahappylife). @marlaireflair text me the line you did, have some…[Read more]

Nice Work Guys. Storm riding not my thing either Doug. Regretted choosing the resort over the BC on Sunday didn’t know it was going to be bluebird for most the morning. Riding lifts solo= not so much fun. I was surprised by how busy the canyon was too. When I left at 11 they had stopped letting people into Brighton and the line was backed up…[Read more]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^My legs are hurtin just looking at that.
Been meaning to chime in and thank everyone for the great stoke. The stoke and diversity of terrain and zones represented on this small thread is amazing. Puts TGRs Wasatch thread to shame and you don’t have to read through all skifishbumbumheads weird ass rants. I want to go all straight…[Read more]

It was alot of work to finally get the instagarm but it will be worth it, slowly adding people and am excited to share some stoke. I like everything related to mountains, skating, surfing, snowboarding, camping, families doing all that too. Will be posting for the marlaire_flair/locodave since he takes way better pics than me and I don’t think his…[Read more]

Just a couple beater jongs kicking it around the hood.
Dropping
Couple other jongs snaked our exit line.
Kinda toured from one avalanched slope to another avoiding any suspicious slopes. Snow quality was still good on most aspects. Take care.

Couple laps in the popper zone and one in the cirque via bombay. Most aspects got tested, busy day out there with lot’s of interesting line choices.
Snow quality was still good on E through N facing aspects. Didn’t get on any W through S facing aspects. Take care.

Ha ha, no Taylor not moving although I might as well be since I left the week/day we finally got a decent base with some decent snow. Just jonesing, I know Dave is going to be killing it and getting a season pass for the first time in 12+ years has me really enjoying another aspect of snowboarding I forgot all about. Take care.

Winds were nuking in upper little as well. Lee ward slopes faced NE/E and looked fat. Can’t say winds are good for nothing. No need to dig a pit, quick pole probes were enough to get a feel for the different crust sandwiches and facets at the bottom N-E. S facing was a little different, rain crust from Friday seem to be much more stout/bomber and…[Read more]

^^^^^^Good stuff SwitchBack, way to get off the beaten path.
New snow was right side up and just enough to reset most zones. Certain aspects got just the right little bit of a cross load to improve supportability without over loading the weak layer at the bottom. Not a lot of options so if it aint broke why fix it.Take care.

Between the lines.
Today was much of the same. Winds from last night added a little bit of a wind skin to most slopes, scoured certain ridgelines but things stayed good off the ridge. Twas cold. Take care.

Looks like another great event. I’ll make it down one year.

Got out this weekend. Tried on Friday with an early start but got shut down with visibility. Felt like I was walking upside down for while. Snow was good though, so I tried again on Saturday. Got an early start and sunny aspects were damp by 8. Most aspects were wind damaged so stuck to more protected upper bowls.
I’ve had my own personal…[Read more]
UTAH replied to the topic Wasatch Mountain Accord public input deadline in the forum Utah 8 years, 1 month ago
Always appreciate your consistent commitment to motivate people in this regard. I kept wanting them to share the results of the surveys so that we could get a general idea of the public’s opinion. I felt like they were fishing for a different outcome considering they would ask for our opinion, get the results (which we know were pro conservation,…[Read more]
