Admin and I nitpick over some of the nuances in LCC

Tony nitpicks. Admin's brain implodes.

Were you skiing powder, then? No pictures, so I'll assume it did not happen

Even worse, he was there skiing groomers until he received confirmation that Backside was actually any good.

We did one groomer warm-up before our several untracked runs on Backside. It had far more to do with 3 people* in their late 50's on their 7th consecutive day (and for my two house guests from NJ, their first skiing since last season) than any comments confirming it was good. And we didn't need to go as far as Susies to get our untracked, nor traverse half way around the Wasatch to lower North Rustler.

*: if we pooled body parts, we could probably build one healthy, functional, pain-free 40 yr old. Saturday was when Kerry was forced to wear his shoulder brace for the first time that week [he's had two surgeries in that shoulder from the same ski injury - torn rotator cuff and detached bicep].

They were at Alta at the right time while we were sucking our respective thumbs.

You mean while *you* were sucking your thumbs.

Marc sez:

Almost makes sucking thumbs seem preferable
