French technique is real easy in plastic ski boots. Not. It's pretty much front pointing or nothing, if you've got them attached to ski boots. Which relegates you to 35+ degree terrain.

Skied the Birthday chutes yesterday sans avy in honor of the FTO crew. Snow is good up high. Watch leeward slopes (NE-NW facing). We cornice dropped a few things and had it step down below to the crust below Saturday's events.

Skied little chute to dogleg about noon. Set some point slides off. Killer day before the sun came out at about 1. Great great may skiing. First runs down diagonal chutes this morning was righteous.

I wore a garbage bag skirt today. Made riding the lift a bit dryer. Won't be any good tomorrow, best sleep in!

Good day today on both sides of the rope. Tram to the now filled in chute above hanging bowl. Tram to Blady Tram to Baldy Wildcat from Baldy Keyhol(y)e Tram to wilbur bowl Tram to hanging bowl again For those that were curious.

Just another reason this crew should head down to snowbird more often. Walk on 3K laps. No brainer.

Dawn patrol. Some of us have to work.

16 IN up at DV this morning.

We'll know more in the morning. Hard to surpass Saturday April 4th though. 3 Feet over night at a couple percent density.

My sentiments exactly. Especially the sunbathing girls. The salida axiom of life one sunbathing girl = 12 inches of powder. One can see how the feet add up quickly.

No where even competes to the beach scene. Happens every weekend, march thru june. I think the spring skiing at the basin is better then almost anywhere else. Much higher elevation, the corn sticks around longer, and your almost always guaranteed a freeze over night. Unlike CA/UT. Stolen image:

Tony it's about the scene at the basin.

Abasin is a spring.summer place, unless you happen on a very rare bluebird powder morning. Once the warm weather hits, there is no place better.

Ahhh. Monarch, where it all began. My intuition would say Monarch gets about 30% less snowfall than Wolfcreek does. Never the less Monarch skis more intuitively then WC. Monarchs lift set up reminds me much of Solitude's, with lesser vertical.

Eh, I just ski bell to bell alot that is where my perspective is coming from. If it's only going to be a 4 hr day, than I'd pick LCC over BCC any day. Hell you'd spend 2 hr of a 4 hr day riding a lift at solitude.

To bad you had to wait until 1030 to start skiing, I think that was Tony's point.

Should have gone over to the bird earlier. Four and done at Alta. The late bird openings were insane.

Sharon, do you really have to stir the pot. They did everything right, and a pit at the top of that slope would not have been representative of the conditions in the slope. Maybe they hung it out there a bit more than normal, but everything turned out OK, and the group can learn from it. But...

Skiing the snowboarders line last weekend. A picture of the area.

I'm glad everyone is OK. I've skied that slope 3 times in the last two weeks and am surprised to see it slab off the way it did, especially under the current conditions. We caused a similar slab in Tuscarora from a ski cut today, though not of the same slope size.
