December 2012
This Friday I took off work to ski with my brothers at the bird, it was great! I wont bore you with details but the the snow (about 2-3 feet of it) was light, the sky turned blue and we skied until we blew up. Ben almost literally when he nailed that rock at full clip.
Anyway, check out the video in the player above or on YouTube for HD and mobile HERE
Emma Ridge, looking into Silver fork and Big Cottonwood canyon.
Normally I would just call it "Davenport" or "flagstaff ridge" but thanks map! you've shown me the error of my ways!
Wade and I got to get out for the first real ski this year, last time was just too much snow and not enough slope.
We got started around 630, in the dark (and me without a headlamp) and decided that although the snow on the south facing emma ridge was going to be poor relative to other slopes, we wanted to start out on something safe and secure to build up avalanche confidence.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I LOVE watching the sun rise on the Wasatch!
It took us about an hour and half to get to the top because of some slipper snow and step kick turns (check out the map)
and once at the tops we went left to get the snow that would, hopefully, be a little more wind sheltered...it wasn't. On the plus side, it was vary variable so even though it was tough most of the time, it was creamy in a few places.
And most importantly, it was a blast.
Check out this cool jump wade...
...oh I guess you saw it. Bye wade.
There will be a video on YouTube soon. I will link to it here. In the mean time, check out the mytracks.
