I've Skied This

Starting zones with a 55 degree inclination are much less likely to
hold a load for a latent release. But it does happen. There are no
absolutes. Only good judgement. Good judgement comes from direct
observation of the 2007-08 snowpack as it falls and settles.

Yep, I'm not sure I'm ready for 55 degrees. I've probably only skied in
the mid 40s for any distance (Wolverene Circus--and those are short lines).

I got hammered for stating that same thing about the snowpack. You gotta
watch the snow through the season and/or dig a bunch of pits to see what's
up. I always dig at least one full depth pit when I travel somewhere else
to ski and then usually smaller ones as the days progress. Since I don't
live up there, I'd need a guide/local to show me around. That terrain is
nothing to **** with.

Dewd, Hate to tell you this but you could have skied Everest, K2,
North Face of the Eiger, The Empire State Building, and you would
still be nothing but a name-dropping, uneducated, lazy, freeloading,
middle-aged asshole. Doesn't change a ****ing thing.

He's uneducated? That's news to me.

I guess he wouldn't be impressed with my degree from MIT.

Go Buckeyes!

Can't see any of that from the trail maps, eh? What's with this trail map
anyway? Why is there a line around Cody peak? Is it controlled/patrolled,
or does that line mean "hike to OB terrain"? You have to boot it or skin
from bottom of Cody bowl to get back in-bounds (other than skiing down Rock
Springs Bowl)?

The line is for marketing. They charge beau coup bucks for back country
guides. From the summit of peak 10,450, (the top of the tram), it's a short
boot pack up the ridge. Save your skins for later. It's wild snow. No
avalanche control. The ski patrol is closer than Teton County Search and
Rescue, so they'll head out when lives are threatened. Rock Springs is a
fun ski. It's easy to follow tracks traversing toward the South Hoback at
the bottom.

Is there another map/pic with more of the ski lines drawn in? I'll check
the JH Avie page.

Focus Productions has a double sided ariel photograph. Out south on one side
and the Dark Side on the other. Great view of Granite Canyon lines on the
Dark Side, albeit, fairly useless for route finding. Check with Wade McCoy
on that.

That makes your choice, at a later stage of life, even less excusable.
