tarponhead Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Hi, staying at Peruvian at Alta for a quick 3-Ski-day trip. Planned this trip a month ago after deal on airline tics. Indiggio is nearby and may join me tomorrow or Tuesday weather permitting. Lcc picked up 53" from the recent wed-fri storm and base is ~145"; twice as much as last time here. Skied solo in AM and in PM skied with friend and Alta guide JW who has been guiding at Alta for >20 years. Took me over cliff bands I would have never gone near only to pop out between two trees into relatively untracked pow (no place in North America gets tracked out faster). I followed him down chutes in Catherine's that were crazy steep but with all snow only mildly puckering. Got another storm coming in tonight. Maybe meh but on this base would be awesome. Maybe more, a lot more cause all recent storms over performed. Random pics, I pretty much sucked at taking pics today. Gunsight, superior and Peruvian bar off the hook Edited February 27, 2017 by tarponhead 9 Quote
toast21602 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 If not snowing down there, head to PowMow. Will be worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote

tarponhead Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Posted February 27, 2017 It's snowing and it's unbelievable. Endless powder bounces. Wildcat is DEEP. Anything off off high traverse is $. Trees top to bottom under Collins is [emoji7]. Catherine's and Devils Castle is closed today. Will be first place I head to tomorrow AM 8 Quote

tarponhead Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Serious mind expansion on the hill today. Peruvian bar off the hook with locals again. I'm in fuckin heaven. If not snowing down there, head to PowMow. Will be worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I got a serious thing for old school places. This is very high on my to-do list, believe me.

moe ghoul Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 You need to leave your family and just stay there. At least until the base melts. Blame it on a midlife man-opausal crisis. 1 Quote

tarponhead Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Posted March 1, 2017 Ok. It's official, I can't bitch how I never get "good" conditions when I head out west. Great trip. Looks like another reload tonight. Local talent is sick. Loved watching it 6 Quote
