Fattwins 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 the crown tis the line in the snow where the snow broke away from itself. the size of the fracture is then taken in length (across) and max depth of what broke away. The first guy skied the ridge the second guy did not. I would gather that they pooped their pants a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 It must have happened right after we got up there because on the announcments as we were getting ready to skin up they warned everybody about avalanches. And there was a patroller standing just above the top chair looking into the bowl Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 yeah well who ever it was it couldve been nasty. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 So I was going through the pictures as I cleaned off my card and this picture got me FT I want to ski the left couloir of the pair on the right. Looks like it gets a bit more sun than the north facing ones we want so maybe it would be softer. And as long as that ridge isn't too hard we could get into it pretty easy. You gotta find out when you get your vacation because I don wanna ski these things on my own. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Has someone put a line down the left one or is that a natural slide from about half way down? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Looks like a slide I doubt anybody would have skied it on that day because it would have been a sheet of ice Cool FT Let me know I'm hopefully taking from March 18 - April 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I would love to go up there sometime, in fact if I only did something like that once, and nothing else for the rest of the season, I'd be as satisfied as any office bunny could be. Link to post Share on other sites
