Dumping again! Woke up in the bus on top of Red Mountain Pass. Marshell and I headed out around 10AM. We snowmobiled up the road towards US Basin and came across an avalanche that slid across the road. We left the basin around 5PM yesterday with no avalanche across the road and back out around 10AM with an avalanche. Not stoked on the slide we decided to turn back. On our way back we dug a pit to check out the snow. Results below. Then I snowmobiled around in some flats for a few minutes! Totally whiteout dumoing at this point! Sent it off a pillow on the sled! First time totally getting the snowmobile airborne! POWWWWWW!

Snow Report

In between US Basin and the top of Red Mountain Pass. Pit Results: West face, 11,600ft, 31 degree slope, SH 125cm, weak layer at 70cm from ground and 110cm from ground. ECT12 at the 110cm layer no propagation. Kept banging to 23 and the 70cm layer broke, but also no propagation. No snow overnight. Started snowing hard around 9AM. Very windy. Whiteout at times. Natural avalanche on a West face just shy of US Basin. The crown was about 3.5ft, was about 30 yards wide, and slid over the road. We left the basin around 5PM yesterday with no avalanche across the road and back out around 10AM with an avalanche.

I just started putting snow reports at the bottom of the days post. I am no snow expert. We are just out here getting after it everyday and I would love to share my observations to the beautiful ski community!! Be safe! Take faceshots!!!!!
