Yes, it is debris from the large cornice directly above. It broke the day before while some UAC forecasters were in the area. I thought I could get them a clearer photo.Looks like the cornice broke off.
We saw your car on the road. It appears you bushwhacked the climb? We snowshoed to the picnic table in an ode to Gizmo, and bushwhacked. Way more fun than the beaten path.A little warmer, a little earlier. Same zone, different lines...

I am trying to pretend that I am actually in the real backcountry. I have been having to go further and further out to find areas that have not been skied. Interesting that I saw way less people Saturday then in previous days. Lots of people on the golf course though. Looking like rain today so I guess I can finally rest my poor feet.We saw your car on the road. It appears you bushwhacked the climb?

So sorry about Gizmo I wore myself out pulling his sled in December

More shaking in Utah. 4.2 magnitude about 10 minutes ago
Wow, crazy stuff going on.We felt it in Layton!
Please give Bryce our condolences.I wascommentingwhining yesterday how this is probably the best spring skiing here in years, and we haven't been able to ski it. I mean, tons of snow late March, and mostly cool temps.
I am quite certain that @utskier's other horse will more than admirably fill Gizmo's shoes in pulling that sled. Yes, it was heavy! He just needs to get her in shape. (For those who are wondering-he had to put down his 21 year old horse who has been his pack companion, parade companion, gaming companion, for 20 years just Thursday. He's pretty devastated. He used to pull a sled each December about a mile into the woods in the snow to a party our Swiss friend had every year, with a bonfire and fondue.)
I will definitely do that. Thanks!Please give Bryce our condolences.
So jealous!!Snowbasin got 11” new. We skinned to the top of JP. Good times!
