My bride and I are on a 5 day getaway, this is my first opportunity to use a computer, which means copious turns were had in a remote location. I hope all of you out there are having fun as well with your loved ones!

Jon F. is right. Just driving up that road can be very risky. There are multiple avalanche run-outs that cross that road. Those bowls can be hanging by a hair trigger with no obvious sign from the road.

Greg,

The lines that used to only be done in springtime were the steeper ones, regardless of location. Northeast face of No Name is a good example. I was just making a general observation of some skiers’ behavior as of late, who seem more inclined (no pun intended) to hit the steeps mid-winter, rather than wait for the traditional spring consolidation. Seems to be a lot more risk these days with folks getting into exposed areas with limited, if any, safe zones. To each his own, I guess.

Jon F, when you say “the lines usually reserved for Springtime” are you referring to those under No Name? Is that why it got skied so little over the wknd? It was only skied by 4 people the whole wknd, from the Anvil alleys down the ridge to No Name. Or is there another reason skiers avoid this area despite it offering more consistently long pitches than the bowl? Curious.
