To Ski or Not to Ski...

Its that time of year when skiing is a pain in the ass, usually worth it, but always a gamble. Actually its been a pain in the ass for a few months now. The fact that waiting one more week could change the game considerably leads to a habitual procrastination traditionally only encountered when attending school...

More Pix From the Weekend

Grand Weekend

Nice Sunrise

Going Up

What!!!???

Yup!!!

Priceless...

Testing testing

Mendon Peak, Wellsvilles

Supposedly the Wellsvilles are the steepest range in the world (base width compared to vertical relief) I doubt thats true but its still a pretty steep narrow range, the 1st pix is looking over the ridge on the other side, is basically 1 mtn wide, and kindof a cool aspect with the Bear River in the background. Solo today, but pretty quick averaging an ascent rate of 1750' per hour, it only took two hrs to top out at 9000'+ for a nice 3500' run.

More than meets the eye

USU is probably the most under rated "ski-school" around, first thoughts usually go to MSU, U of U or something in Colorado. Beaver Mountain is adequate to take care of you're next date, but it's not going to induce much blood flow (I guess that would depend on the date) :) (forgive me :/) The Bear River Range and surrounding area receives close to 400" a year, that's worthy of attention.. Peaks pretty much top out just below 10K, and with a sled for access they can become very accessible. Plus, you're not sharing any of it with a bunch of college kids.

Keep your eyes peeled for Cache Valley's first B.C. Guidebook sometime next year...
