Mr. Right

Definitely been internet dry lately, working like a damn dog, gotta get that graft and a couple season passes. I am still shooting for a Wolf Creek or Monarch trip as Whistler would be way too far for me to go. I will definitely be frequenting this site more in the later months..... If things work out Ill be buying a place before winter

Yeah, I think Wolf Creek would be a great spot, or Utah. A drive out to SLC or Ogden from Colorado is only about 3 hours longer. So in the scheme of things not a bad option.

Mr. Right

I tell you what, whether or not I can make it to Utah depends on me buying a house but I will still be happy to have a good little Colorado meet in March for anyone that is willing to go Wolf Creek is the shit. We need to get a poll hammered out on this, I won't be able to set it up or host it if we do it in Utah as I just don't feel like I will have the same ability to do it correctly, I don't know Utah very well aside from what I remember from the mountains as a kid.

I would be interested in Montana. The only real problems I see is that Montana is very remote and flights are more costly as a result. If peeps from the great white north are thinking of doing this, I think Salt Lake would be an ideal choice. Flights are generally reasonable, the resorts are close to the airport, and lift tickets at a good portion of the resorts are also reasonable. I guess if you were planing on driving Grim, that may not be such a great option. Then again with gas prices, flying in will probably cost you just as much.

Jackson Hole would be also be sick, I would also love a meet in SLC! If Wolf Creek becomes the place and I can afford it as well as get the time off (have 2 Alaska trips this season) I will be all over doing some BC with you. Don`t have a split yet, but I can either rent something or use shoes depending upon conditions if firm enough. My MSR Denalli`s have the tail extensions and do respectably well even in pow. I am thinking about making a split out of one of my boards in fact.

I know the BC in the Cotton Wood canyons is well traveled. The main area that I was at by Ogden was not so well traveled. In all, I think you could probably get a way with snowshoes in Utah. The snow is a bit more supportable. You just don't posthole has much.
At Wolf Creek, snowshoes with work for 60-70% of the stuff. There are a few worthy drops that there is no way in hell I would want to try to get out of with snowshoes. It's fairly brutal on ski's. I do have an extra split in good condition. A Voile Freeride 166. You can also rent splits in Denver at the Edgeworks. So there are plenty of options. At Wolf Creek I know I would be tempted to spend most of the time on the pass. The BC there is that good.

Cool, if I dont have a split by then, if we do this meet, I will plan on renting or using yours. A split is so much better for long flat treks out to be sure. I do of course have a new beacon since I killed the other one by letting the batteries leak... so I am good to go as far as safety equipment.

I'm slow, but it sounds like fun

SLC does sound good. I don't mind making the drive from the Bay Area but would probably need a long weekend to do it.
