Nice work! I went up Middle Canyon earlier this year and attempted the Tooele Cirque but turned around due to the terrible snowpack. I tour the stansburries semi frequently. I like to hit the twins as I work out that way and my office over looks them. Let me know if you want to get out sometime.

My quest to ride all of Utah's skiable mountains took me the Oquirrh range. The Oquirrh's are the Wasatch's uglier, less accessible and more ravaged-by-mining/industry cousin to the west that are seen by all but heard from by few. But they still have snow so why not...

But it took me longer than I expected on the approach and it was getting kinda late in the day to be riding a sunny aspect that hadnt gone through its wet slide cycle yet, especially being solo in a area that now one visits and out of cell phone range.

So I opted for a more sun/wind protected slope..

Compared to my other non-wasatch tours(LaSals and Tushars) todays riding conditions were suprisingly good. Soft settled powder. But the earn to turn ratio is still nowhere close to the cottonwoods. Still, its always fun to explore new terrain.
