Winter '09
Is it global warming? Earth cycles? What's going on this winter? No matter what's going on we've had an amazingly sketchy winter for in and out of resort skiing. When I tour the wasatch all I see are unstable conditions. Layers of brick over potato chips; mostly caused by wind loading and thermal cycles. This image was taken after the fatal slide on Logan peak. Check out how it pulled all the way to the ground. The observers said the slide was about 2000 ft wide. 
A few weeks ago another slide pulled over two snowboarders near Pioneer Ridge just outside of Brighton boundries. That slide was 8 ft deep and snapped this kid's board in half...luckily he walked away. 
Tomorrow I see it's potentially raining at Alta. Rain in mid January at 10,000 ft in Utah. Who knows what's going on? This is a great resource for info on global warming. It has a pretty non-bias approach on the subject. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ Regardless, please be safe out there. Here are some great videos of Chase and Garrett terrorizing the wasatch...ZOW!
