COLORADIKAL BBQ 2012

2012-01-17T02:34:47Z

Coloradikal BBQ is one week from tomorow. It has been snowing heavily today and more snow is on its way. Avalanche conditions are still very high. We will not be riding the entire wall, there is alot of snow barely hanging on. I have been watching the face all season and have documented what has and has not avalanched. We will have a good selection of technical lines. And it looks like it could be waist deep...

We have STRIVEROOTS attending and will be playing live, check them out at www.striveroots.com

We are also bringing food, please let either Dave or I know if you are attending so we can kill enough cows.

Thanks.

1/3/2012 AVALANCHE DANGER HIGH

2012-01-06T17:10:05Z

Made it back up to the basin after 4 days of high winds 120 MPH reported in Frisco. The first thing we saw was a big debris pile at the base of a chute. The crown was 300 feet long and 6inches to 3 feet deep. You could see two different slab layers on the top of the crown. The slide traveled the entire face about 700 feet. The debris pile was made of big chunks of slab and rock hard.

We chose a safe ridge to hike up then set up a belle above a undisturbed chute. We dug two pits along the convex roller just above the face. the first 3" was new wind loaded snow that you could barely cut with a shovel. Below that was another 3" shelf of similar snow quality. The two layers were not bonded well. Now 6 feet deep we found 2 feet of sugar snow on the ground. SKETCHY...

We cut a small piece of cornice (no bigger than 100 pounds) and sent it down the chute. 200 feet down the chute we herd the snow settle and the whole thing went for a ride all the way to the base 700 feet away. 100 foot crown 6inches to 2 feet deep. Looking at the crown you could see the same layers we saw in our pit analysis and could see where they all failed.

2 CHUTES DOWN MANY MORE NEED TO GO.......

I will be back up this weekend Jan. 7 and 8 to start work on the rest of the area. We have 2 confirmed snowmobiles going and could use more help either snowmobiles or man power. Come up.......

We used 4x4s, snowmobiles, splitboards and a chain saw to make it up. The road was well packed with snow from the parking lot up and is an easy 4x4 the first half. Snowmobiles can cruze through te whole valley and parts on the lower half of the wall. We saw 6 of the bigger slide paths had all ready slid natraly traveling half way down the face. Avy danger HIGH.

We will have pics posted soon.

Tues day the 3rd we are going back in to try to make some "snowboard" cuts and further analize conditions. If any one has the time free we could use some help....

How much snow do we have for the back country BBQ?
