@mishka : your slogan is great: “Making friends one pair of skis at a time.”

I love it!

you forgot safety glasses lol leather pants probably little too much. However, handle roll of hardened edges require abundance of caution

Yeh, they look too much like coils of barbed wire all stacked like that. And memories of that are strong.

Talking to @mishka on the phone this morning about my skis is the positive start to the day I needed.
We hiked Alta again last night. I decided that skiing down after hiking up is my preference and doing it on a new MR will be even better..
As we passed the Collins mid I made the mistake in reminding mrsjmills about my 8 hours spent at Alta to ski half of Main Chute one last time on 8/3/2019. I had planned to take her to dinner that night for her birthday which was the day before. She wasn’t happy with me early in the day (1pm) when I had talked to her on the phone. Before and during the storm she was less understanding than earlier in the day. She drove to Alta around 830pm and starting hiking up to make sure I was ok and to not have to wait for me to get to the bottom to make sure I was aware of her “concern”. Mentioning it last night wasn’t a good idea.

My understanding is the MR102 will protect me from myself and changes in the weather

The vid was filmed in the Albion lot. I was 2000’ higher at 10,500’. When it started my pack with skis and boots strapped to it offered me little cover

Alta “improvements” this off season to Nina’s and Schuss Gully

If you have a BSL close to a 309 you can try them out this season.
@mishka -Do you have a UT trip planned and If so when will you be around?

I actually do have a bsl very close to that (306). Regardless, hopefully we can meet at some point this upcoming season for some turns.

I do. I don't plan this far out. Usually 2 to 3 weeks out at best

BTW if all goes as planned should be mailing skis late next week. No promise but is a possibility
