Natural Avalanche in Cardiac Bowl

Posted in Alta, Avalanche Safety, Skiing on January 28th, 2010

How about a gasp for the current Little Cottonwood Canyon snowpak? The first photo below is courtesy of Spencer Wheatley on Facebook… although he points out that he didn’t take the photo. Here is his caption, and the photo:

“Natural avalanche in Cardiac Bowl -Fracture wraps into Little Superior Buttress.”

From the same cycle, check this next photo from High Greeley in the Alta Ski Area boundaries…this photo taken by Carvn Chip Robinson. Jesse posted a quote on an article at The Daily POW about this, yikes…

“An Alta ski patrol worker was briefly buried during avalanche-control work at the resort Sunday morning. About 9 a.m., he was helping with routine avalanche control when he was caught in a larger-than-expected slide near Greeley Bowl, said Alta General Manager Onno Wieringa. He was buried with only a hand sticking out, but his fellow patrollers pulled him out within about two minutes.”

Man, scary stuff. Stay safe out there hippies.

Outdoor Affiliate Events

I’m about to start a busy ten days smack in the middle of the Utah January thaw. Maybe the real deal POW will show up when I’ll need it most  towards the end of the month. Although I certainly wouldn’t complain if I was on top of Baldy today. Check out Alta’s pic of the day for 1/11/10…

On Sunday the AvantLink crew will be leaving for Vegas for Affiliate Summit…arrive Sunday morning and leave Tuesday morning. Two nights is good for me. It’s honestly about all I can handle in one of those casinos. Maybe I’ll only spend $100-a nickel at a time-this year.

Wednesday night we have an Outdoor Industry Association dinner in Salt Lake City, and then OR winter market starts on Thursday. Looking forward to seeing a range of people there. And on Saturday, January 23rd our company is sponsoring both an educational seminar on Affiliate marketing and a meet and greet reception. If you’re reading this, going to OR, and have an interest in Affiliate marketing feel free to come around for one of both of the events. Here are some details:
