As you many have heard (and if you follow my tweets and those on FISWX you would know that there is a very decent chance this weekend of seeing some snow flakes. As an aside, we are going to coin a new term in this post: “Flutter.” (Yes I know it’s already a word). Flutter is what I’m going to use to describe snow flurries out of season that don’t add up up to much, maybe leave a coating here and there, and generally just stoke the fires. That’s flutter. Deal with it. Or not…I don’t care….it’s your loss. Read on….

Schusstember

After many hot summer months, and too few Indian Winters, Dwyer decided that the only way he’d complete his lets-ski-every-month-of-the-year-streak would be to pilfer the the holiest of Alta’s pistes: The Devil’s Castle.  Dwyer shares the same zest for small patches of snow as our counterpart Greg does, and as such proceeded to scurry up endless moraines of scree right into the heart of the Castle. front

SPAM #3: Little Superior Upper Snowfields–LCC, UT

From Utah, to Vtah, back to Utah goes the SPAM Series. This one hearkens back to early January when Porter, his brother Dwyer (the victor of the [Other] Stowe Derby) and I made a bid to ski Mount Superior in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. Fortunately (or was it unfortunately?) en route to our ski date with the summit we made powder schussings on a western aspect of Flagstaff, and then in Toledo Bowl, as we worked our way west to Superior. This left us tired, late and gasping for air (relentless faceshots will do that to a man) as we ascended Superior from the east after a changeover near the bottom of Toledo Bowl. At the top of Little Superior we reassessed the situation, and decided Superior proper would have to wait another day. We’d have to “settle” for a schuss-make of Little Superior’s south east face. For more on the actual descent (and a few brief shots of the ascent of Little Superior’s eastern shoulder) check out the full TR. For now though I bring you the meat of this week’s SPAM: A series of Ski Photos AMalgamated:
